@fairyheart hello and welcome.

Grief and hurt for what "little you" experienced is very understandable especially after disregarding or suppressing what happened for so long. Do you have ongoing help and support for this?

Don't despair for your career, you may well go back to it. Give yourself time to heal and grow.

I've been going through EMDR for childhood trauma but have to have a break to deal with medical issues and I don't know if I'll be able to go back to it. It's been very intense and unsettling and yes - confronting.

Have you seen the Rabbit and Bear scenarios by Tara Shannon? The older wiser self can sometimes comfort and reassure the vulnerable younger self.

Take care
