I really appreciate your thinking of me. As my analysis got deeper, the younger parts of me became much more prominent, with the grown-up me almost disappearing. That was a very difficult time, really experiencing all the past abuse as if it were happening in the present. It made me feel very alone and untrusting- even to the point of not really trusting people here on Babble. Things are getting a good bit better now- perhaps those young parts are really getting the chance to grow through their connection to my analyst, and the work we have been doing together. I feel so lucky to have found him, as he's a nationally recognized expert on dissociative disorders (USA), including ego state disorders, whch is what I have.
I have lurked a bit, though, and have been really struck by the positive changes I see in your posts. You seem much more reflective, and less thrown off by various emotional storms. It's so good to see. I hope that's really true! Anyway, your intelligence and thoughtfulness really do show through a lot.
Thank you so much for checking in with me!
