Do you ever get into the child self and say things to your t that you feel really surprised and/or embarrassed about later? If so, how do you handle that?

i feel so strongly that i need to let the hurt child speak. But i keep such a tight rein on her for fear she will say something wrong/dumb/embarrassing.

it's rare when i can express things from that part of me because of fear and shame.

even when the child does talk and my t is accepting/soothing, later i feel afraid that i said something or did something wrong.

i think it comes from when i was a little girl and my dad always criticized or made fun of my feelings.

i don't know how to stop being scared about it.
Thanks for this!
