and this chapter talks about the Dialogue with the adult self, but I am not so sure there is an "adult self" in the withdrawal stage.
Last night, I got a visual of me being ripped away from my Mom and crying and screaming. I was like WHOA, I'm 44, what was THAT about!
I think the children inside of us all screams when there is pain.
I mean, can one be adult during withdrawal?
