Hey there mad little pixie! You are VERY important! I know you have feelings and ideas that you want to talk about. I have a part named Kitten. She is 4 years old. She likes stuffed animals especially monkeys. She knows everything that goes on inside and she is very smart. I love her a lot. There are gown-ups who care a lot about little pixies!

***************************
I never was able to communicate with the really young alters, the ones under 4. Only my T got to know them at all. Lily was the watcher/keeper of them and my T worked with them through her a lot. They had to learn that what they kept replaying/flashing back to was over, it was in the far away time and they were now safe. They had to come to believe that the threats wouldn't really happen. (that was the most difficult) There was a huge spiritual aspect I won't go into as it might trigger others.

But I didn't have much to do with their healing. I knew they were there and was willing to allow them as many of my sessions as they needed. I learned it wasn't just me who needed t. In fact I could only make real headway once they found healing and integrated. Lily was a strong alter and kept them from surfacing outside of t.

I was in intensive t sometimes 4 hours a week for nine long years. I stopped fighting and accepted the process within the first six months so I didn't waste a whole lot of that time in denial or fighting the process. It was the traumatized alters who needed the t more than me and I allowed that happen. As long as they were traumatized I could not find any peace or healing for myself. It was all about them for a long, long time.

I encourage you to give permission for it to take as long as it takes. I never ask for patience but acceptance is the key for me. Accept the process, embrace it. It will lead to peace.
