(((((((Kj))))))) I sleep with my teddy bear "Bella" whenever I am sad & need extra safe snuggling. My H knows that when I am holding her, I am extra fragile emotionally. My kids think it's perfectly normal to have a lovie as a grown woman.
It's symbolic of course. Our teddy or dolly is the inner child in us. When we hold & cuddle that teddy we are holding & cuddling our own inner identity seed. The one God created. The one we were meant to be before our identity was crushed, before we were shamed, or hurt, or neglected, or even guilt tripped by loving caring parents.
Even the best intention parents screw up their kids slightly. It's how we all grow & heal & find the real us.
What's your teddies name ?
Love ya
