Yes, it's a younger part because my T didn't let those parts talk today. They have in the past but the somatic experiencing is all about my body.
I spent the first half of the session talking about the DBT group and my H, so I was "adult" there. I have to remember how to comfort my own child parts. I forgot! I didn't use DBT skills yet either, except for one. Opposite action, I think it's called. I had somewhere to go after the session, and I didn't feel like going at all, but I did. I couldn't go to the lake, though. I chose something that was with a group of women near my house, not the lake. I am doing the butterfly hug--when I stop typing. T taught me that from the EMDR book.
Thanks for being here!
