Have you defined what the "it" is? It sounds like the "it" is to be held. Is it ever anything else? Like maybe the "it" is ice cream because of feeling sad.
Can you run a circle with your tribe? Or is that part of the "it" you want from her? Have you practiced running her circle or her imaginary circle?
The circles sound like what I was starting to do with things before T's vacation.
And I'm sorry if I am asking things previously shared or tried.
I started another thread because of this one and because of LT's stuff. It made me wonder how are we similar and different in what we've done with our child parts prior to therapy, what interventions were used, what worked, and what it looks like now for people.
