ANGER

[The People]

Hi Emma. We go through this with Alexa. She holds our anger. Bit by bit we are getting to see what is underneath it but it is protection mode.

Some social workers can be asses. Knew some through my work years ago and they needed more help than we did; or our clients. So glad we never had to deal with them for own help as kicking them in the shins would have been tempting.

2 Thoughts.: Our T gave us a new book. It has mandalas in it. If you like to colour perhaps you could find some online and print them off. I remember someone used to find some here and paste the link. We find them to be helpful as each bit is so small and we have to focus so theydo what they are supposed to do.

Also, what if you wrote a note to the Social Worker. Do you remember why she was calling? Checking in? An issue to deal with? does she know about being multiple? Perhaps a written note could clarify things better and explain that you had just come from a rough T and timing was off. Or if she truly is an *ss write a clear letter with examples of why, stating that you feel that it would be better for your mental health if you had a different social worker.

As MD said and I have been told since I was very young (by one of my mother's alters) it is not what I say it is how I say it. We all have a right to our opinions. However, swear words mixed in sort of smudge the message. Good luck in sorting things out.
