Thank you for understanding, geez. It is a very powerful type of therapy, and I'm glad you have experienced so much healing from it. I think my T is pretty awesome too.

I hope to move toward that with this young adult me. I think we made a good start. She's not a child but still needs my love and acceptance. I have done ego state therapy with some child-aged selves a few years ago and was able to embrace and rescue them. There was no "block" to my doing so like there seems to be with this older ego state. This young adult self seems, in some ways, like the "last frontier" in therapy to me. I feel strongly now that I want to work with her. For the last few years, I think I have been avoiding this as too painful. But I am here now, we are working on it, and it is going OK!
