I agree completely that nurturing (imaginal and otherwise
) is a very important part of healing and can produce wonderful results.
I especially like this comment:
>>Also, part of this "breaking" my self into pieces is helping to show that the "uncared for self" is not the "whole-self", but just a part...and that I can be "salvaged". <<
Neat
The thing is even the idea of potentially receiving nurturing can be very destabilizing for some and at times may need to be approached in bits and pieces. I
think Imaginal Nurturing as taught by April Steele does allow for this gradual approach as needed, but I don't know a lot about it yet.
Thanks for your feedback.
