Today in funny Dr. T moments. I was starting to talk about how my child part is feeling, then added “though I know you don’t really work with parts stuff.” Dr. T: “well, I like fried chicken. That comes in parts.” I laughed and said, “Well, here’s what the wing thinks...” I know it was clear I was really stressed about the topic (fears with him going out of town again), so the humor helped. And I was able to share what I was feeling. Even saying how my child part feels like saying, “Don’t leave me!” (While adult part knows he deserves vacation). He accepted all that well. And said how I don’t need to say all the stuff about his deserving vacation. It helped to be able to talk about it.
