i have decided to try guided imagery to see if it can help improve communication with the others as the ability to now is feeling nonexistent, and things have been very difficult for me as a result. my hope is that it can help (and not make things worse) so that whoever wants to talk can talk and in return start to heal. i feel so much of their pain, fear, sadness, etc. and a mix of a lot of things and at the same time dissociate for a bit almost daily which is also seeming to change and get more severe to the point it feels like i am almost 100% gone or going to pass out or something.

it has felt like i am a hostage among it all and really is scary and confusing and causing a lot of difficulties for me.

i don't remember it like that in childhood which makes sense why i wouldn't...and i always wondered how it might have been then. now, i get it and know just how bad it was and how it did protect me.

i was wondering if anyone has used guided imagery to help with communication with their system and what it was like. did it work the first time or take a few times? did it work at all?
