Yeah, this. This is so painful to me too. I know I want, on a really deep level, to go back and do my whole childhood over again with T as my parent.

It was really powerful, they were kind of like visualization techniques. I don't know--he just suggested I do certain things, at first when we were doing EMDR on childhood trauma, and I found that I could do the visualizations and rescues that he pointed me towards. It was so healing.... Mouse, earthmama, might something like this be helpful to you too?
