taking back your power

[mosaic]

i so identify with what you are describing. it was that way for so long. for us it's a little better now -

a lot of my insiders did individual work with the t we had in colorado and it helped them to learn that the present has different "rules"... that doesn't mean they stopped responding as though it's back then and not now ... but they aren't as forceful and maybe that's because of the strength i gained in recognizing the present? i don't know.

i think i learned to do some acknowledging to them... to validate their fear/anger/hurt etc... so that they weren't experiencing everything as though they were on their own - sort of letting them know that i can handle life and take care of them... i don't think i'm expressing myself well enough here but don't know what other words to use.

a lot of it i guess is influenced by system structure level of coconsciousness etc as well. what worked for us may not work for someone else. as MDs so aptly say, YMMV.
