I can love deeply but never really trust Im deserved to be loved...<br /><br />Im a high functioned woman...

In the case of sharing the nightmare though, it was with T and with partner and that is all. Sera has written it on the blog also (you've read it). She's also drawn it. The little one is 4...and pretty verbal. <BR/><BR/>WMedicoglia, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894674563874832457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-22155128970263768772008-01-11T23:36:00.000-08:002008-01-11T23:36:00.000-08:00fallen angels, I'm going to have to think about th...fallen angels, I'm going to have to think about this one with the little alter for a while. <BR/><BR/>Off the top of my head, I'd like "safe people" defined. Does that include T? Will she draw it? Or what if Sera draws it and gives it to the T to talk to the little about?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the really little alters don't have the words to tell so they have to share in whatever way they can, that can be giving those flashbacks to others. Sometimes it need to be particular others or many others before they can be healed.<BR/><BR/>As for the castle with me, I think it goes to the place where my programing was done but I, too, had noticed the similiarities and wondered about the connection. <BR/><BR/>april-optimist, thanks for speaking up. I think there are not as many differences between multiples and singletons as some tend to think. <BR/><BR/>I see friends who dissociate who are not multiple but use walls very effectively in very similiar ways, just not to the same degree. So it makes sense to me, that what I say might "feel" right to you. I think it is helpful for multiples to be able to see the similiarities.<BR/><BR/>kahless, if I haven't answered these with the future posts, I will do so at the end.<BR/><BR/>Lynn, I can understand why you would feel that way with the house. Let me know how it works out.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-71197519075609162872008-01-10T20:04:00.000-08:002008-01-10T20:04:00.000-08:00I am enjoying learning from you in these posts abo...I am enjoying learning from you in these posts about integration, RR. What I am going through is also integration of a sort. I need to integrate experiences instead of needing to keep them out. In some respects my walls sound a bit similar to yours. I also like how you describe the castle. I often dream of buildings. Mostly houses. I also have a bit of an unusual problem that I have been hesitant to blog about anymore because it has been going on for so long that I feel embarrassed about it. The old house that I moved out of is STILL empty. I moved more than two years ago. This house has become a metaphor for my body and my need to keep others out of it. Even though I understand that now, no sooner did I send a worker over there to prepare it to be rented -- the old eating stuff came back again. I need 'the body' to be empty. I sit here and sigh. I know how odd this sounds. <BR/><BR/>In front of me right now, are some papers I brought from the office. They are the papers I need to put the house in the multiple listing as a rental. We'll see. I'm already imagining tenants that will set off all my crap. Men tenants might do that. And so could... let's see... men tenants. And then there are... oh yeah, men tenants might make me feel weird. Did I mention men tenants could be triggering? I really need to get over this. Men are half of the freakin' population! But a strange man in my shower, walking barefoot on my carpet, touching my house? Ew. I smell an unintegrated experience.Spilling Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970126156464922867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-51335986394823213692008-01-10T11:52:00.000-08:002008-01-10T11:52:00.000-08:00Very informative series of posts as usual RR.Now y...Very informative series of posts as usual RR.<BR/>Now you are come out the otherside of your therapy does one main personality stay out most of the time or do you have agreements between alters for who is out for how long or ....? Or am I asking the wrong question but I guess you can understand what I am trying to ask?<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-56540672909771028102008-01-10T09:17:00.000-08:002008-01-10T09:17:00.000-08:00I hesitate to comment because I'm not multiple but...I hesitate to comment because I'm not multiple but neither do I want to ignore your posts. I honor the work you're doing and it "feels" right--what you're saying about integration being walls coming down between alters so that all of you is still there, just not so divided.April_optimisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264149241673287909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-43756606601331796872008-01-10T08:20:00.000-08:002008-01-10T08:20:00.000-08:00Rising...I have two questions...not about integrat...Rising...I have two questions...not about integration, but more about specific details in your post. <BR/><BR/>The first is...have you ever had an alter (very young in this case), who has been allowed her voice, is honored, loved and nurtured both internally and externally, has spent countless hours with T getting the same things; yet still does not relinquish her secret? I will clarify that...she has shared it with Sera in the form of nightmares and Sera has shared it externally with safe people, but this little one is still having flashbacks etc. I am thinking she Ilittle one) needs to share it with T, but I do not know how to facilitate this. Do you have any thoughts?<BR/><BR/>Second question is more personal... I noticed you referred to your internal castle. We also have a castle, JIP had a castle, two other SRA survivors I know have castles., Other survivors refer to houses, bungalows, mansions, etc. I have a theory that there is something in SRA programming that either intentionally or unintentionally leads the victim/survivor to create castles. Any thought?<BR/><BR/>WarrierMedicoglia, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894674563874832457noreply@blogger.com
