Is there a little room?
 

Does RYL have a little room?
Like a place to act little and be treated little with the same sort of idea as the safe room?

As far as I'm aware, it's simply the Safe Room for that. It is in the Abuse and Bullying support forum, because having part of the self frozen in a childhood state is common in survivors of any kind of abuse [and indeed trauma of any kind]. Personally, to have it also in another area I don't think would be suitable. Acting little can be counter-productive to recovery, whereas being stuck at times of dissociative flashbacks etc in a walled off childhood state and really feeling that age is different - but needs to be carefully handled. Any good therapist takes care to understand those feelings and attend to them in a reparative and healing way, but takes care to ensure the person doesn't identify that as all of them or overly romanticise that in any way.
Our inner children/child alters need a safe, containing, understanding place. The Safe Room provides that. The wider RYL community might not always be accepting our understanding of such vulnerable etc states.
