Just wanted to share something that I found on my own this time - had not read about this in a book yet or had T tell me to try it. But I think it has lead to a HUGE breakthrough.

Yesterday I as the adult host decided to tell my angry teen alter Mick that she was NOT responsible for anything "wrong" she did in the past. I told her that I was taking all the responsibility for all the past actions.

Now the adult me knows that I was in very abusive situations where what was done was not my fault. But at the time, the teen me who is still in the alter Mick felt it was our fault. I as host was dissociating and so "she" was the part of me who did the things that happened or had things happen to her.

Somehow, by doing this simple thing, it has caused the greatest sense of internal relief! Mick was literally shocked and said "Really?"
I told her that the truth was I was the one there - even if it was her personality. So I had every right to accept the pain she carried thinking the events were her fault. The adult me knows where the true blame lays in those events and it is not with me. But I could not get my teen alter to understand that adult point of view.

Wanted to share this so if others want to consider it, it may help.
