Certain parts say they are in control of the library of my early childhood memories. The IFS model seems to be in agreement that certain parts are controlling.
I just do not know. I just do not seem to have direct access to any parts. I just become the part and become filled with all their emotions. My little ones that are full of trauma cause me the most problems. I can only access them when I am them. I can not just talk to them and get answers when I am not them. IFS calls it being blended with the part. So if I am not blended with the part then I can not communicate with it.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
