    EMDR stuff - Tonight while working with a young part in therapy I started to sing “baby mine” to it.

    Hello Friday, How does one start with a Trauma Diary? Dumbo and a lot of other Disneyfilms were the only safe place in my childhood. The analysis of Disney films by several renowned psy-people is astonishing. Love this.
