Hope you are able to share this letter with your T. SD
i thought the same thing as i was writing this and had to think back to how the colors came about
T was talking about the part of me that doesn't allow me to speak most of the time.she talked about that a lot .one day we were on the floor playing a simple board game and we assigned different parts of me to the different colored pieces to represent the battle that goes on in me red was the one who doesn't let me talk the protector.the part that didn't talk that seems small and pathetic was pink.
maybe someday we will be able to come up with a part that is purple.who has hope and strength and confidence
