I have many young ones who have memories from when I was very young. One will come out just as we try to sleep. She is crying and filled with fear. All she does is say no no no over and over and over. I can hear her. My t suggested that maybe she should say "I am safe" instead of "no". So when she started to say no I asked her to say "I am safe", like we talked about in session. It calmed her down the first few times she said it. And a little later that night when she came out again, it helped her to sleep. Maybe if your little one said "I am safe" when she is feeling afraid, it will help her.
