i was really stressing one day and my t said she wanted to talk to the part of me that was stressing me out. she said the technique she used is called voice-dialog work. she started asking her questions like her name, what she wanted, etc. it was quite weird. i heard the answers and answered for my inner child. when i heard answers that i would have never come up with myself i knew i wasn't making this stuff up. then one time a month or two later i had an internal vision that i think was her right after i was trying to talk to some other inner children. weird!!

I first acknowledge my inner child late one night after a difficult therapy session. I've since acknowleged other inner "people" or ego states. I mainly tap into them via drawing. I don't particularly care for these often childish states. However, I have not been successful separating from them. I've recently taken the approach of just trying to find out what they are feeling.

i need to read more in the book i got, but i think the reason we can't get rid of them is because they are actually parts of our brain. i think it's sort of like a certain part of our brain gets activated when a particular inner child is active. short of a lobotomy i think we're stuck with them.
but we can retrain them to do other things.
