It doesn't mean that needs were unmet, though. So it seems like a child part of me can be jealous of my T without it being about my past. I think we're in agreement, basically.

But didnh't she try to explain the "parts" system that if you want to ice-cream but want to be skinny at the same time, it's in fact your child part wanting icecream and adult part wanting to be skinny?
That sounds very far-fetched and stretching it.
But to be honest, I dislike the whole concept of "inner child" and it is on my list "what is wrong with today's society" (because it seems to be so.... enabling, pampering... and only for those who can "afford" it).
I don't know, maybe you are talking real problems in therapy instead of therapy-created problems. I honestly hope so.
Anyways, in the bipolar forum I often said that if the mainstream thing of meds and therapy does not work you, as it doesn't work for many, one needs to be hella resourceful.... What other things have you tried to deal with your stuff? Do you have any means of channeling the emotions, any person to talk to, religion to comfort you, activities to help you truly unwind and/or make you feel worthy.... ?
