ECHOES, thanks for sharing about your little girl. The image of her in the white dress with head on T's lap was wonderful.

If she shows up in therapy with you, there is a reason. I am so glad you are acknowledging her presence.

When I first began with my current T, one of my little girl ego states was very prominent. I had dreams of her coming with me to therapy, and sometimes she came there with me in real life too. T would ask me what she was doing. Or saying. And then I would report back to him what she said. Or he would have me ask her certain things. It was like a 3 way conversation, but it all went through me (the adult me). I also learned to rescue her when she needed help.

Therapy can be amazing. I feel happy for you that you are so connected with your little girl. (((hugs)))
