Wow. All of this cuts right to the core

Wow. All of this cuts right to the core of the work I am doing with my inner kids (there's a five year old and a teen). I asked my T if we can color together at my session tomorrow cuz the little one wants to color and the teen has rules about it and is afraid of doing something wrong. I think the little lid part is healing faster than the teen. I am getting better at holding the little one but teens are complicated and I don't always know what to do when she is scared. This stuff is really hard work.
