ladymacabethadmunsen,
Thank you for sharing. I can remember when I felt like you described. It was back in my twenties when I first became aware of other parts of me surfacing and struggling to make themselves known to me. I was afraid and confused and had no one to talk to about it. Things have improved so much over the last few years.
Communication with that inner world is so very, very helpful. I hope you continue to communicate and feel the warmth of understanding within yourself.
