Dinah, I appreciate your caution here.I have been extremely skeptical, and watchful of her, trust me. Just this morning, in fact I went back to my old journal from years ago, way before seeing the T, in which I clearly had a conversation with younger age states of myself, before I had any clue that such a thing could happen. Now looking back, it makes perfect sense like never before, as I have gotten to know my parts, and I can see which are speaking when. So this all clearly pre-exists her. Plus I don't know who would make up regressing to an infant state, and its not something she ever explained could happen...
I found out people call and travel from distant states wanting to see her. She is a sort of unofficial expert. But I don't believe anything she says unless just because she says it. I don't always agree with her. Thankfully, she lets me draw my own conclusions. She sees me for free, so I take it! Her best quality is unconditional love and not being wierded out/offended by anything.
> It's possible to think of them as feeling states with goals and feelings separate from that of most of you without being rigid as to their "reality" as separate entities.I completely agree. To be honest, I wish they were more rigid, so I could trust them more. I can see how my assumptions seem to come out in what they say. This is why I am reluctant to "speak from them" as if they fully have a presence and mind of their own.
