i'll be sitting in chat for a couple more minutes. if you just wanted to come in for a minute or two just to get over the initial hurdle, i am happy to sit with you. i can't stay long, but it might just be a safe little step if you wanted it. there's just me and doll in chat at the moment and we're both pretty safe. if it's still too scary to come in, that's ok too.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
