Yes, I often work through and feel much younger when I am with T. In fact part of our rupture was the feeling that she forgot that "I was 5". It was kind of the concept that at 5 a lot of parents expect their kids to be "little adults" in many ways; while at 5 the kid really doesn't understand much - or maybe in the same way a 50 yr old adult understands something.

Whenever certain things happen, I revert back to that place/feeling. Sometimes its a feeling of unsafe or vulnerable. Sometimes it's playful and silly; and maybe even spontaneous.

I agree with Lostislost in giving yourself permission to be your authentic self.
