Dear akc,
A long long time ago, I learned, through talk therapy with my pdoc, that I needed to love 'my child with in' I eventually visually saw me as the shy little girl, I was, next to me as a grown up woman, and the grown up woman gathered the little frightened girl up in her arms and gave her a big hug.
BTW I have a baked potato in the refridgerator, do you think I should put it on my couch?

scI revisit that vision when I am so sad.
> Just had a long talk on the phone. And wanted to post to clear up some misunderstandings I had on what she said. She did not say I just had to sit with these feelings. Instead, she says I need to learn how to give self-comfort as I am feeling this. Something that I have no idea of how to do. As giving comfort to a child. So I have to practice, living through this pain, hoping to God I don't snap in the meantime.
