I'm a little late with this one. So yesterday I was grateful:
  • for my massage dude
  • that I'm already way exceeding the number of samples my supervisor thought I could collect
  • for Dr Phil talking about selfish/self involved mothers and what I'd like to hear my mother say. I've known I want something from her, but he articulated what it was. And it feels validating to hear him talk to mothers like this.

He said that we can email as MUCH as we want (100 times per day). Believe in this - it is challenging fears about being punished. It is okay to be seen. You are not a nuisance. "Too much" simply means exploration, not punishment/withdrawal. Trust in him.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
