The more I get in touch with my child parts, the younger I feel. it frightens me because I therefore feel more childlike needs. Like nuturing and care of a parent what I've never had.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm feeling the same kind of thing, and it is scary for me as well. I've spent my life trying to be strong, and now I'm feeling more and more vulnerable.

The other day I was waking up and had the urge to start crying so that someone would come and pick me up. I haven't felt that probably since I was a toddler.

Becoming more aware of other parts is progress, but sometimes this kind of progress is scary.

Only in the past few weeks have I gotten to the same point. I asked the child what she wanted. She told me. But never having nurture from my parents I have no idea what to do. I am trying to support her the best I can. I know its going to take time.
