I still haven't talked to her. I truly don't know to say. Sure, the child me is screaming "Don't leave me", but adult me understands why she is. Child me is afraid she's abandoning me, but adult me knows she always comes back.
I'm jusy waiting to either hear from L or T because I don't know what to do!

I'm wondering if your child part(s) need reassurance that she'll come back, and that she won't suddenly get sick of you, or abruptly get tired about being a therapist.
Thinking aloud because those are/were some of my fears with my therapist. Some of these fears still remain, because as logical as adult you is, these aren't very amendable to logic.
That's despite me talking about my feelings, and some work done with my known child alter (who adores my T) in therapy. That's where I don't know what to say or do, so I can work on it in my therapy. I don't know how to go deeper on it, to heal whatever it is below.
There's other younger alters who don't like therapy, and I don't always have communication with them, so I come across very ambivalent at times!
