In reply to Safe Places for Inner Children, posted by Poet on March 27, 2004, at 14:39:00
Wow, Poet, your room sounds so great. Everything I'm reading says you should develop a safe place for yourself so you can go there when things are intense. Will you be willing to let anyone in with you? And I suggest pillows on the floor if at all possible.
So far my inner child only feels really safe in my Therapist's office but my own office is getting there. I have one of those highly personalized work spaces, surrounded by things I love, pictures on the wall and plants. I even have a couch in my office and a tree out my window. It doesn't hurt that there is a large playroom down the hall from me either. The interesting part is that "she" is only safe when the building is empty and it is the quiet space just after closing when I'm still here (I'm here now).
Good luck with your room. I want to hear more.
