Oh Alan,
Such an insanely gorgeous post. I love the Pooh and Piglet image for the way it assures the reparenting of innocence in such a simple way. It reminds me that healing can be engaged in with childlike wonder and fun. One of the methods I developed to self-soothe is to imagine an archetypal Mother figure who holds me close and safe when needed.
I'm also profoundly reassured to hear that tuning into your body is an integral aspect of healing. I have long being troubled by suggestions that one should ignore the body. It went against every instinct and experience I have had in recovery. Thank you for utterly demolishing that nocebo.
