Ugh Ugh Ugh. I’ve just realised. I’m mothering my parts the same way my mother mothered me. Just trying to do things for them or provide their physical needs. Not talking or interacting with them at all.
Ack. Obvious I know. But still. I’ve found it so sad that I was so alone growing up and even my own mum never wanted to interact with me. Pushed me away. And now realising I do the same thing to my young parts. Ugh ugh ugh. Nasty.
I’ve known before that I do this. But it’s like working in the therapy spiral. Come round to the same insight again, but at a different level in the spiral.
Feel like inside is broken rubble after an earthquake. Don’t want to be nasty. But I don’t have words for them.
