New Here
I had a very interesting experience today. I was in the kitchen with my attendant. We were discussing what I wanted for breakfast. I wanted a Joe's Special. My attendant is not from the U.S. She told me this would be too hard for her to cook. I found myself in my child part of myself. But not dysregulated and/or depressed. I found that from this child part of myself I could see things from her point of view. I decided on Eggs and Bacon for breakfast. I usually have them with avocado but my avocado's weren't ripe yet. By this point, I was back in my adult self. I had a wonderful breakfast.
I don't believe in pathologizing the child parts of ourselves. The child part should have it's own voice and be allowed agency along with the adult part. Neither part should of course should be dominate. I've also noticed myself in the child part of myself when I'm engaged in creative persuits such as writing, improvsing on my piano, and drawing. I guess you could say these are healthy parts of my child part.
I would love to know folks thoughts on this
