Hi Daisy,
Thanks for your post. My T has touched on inner child work a little. I tried journaling/dialoging and really don't feel much connection to the younger part of myself. What connection I had I didn't like. It has been stressed that I need to reclaim that part of me. But do I really?
I have some compartmentalization issues and poor memory as well, but this could be hormonal, there is abs hst.
Someone suggested art therapy as a way around resistance. I have a hard time expressing my feelings to my T. I tend to bottle it up. When I do discuss I generally feel anxiety about talking and end up hating myself more and wanting to punish myself. So its easier to not talk sometimes.
I actually think babble is turning out to be one of the most useful things I've tried. I've felt more relief from knowing others are going through same. And find it easier to discuss things on here than with a T sometimes.
I've also tried writing and then shredding what I've written. I like this alot! :)
thanks,
happykat :)
