I think you did a really good job

I mean, you tested the waters a bit by pushing a little, but you also listened and backed down when the alters really needed it.
I understand about feeling like you want to praise yourself, but at the same time not wanting to because of the way the alters feel. I suppose it is sort of like tough love in a way....sort of. I mean, they won't get over some of the things that are hard without some sort of testing....if that makes sense. I mean, you don't want to push the triggers, but you don't want to sit back and let their fears and uncomfortable feelings rule everything, either.
K, I am kind of rambling, but I hope you understand what I mean...I'm listening!
