I'm sorry you have this struggle but ... from a horribly selfish point of view, it also helps me to learn others do; I thought I was alone in the whole not liking my inner child or wanting to hug her etc. So often I read of people who seem to do this, and it is so alien to my experience. |
Thank-you tiger girl - I still find it weird, it wasn't something that I consciously planned it was just there.
Thanks for waht you have written, I hadn't thought about it like that. So maybe I need to respect that moment as private at the moment, maybe me and "her" aren't ready to share with T yet, maybe we need some further time to "bond / connect" before feeling able to share with T.
For me one of the strengths of this site, is reading what others have experienced - for me it makes my own thoguhts an dfeelings feel less weird. I can't say I still feel that warmth for "her" now, I have hated her so much that I would have willingly violently annihilate her, but at least now I know there is a possibility of having a different relationship with her.
Hope you are doing OK today TK - Soup
