Thank you for talking to me.

I think I've almost decided to buy another one. A girl can never have too many happy dinosaurs, right? I've thought that if I bought a new one and the original turned up, I'd then have one to carry around and one can stand guard over my safe place at home and welcome me in whenever I need it.

I think I'm more worried about what would happen if I lost my sad dinosaur. It would be so devastating for that part to be rejected, discarded, invisible, dismissed, ignored again. I don't think that one could be so easily replaced.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
