Hi dear Edwin and Lidewij,
I've been thinking of you and our EC all week and wanting to write a bit about my experience and appreciation of the last call we had. It was so valuable and moving for me and I feel it is making a huge difference to my courage and confidence. I'm ready to take more part in the facilitating elements of the EC - maybe with a bit of a nudge!
There has been a shift in the relationships with the Critic part and I'm appreciating the contributions it is making and they are less harsh, because I am listening I guess.
I'm excited about the potential of this method of integrating part of ourselves which are in conflict within us. It's work I've been doing in a different way (mainly through a process called Active Imagination Journalling) and I see great value in this imaginative empathy as anther rich approach. Looking forward to more!
I wanted to write at more length but short is better than nothing! If you think it would be useful to know more I'm happy to answer questions about it.

Lidewij, sadly I haven't seen a window for us to talk this week, though I would really love to sometime!
Lots of love to you both and 'see' you Sunday am. The time has changed for you Edwin - I'm intending to be on at 7 am as usual but your time will be different I believe - 1 pm now. Lets discuss times over the next few weeks as there are three time relativities to traverse!
Warmly, Alice
