Went to group therapy last night.  We did some inner child work. It was really hard work.  With inner child work, she had us draw a picture of ourselves using our left hand.  It was easier said than done.  Then we were to hold a conversation with our inner child.  Our adult self asking the question with our right hand, and our inner child answering with our left hand.  It was quite the experience.  I really have to build up some trust with this inner child which again is easier said than done. 

While I was discussing some things with my inner child I was reminded of my favorite hiding place as a child.  I would hide in the dryer.  I remember one day my Grandpa coming to visit.  He proceeded to show me what would happen if someone turned on the dryer if I was in there I would get burned.  I never hid in the dryer after that.  I was also reminded of my "baby blanket".  I lost it when I was little.  My parents tried to get me a blanket to replace it, but it wasn't the same.  The replacement was scratchy where my other blanket was soft.  I also remembered snuggling with my favorite little lamb.  It was something that I cherished.  To be honest, I went right out after my session last night to find me a lamb to hopefully help my inner child heal from her past.

I was called to meet with the Stake President tonight.  I am a little nervous.  I am not sure what to expect.

I asked my therapist on Saturday if he was OK with me texting him because I do tend to text him on a daily basis.  He said it was fine.  He doesn't respond but we do discuss my texts in our next session which is fine too.  My therapist is a good man.  We always talk gospel principles, which I love because I need to have the Gospel in my life.  I need to know how things relate, and I need to know that I am going to come to know my Savior on a very personal level.
