I don't really know how to call mine up- it's only recently I've been aware that when something triggers me so that I react in a really over-the-top way... either angrily or defensively, I realise that it's her. Being frightened and lashing out.
I've started trying to sooth her by telling her and myself that it's ok... she doesn't trust me, though.
I've done quite deep meditations where I've tried to communicate with her, but she is very wary- to her, I'm just another adult who has hurt her. She is pretty much split off- she stays in a place most of the time where she felt safe when I was a child, and she doesn't like me to approach her.
I don't think I would have any luck calling her up for a session, either... I wouldn't have been able to share anything like that with my ex-T, :-0 !
