Have your T send me a bill! That really helped. At this point in my therapy, it doesn't seem possible for any of "us" to be attached, but I have to give myself credit for trying. The problem is that after each session, there is some sort of let down because not all the parts can have their say, so part of me always leaves disappointed. And then there is this cynical adult who self-berates after each session so the younger parts get abused all over again. My T is doing some great visualizations to help protect the younger parts from the adult me in which he is there to protect and advocate for the little girl.
I think he enjoys it a bit too much since he's not very fond of my cynical, critical side and likes the excuse to fight with her;)
Sometimes I hesitate as I write about this because it all sounds so *strange*. But it certainly gives a sound reason and a vocabulary to what was once just overwhelming turmoil in my head as all the sides clammored to get their way.
Still, I am easily discouraged, and my T will be gone next week. Waaaahhhh!!!!
