A breakthrough in inner child stuff

Posted by Tabitha on October 1, 2008, at 0:02:56

I've been trying to get better at this inner child stuff. At home I've been using a stuffed animal and trying to learn to direct comfort and love toward it when I'm sad. In session today we did one of our visualizations where she takes me back to meet my child self, and it was different this time. I can actually feel love and empathy for the sad little girl! Up til now I could only connect with the happy little girl.

Now that I learned to do it, I can't understand why it was so hard before. It feels much better to comfort her than to try to keep her distant and out of awareness.

It seems like if I can do this, I can get through anything life may bring. I just use my adult part to comfort my scared, sad, or lonely parts.

It's some kind of small miracle. My T said I've turned a corner.
