I think all this is a little one-sided. I tend to present things in such a way.


************VERY BIG TRIGGER warning!!!!***********************
Pls be safe! TRIGGER......



In the woman's bundle is a dead baby. I experienced abuse as a baby, and I realized in my last session that the dead baby probably resulted from a part of me that Did Not Survive the abuse at that young an age. I think I have an easier time, in a weird way, of understanding the Death of that baby, and approaching that... than understanding the healing and safety that She brings.

T has thrown out a lot of thoughts about the baby/Her. Basically the idea is, though, that She represents a part of me that was sequestered away and kept safe from what would have killed me psychologically. (And frankly, could have killed me physically). T says it's time to take that back, so I can be healed and whole again. But I respond primarily to the dead baby. The woman represents that part of me that isn't lost, that didn't die, that Lives and Loves, and is fully and entirely alive and well. She holds the baby that died, loving, offering it to me.

I am having trouble with this.
