I'm thinking some inner child work here? That girl needs to speak in therapy and it would be great if you could learn to love her.  |
Sannah,
I don't think I am bad because I dissociate. I think I am bad because I am needy. I think I am bad because I react strongly to fears of abandonment, I think I am bad because I have difficult relationships.
I call a part of me child-like, and I know and feel that I have some distinct self-states that have their own characteristics. But I don't define myself as having DID. The child-like state is like my needy state, I guess. I don't like to own the emotion, but I don't see it as a split off child alter.
I do need to love my parts, it isn't an easy task, though. It's very annoying to be BPD. I think I get dissociative when I am really stressed, which now is most of the time. Thanks for your reply.
