it is so great to hear about the steps forward owlet has taken. it is real nice when a part can trust t enough to start talking. and i find different parts find different things comforting (like her scarf). it is so important to find what helps each individual part and use that to help soothe and care for the part. sounds like you are doing real good work.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
