Question About Disociation And The Little Me?

[CraftyCath]

Thanks Heliepig!

You seem to have me sussed as I always try to work things out, rationalize it and try way too hard!

I'll have to learn this 'letting go' thing, I'm not very good at it! But I want to heal so I will have to go through it. I agree, I have already survived so maybe I shouldn't go in there waving my sword around quite so much (mentally striving)! I'm a real fighter and that's why I survived but maybe I'm fighting what I need to except instead of just letting go.

Thanks again Heliepig!

My therapist said "Just Be Curious" so often it became a kind of mantra.

You might try pointing your therapist to the IFS site although some don't like webstuff-but it might help because there are buzzwords from psychology like Object Relations or some such.

What's cool about it is the guy (Schwartz) behind it didn't so much create the therapy methods as discover them. His stories include his own feelings and struggles with being a therapist and give a really interesting perspective on what it is like to be a therapist.

I get a bit confused cause my Psych's last name is "Shultz" so I started calling him Dr Frank so I wouldn't get them mixed up! Ya gotta love a guy who's got a ponytail and advises you on the best incense for grounding. I have been so lucky.
