The dolls were soft cotton with no features at all. I guess the idea was to let a part of my personality communicate through the doll. I've read how this is useful for children and I've also researched just now how it can be used for adults in therapy. To be able to separate and possibly distance the emotions onto a doll and verbalize from there.

I told T it might be more useful that I have dolls representing different parts of myself communicate to each other instead of communicating with T. She thought that was a good idea. I told her I didn't want to do it now though.

Since then I've been thinking that it would be too scary and vulnerable for me to do that. I can imagine bringing out the different aspects of myself and having a free-for-all. Using the dolls could externalize it to some extent.

She invited me to take them home and decorate them with colored pens or any other way in order for them to represent what I would like. I think I could imagine doing such an exercise but not with T - I'd have to be alone. I would not be able to let myself be so exposed.
