Yesterday, I had an appointment with my T. He used hypnosis so I could try to get in touch with the little ones and begin an introduction, nurturing relationship with them. It was an amazing, scary, overwhelming experience. I was able to hold her and comfort her and we were wrapped in a love neither one of us had ever experienced before. It was undescribable.

Since that time, I have been sick to my stomach with a headache. Is this a psychosomatic response to this new experience? Has anyone else experienced this and will it go away?

I have homework to do with her. I have to acknowledge her twice a day and read to her. When she is experiencing bad feelings, I am supposed to acknowledge her and repeat my nurturing messages (thank goodness, my T wrote them down for me). It's very difficult, there is so much confusion and fear, but I am trying.
