I'm personally really skeptical of it. I guess if it works for some people, okay, but I feel like it splits a person further than where they are (or so it feels when I read about people's experiences). I see myself as just me - an accumulation of experiences up to this point. I am wholly me. There is no "child me" within me. There is just and only me and I am an adult. If I feel frightened or insecure about something, it's an emotion I am experiencing and it's giving me information.

Idk. I experienced what I experienced and those experiences conditioned my current responses. So, I accept what happened and I look to changing my responses through the learning of healthy skills - learn and practice, practice, practice.
