Peaches100,

Thanks for stating so well what we are going through. Little bit by little bit...

I really like fins ideas of soothing with:

How about- go give that little girl a giant lollypop, or buy her her favorite movie, walk through the toy dept and let her see and pick out the most special thing(play dough, legos, stuffed animal, silly putty) that will give her that warm feeling inside- (the warm feeling inside is important-IMO)....

YOU are her safety zone now you have the power to comfort her, make her feel special, cared about and loved-- you know her better than anyone else.

We are even taking our little ones to our new class on martial arts (at least we let her see out a bit when it is safe) and so far so good. A very little one saw her mommy's heart today and some luv, something she needed, or was needy for.

I don't think our little ones think they are being healed or not being healed...they don't think they are sick or anything. Does that make sense? They just sometimes feel things and want to be reassured by our therapists because sometimes as adults we haven't quite figured out how to do that.

And thanks to KP for this:

I guess we can't rush these things! Just wanted to let you know you're not alone, and to keep on keeping on.

Peaches, I think you are right to say to take the time you need and do the best you can and not rush it. Thanks for the reminder.
