Feeling heard - inner child needs from adult self & from therapy

[shimmerz]

Yes-if I “go there” will I come out.

This stuff is no joke. It just felt right to me to invite her in a place that I felt balanced.

I agree. The car is a real place it’s not imaginary I think I’m going to use the car is my safe place. I had my blanket I have a stuffed animal and I can lock the doors.

I can’t believe how crazy this inner child stuff makes me feel and confused

What does your inner child need from your adult self and from therapy to feel heard and not ignored?[...

To be loved and supported, just for being me.

No idea if this is helpful to you or if you can resonate at all.

This is amazingly helpful..... It makes me think I've been approaching this backwards...hmmmmm

I was surprised to hear someone else who felt "safe" in the car. I had always thought it was only me. But, now that you said it that way - I can see why. Safe - locked doors - ability to "get away" if needed. Even the "isolation" that I feel in it, is somehow … comforting.
