i made an actual little safe corner at home. screened off with cushions on the floor and a little bookcase to hold my safe stuff. safe books, colouring stuff, notes from t, stuffie, my comfort book, things like that. actually having a safe place to sit in made it that little bit easier to face inside stuff. it was really important for me to learn how to feel safe in a place outside of t.

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.
