Thank you Amandalouise. What you said and explained makes sense and kind of takes me to a picture that I witnessed being drawn a couple of weeks ago, during my session time.

It's not really an alter stepping in, I don't think, although something very different happened then. It's more like I am experiencing the feeling/emotion of a part of me. A part that experienced something it couldn't deal with or felt it was in extreme danger, and dissociated from. My visual memory shuts off, but it's like the emotional part of the memory is still playing out. It's kind of like that part, maybe, blends into what I am feeling.

It has happened with other parts that I have found, and it seems that I am "blended" with that part and feeling the emotions of that part, until a way is found to unburden it. It is just very different with a part that is so very young. It doesn't feel that there is understanding there, just the feeling of fear, anxiousness and not being wanted, welcomed or safety. Those are all feelings with no words or understanding to this a very little one.

Does that make sense? It's very hard to put into words.
