As for "if someone suddenly appeared,"....well, we don't know. The
bottom line is that the reality of the outside is very different from
the magical thinking that created our innerworld. We miss the feeling
of safety and disengagement that the innerworld provided.
There's
so much raw emotional pain within us, and we're stuck in those feelings
because we haven't found the outside support to nurture us enough to
process those feelings from an emotional standpoint. Nature abhors a
vacuum. We need good feelings to take the place of the painful ones,
and we have nobody other than our T to help us create those good
feelings.
Last night we emailed a good friend who used to work
with us. She's one of the few 3D friends who know that we're multiple.
We arranged to speak by phone tomorrow evening and catch up. I really
hope it helps.
One last thing. I'm strongly conflicted about the
fact that the five adults in our system (Deborah, Drew, Mary, Rachel,
and me) have the most difficulty in dealing with external reality and
the responsibilities that come with it. It adds so many layers and
complexities to our difficulty in healing.
