Fronting adult was physically frozen in therapy and kid alter (coconscious) was doing her best to take over the body to help frozen fronting adult out.

T was asking "So who is here with me today?" (Groan --- we HATE that question - note to self, will have to tell her never to ask it again!)
Alter - physically frozen. No response.
T - are you an adult?
Nothing.
T - a child?
Nothing.


Silence.



More silence.



Crickets.

Kid alter, struggling as hard as she can, manages to take control of one arm. Flings it outwards.
Manages to take control of other arm. Flings that one outwards as well.
Kid alter laughs out loud at the absurdity of herself having control of the arms but not the rest of the body.
T, smiling - Ummm, are you an adult and a child?

Kid alter laughs some more and comes closer to the forefront to have more possession of the body, but is still greatly under the influence of the adult part.
T then proceeded to show us a grounding technique intended for the frozen adult part. Kid was able to use the body to begin it, then consciously handed it over to the adult, because it was for her. Adult completed it, then was less frozen and able to talk with T normally. Now adult has her very own grounding strategy to use on her own.

After therapy, kid alter bought a present for the adult - aromatherapy pulse point oil to reduce stress.
Kid alter is awesome.
Might have to go Christmas shopping to buy a present for her.

It's a good question, SS. So I'll ask it again: what is something one alter has done this week that was helpful or useful?
