In wrapping up the depression that set in for Lily during the month of February, which was relieved by a bottle of oils (empowering her to provide herself a calming stimulant), Russ and I sorting through some rather tough stuff, some candid discussions with her about sympathetic symptoms and experiences – and differentiation between her and her mama, and an Inside Out marathon, she’s made the following videos.
Inside Out helped her to feel her sadness, accept it, allow it to come, and allow it to go. She likely has the movie memorized at this point… and has caused the primary 5 emotions depicted in the movie to come into tangible existence (see video).
She has identified and aligned herself with Sadness… and is still. But she’s functional again, for the most part, and so we’re moving forward. With the baby coming, there’s plenty of other stuff for her to sort through, so who knows what the next upgrade to her Emotion Panel will look like.
Feelings are my favorite! Great job giving them character voices and textures. Let’s watch the movie together. Soon!
