From my journal for October 8:
Reading my blog post for February 2015, “Deep Work,” work I did over quite a period of time, January 11 to February 14. It was an attempt to get in touch with a very young part of myself. I wanted to help this very young part begin to feel safe and connected with me — my adult self. I did a whole series of related drawings. Reading it now, I am astonished at my persistence and willingness to feel a lot of pain. This is what it takes to heal from early trauma.
In the pictures, the part first appears as a blob, perhaps spherical, a single cell, and then gradually morphs into a recognizable baby, which is then held and comforted by a pair of hands.
