I feel like I have a 7 and a 4 year old inside of me. The 7 year old grew stronger with time .If I was shopping at the supermarket I started asking her to pick what items she wanted, if it was a muffin or a lego set so be it. I started telling her that it was okay, that I loved her and that I was sorry. My parts are children so I try to treat them gently. I also read a lot to them. Simple books like Mr Men by Roger Hargreaves,Dr suess, Winnie the Pooh, Charlie and the chocolate factory etc. I've always written a lot, but I started writing messages to my therapist with my non dominant hand in my journal and this may sound silly, but usually before bed I spend five mins imagining a safe place for them too .
