This has been my experience in T. And I've realized that the parts that have had their experiences, feelings, needs, fears, thoughts, memories witnessed by T and by adult me are the parts that I am much more able to accept and to soothe and take care of on my own.
The parts that are still hiding their stories are the ones I don't know quite what to do with yet. Other than try to let them experience the same "witnessing and validating" by T and by me. Ack.
It's hard, hard work, but SO worth it, rainbow
