Hi Mary,
I totally understand where you are coming from about being frightened to reconnect with you inner child. I am too. I have been assessed for EMDR therapy and in another couple of visits with my psychologist will begin this process. I will be keeping people posted about my experiences in the PTSD forum.
Because in my childhood I was never nurtured I have to learn how to nurture and love myself. I find this scary, but it will be dealt with in a safe and caring environment.
I hope that you are able to connect with a counsellor that you feel safe with quickly. I found that when I first started going to counselling I was able to tell the truth about things that happened in the past - I realized that if I didn't that I was only cheating myself.
