Have many with no names here too. Names are not safe for some/many inside. Some learned it is ok to have a name and were excited to be able to pick one. I have one who likes having a name yet will change it if anyone speaks the name on the outside. That is confusing but just the way it is. I know this one is like comilian and I can sence who she/he is even when she changes her/his name and even sexual identity. I know that sounds strange but I've learned it is what it is and there was a reason at the time for it. Color idea is great maybe some of yours will agree to that even help with more ideas in how to do it.
Journaling is near to impossible with us too. Good to hear someone elses gets destroyed too. The one thing that lasted the longest was getting a sketch pad and it seemed to help cuz ones who had no words, or didn't know how to express in words or afraid of words could draw and those who did not feel safe writing on wordpad seemed to write in phrases or one words on it and color markers seemed to be helpful. Gone through a denial stage so it's been a while anything has been written or looked at or worked on. Have to go looking for the sketch pad. I'm sure it is in a safe place but where that is I have no idea at this point. Hope not babbling too much!
