I guess I am giving a voice to that small child so those frozen parts of her can "thaw" and heal...I am thankful for all of your replies!

Hi Butterflies are free. I'm doing a similar process to you. I talk to the inner child and allow him to scream since he was not allowed to do this as a child. It is very empowering and is actually healing. It ties in with neuro-plasticity a new term discovered by scientists since they say you can change the hard-wiring of the brain. So for me the locked in trauma in my brain I am now releasing. This leads to healing and an end to flashbacks and triggers.
