Horsewrek Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 In therapy I'm trying to bring the parts of myself together. T says I had to repress the different ages of myself due to trauma. I can't imagine or accept myself as a two-yr old, 6 year old, etc. When I drew a picture of myself at different ages all in one picture, I took it to therapy, but it's caused me to have really terrible anxiety, like a carrot-grater rubbing on my nerves. I can't stand to look at the pictures of me at 2 and 6, etc. Do any of you have this problem, and why do I feel such anxiety about it?

IrmaJean Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Possibly those parts of you were deeply hurt and traumatized in the past? To look at them might also mean revisiting your pain. I can understand why that could bring up feelings of anxiety. Are you able to listen to the part of you who can't look at you at age 2 and 6? Maybe it helps to know what her needs are first.
