Well, I guess anyone that's tired of it can just skip reading my posts. I put a lot of emphasis on the little girl part because my T does too, and that's how we frame the big split I feel inside me. I know there are some other posters here that talk about that same split, so I don't think I'm unique. I thought it might be triggering for some the idea of my T setting limits like that because there are other people here that share my fear of abandonment by their T's. But I put emphasis on the little girl because my T encourages me to do visualizations with that and imagine the adult soothing the little girl and things like that. I have trouble believing it's ok to have that part of me, but I'm beginning to understand that with trauma and complex PTSD, it's almost expected by my T.
Anyway, it's fine if you don't agree with the approach I am taking in my therapy (and I can't really tell whether you do or whether you're just offering up ideas to think about). My therapist agrees, so that's all that really matters to me I guess. I come here for support when I'm feeling shaky, so I don't always post here about all the healthy things I do in my life... I tend to emphasize the not-so-healthy things here, so people probably only see one side of me.
