theres probably other feelings hidden away. i know i just kinda stuff things down or cut feelings off or basically just do what ever i can to escape them so they dont exist. but theyre there. they just come out in other ways (like hurt can get turned into anger, or could be stuffed away under work).

i guess a goal in t is to feel safer with feeling things, to understand why they get pushed away or covered over, get practice at starting to feel stuff. t can help with all those things.

ive often felt broken cause i dont feel some things but t insists theyre there. its just a matter of finding them. not feeling them is a form of protection.

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.
