It is hard to answer this when I'm not sure who she is talking to. So I would clarify that.
But, if she is trying to access your younger side, you should let an answer float up naturally. It is a little like free associating in your head. We've named my younger self because I was tired of the she-her-me struggle. But when my therapist asks what "little daisy" thinks of something, it is still startling. But invariably she answers him now. Or at least I hear her in my head, even if I don't let her talk. I think she wants to talk to "our" therapist as much as I do.
And, it is a way to access feelings that I might not even realize are just below the surface. But still, it does take some getting use to.
