Sounds scarey Maddie. I wish you could find a way in and save that little girl. Maybe you just don't have the right key yet, but it seems like you are getting closer. Perhaps the work you are doing in therapy, and feeling safer is allowing you to move closer to this age state and figure out what she needs to be free from this fear.
That live fear you described is very disturbing. I think this is one of the things that is a bit mind-blowing about frozen feelings...when you thaw them and feel them, they are so REAL...you have to try to find a way to remind yourself that you aren't in immediate danger.
The other thing that I've learned is that the bars and locks and walls and other defenses do not come down easily. So as close as we think we are to freeing ourselves, we still have work to do. The trick is to get up quicker when we get knocked down and to shake ourselves off and move on.
When is the next time you see your therapist?
