hi

i have found it better to just work with awareness and feelings and connection within myself and to the world, rather than trying to force memories. i figure the memories will come if and when they are ready. like they'll only come when they know i am ready to cope with them. until then, work is being done to help improve coping mechanisms and whatnot.

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.
