Accessing little me without the fear.

[Closeyclo]

Recently I have been having a lot of issues around being able to access the kid part of me, which is in control a lot of the time, without feeling intense amounts of fear Because of the fear I spend a long time trying to suppress little me instead of loving her. Recently a friend suggested to me to set aside 10 minutes, and talk about a made up world that little me would have liked and would have felt safe in. And I did, I sat with her while she was hugging me, and spoke for 10 minutes about an imaginary world with unicorns and fairies, and a rainbow sea that I sail on in a little red wooden boat. And in starting to create this world, I have created a safer place for little me to come out a little bit and in a way that is not so traumatic and painful for me to feel. I just think it was a great idea on my friends part, and I am looking forward to creating and discovering my new world.
