I'll be in DBT but will not seek out another T. Yes, what you wrote sounds like me! My T, using IFS has tried to get ME to comfort the baby and small child who didn't get what they needed from my Mom. She says my needs are probably preverbal. She wants my adult Self to learn how to soothe the baby. I've done that at times, and will have to do it more. My T always said I could visualize her being there too.
I'm curious. Is there a certain book or something online you're reading about attachment? Thanks!  |
I've done a lot of reading on attachment theory... something i'm very interested in because of my experiences. There is a ton of stuff online to read about it. I will try finding some good sites i've read from tomorrow but right now i must go to bed!
I think if you can read this stuff and begin to understand what you're going thru from an intellectual stand point 1st it helps to internalize it, normalize what you're feeling and eventually minimize your distress. (hopefully)
