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.
