Thanks for the hug, RSK.
Today my therapist asked me if I was allowing little daisy to sleep with her stuffed animal. (I've had it since I was 7 and it has gone to therapy with me a few times.) I shook my head and said no, it was on my dresser, put there since my surgery. He said little daisy needs "comforts" since telling can be traumatic in some ways. I thought it was funny that he remembered that.
I'm honoring my protective side too. I feel sort of split right now but I do know that both sides serve a purpose. I had to work very hard at not flooding and it still sometimes happens. And sometimes the tears have to come before the words - so crying is a way of telling. I hope you allow those tears - you earned the right to each and everyone of them.
