Do you mean a racing heartbeat, trembling, sweating, sexual arousal? Yes to all, I admit.
You made such a good point. We did, somehow, grow into good, competent women, and it's not reasonable to have such negative feelings towards those innocent little girls we once were- I think that's a big part of the illness to work on. Like you, I know I'll feel so much better when I truly can accept and love them. It's definitely better, but not all there yet. When I first realized how real my 6 year old was, and how awful she felt, I practically yelled at my analyst, "let's get RID of her!" I've come a long way since then, but it has become a sort of tender joke between us- he will quote me at times to remind me about the progress I've made. I do love how humorous and humane he has remained in the face of all the stress of the last two years. I know yours has too.
