> I'm wondering if maybe the thing Rod was talking about would work. The one where the client pictures the child's fear and feelings of betrayl after one incident. Then you talk to the child, comforting her and telling her that her that she *is* loved over and over until she starts to feel calmer.

> It's something that sounds like it *should* work, or at least cause no harm.It also sounds a lot like the two-chair Gestalt technique. I used that last year with a variety of clients. Most all of them said in the end that despite how much they hated it (and they always groaned when I pulled out that third chair...) they thought that was one of the more helpful things we did.
At any rate, Shadows, I'm sorry you are remembering such scary and hurtful things. It must be absolutely terrifying.
Take gentle care,
