Honestly, it's probably for the best! It's way easier, I think, to build a better relationship without the "AAAAH BEARS" looming.
How did you find your headspace thawing? Was that something you undertook intentionally, or did it happen naturally over time?
It required years of pretty intense work, honestly, but we had a LOT needing doing. First there was working on triggers and more immediate traumas, building a sense of internal community and communication, and then when we could afford to, embarking on deeper memory work. Fortunately, probably most people don't need quite that much effort. (At least, we HOPE not!)
We didn't set out on THAWING the headspace specifically, but it was a natural consequence of the work we were doing, and certainly appreciated! If you like, we have some of that on our access filters, if you'd like in on that!
