Building a Safe Space

Searching

During the EMDR session after my inner child fought the shadow within me, see my post here, I found my inner child in the darkness. She was not afraid. She was searching for someone.

She was searching for herself.

As she looked around she was unsure she would find anything.

She got an idea!

Building

My inner child began running around gathering different material. I asked if she needed help. She wanted me to help her paint.

She told me she now owned this space and wanted to make it her own.

She built a small house and painted it blue. I painted the sky to look like a fiery red, pink and orange sunset. She retreated to her new home to rest. She was finally at peace.

Planting Flowers

I began experiencing anxiety and connected with her. She was planting flowers in her garden. She seemed at peace. She was even able to leave her space and was confident in herself and was not afraid anymore.
