Yep, went to an overnight stay at a really lovely place. It was a gift to self/ves. Booked another time for future to look forward to. Will try to put a little toward it as am able.
Was a little afraid but someone said: "You're not going by yourself but with yourself". She does not know I am DDNOS. Chuckle. The beauty of the place and peace will stay with me for some time. There was a storm raging about us, wind howling, rain pelting the windows and waves crashing on the shore but we were safe, sequestered away in our lovely room with lights, heat and comfy cozy bed. Before that, there was a walk on the beach, gentle conversations around the fire place and a yummy turkey dinner with all the fixin's in the dining room. Next time maybe will kayak, canoe and bike! It definately was a shelter in the storm and we are grateful.

this is such a special thing you can do for self. very special and important. so very glad you did this. we do this sometimes, but have not for quite a long time now. thinking we should find a way to do so. is so very very helpful in building a relationship with self, taking time to care for parts, sharing wonderful moments with each other. also helps soothe the soul and brings peace. it sounds like you found some of that at your special retreat. sending you some warm and gentle wishes ~~~~~~~

"Too much" simply means exploration, not punishment/withdrawal. Trust in him.  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.

we went with daughter to her middle school church retreat and had the best time. the kids were so open, and it was a great place for us too...like you, hunny, we were safe inside our room while still having contact with the kids. i wouldnt trade the experience for anything. and we both came home with such a peace that is so good for us. hunny, im with you in treating yourself to a retreat from time to time. im of the opinion that a retreat from the world is necessary for all of us. im glad u could get away from the bustle of everyday life to treat yourself to such a wonderful thing!!!

: ) Elysium You know it! The wind cleared out our mind as we walked along the rocks by the waters edge. There was only room to be very watchful of our steps on the wet stones.
: ) Dinosaurs Sharing wonderful moments together with our parts that bring peace. How insightful and true. There was the drawings that some internals insisted we do and yet there were some that were reticent. But when done, we think we like them better than our photos! Hope you get your own soon too. : ) WPowers It was awesome, you included! : ) Thank you Manda for your happiness, it made us happy and only once did we really experience a feeling of sadness and that in itself was remarkable and it was when we knew we had to leave. : ) Anderson, from you kind and wise posts there is a realization that I amongst some very special people, here on pc. : ) Jewels, I can't believe it, (well, yes I can) but you got to go away too! How amazing! Yes, retreating from the everyday life of the world. It was rather magical to be so cozy and safe away from home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have it happen more frequently. There are a few things I can do to ensure that and hopefully you can make something similar happen again for you too. So happy for YOU, Jewels. Thanks for walking alongside in my 'joy' .
