Hi everyone,
Welcome to the Sara Tonin Center. We hope you will find much help and support here from other islanders. A lot of support comes through here. You will see that many islanders have been through similar experiences as you have, and are more than willing to share those experiences with you, as well as lend a hand to help you up. They can give you hope that, since t

When you're hurting..
And no one seems to care..And your group of friends spread lies to some one you love, And, some one really close to you lies, over and over again, but you cannot break away from them, even though they continue over and over to hurt you..What do you do, How do you stop it from happening? Should I just..tell her to leave me alone, to stop talking to me, even though I promised I'd be there for h

Disassociative Identity Disorder
I thought I would post about this as there's probably quite a large number of ageplayers and inner kids who have it including me (and my Dad who has been reading about it this evening - if you want the info http://www.mind.org.uk/help/diagnoses_and_conditions/dissociative_disorders.)
My therapist alerted me to it recently and it rang true, a lot of it. Apparently we are all on the disass

Terms of Endearment?
I have a question.
I see lots of people using the words Mommy and Daddy when they
are in these kinds of relationships.
I guess I'm sooo uncomfortable using those words.
I don't know why tho.
I even stopped calling my own parents mom and dad when I was
like 12
I kinda guess Its weird calling your parents by their first names

Ways to nurture yourself
What are some ways that you can learn to nurture youself when no one else is being there for you? And even more so what ways can you nurture yourself so that other people can be there for you in more effective ways?
I'm truly struggling right now and just need to see how other people handle things that for a very long time I've coasted by and let other people handle for

Looking towards a better path, with tons of smiles!
I don't expect any replies, but if you feel you want/need to, go ahead!
My childhood was terrible; my (biological) parents spent every day/night fighting, and my father's drunken-state opened so many problems that could have been easily missed. The verbal and physical (what little I witnessed) abuse led me to flee into my room and cry all night long. My father went to jail a

Inner Kid support network
I don't know if one of these exists any more, on chat rooms or messenger at all, but it would be good to restart one. THe reason I say this is there seems to be have a lot of similar problems and fears that we go through ie. toxic shame, lostness, desire to self harm in some cases and what I call disturbances of the mind. Maybe the best thing we can do is offer a friendly caring ear on messen

Are you Man enough? I’m not sure I am
In this post I want to make it clear that I’m not saying that it’s harder being an
Inner Kid from one gender or another. I guess I’m just feeling a bit under pressure
at the moment.
I wrote a post a little while ago whining that my job was causing me a lot of stress.
And it was Mr Justin who suggested that I should be using my time coping to find a
new job.

Some Ageplay Concepts
Just some concepts I wanted to throw around and see how they stick (kinda like spaghetti)
If they need more cooking tell me. I'd love this to become a bit of a discussion
Just some observations....
From what in my small time here and elsewhere I've noticed some fundamentals in age play
that come back again and again.. Call them archetypes if you

Finding myself
I decided to make myself a book about the the different things I am but I'm not sure how to do it, never done scrapbooking or anything, and really don't know where to start. I feel like I need a guide because it seems to be confusing. Should I make myself lists about things I like?

Separation Anxiety :(
I don't know how common it is, but it's really ruining my life. Whenever i have to leave Him, even if just for a night, it hurts so badly. Now He has to go away for a week for work and I basically feel like I will never see Him again. He gave me his shirt to sleep with, but I am afraid my anxiety over us being apart is going to inevitably ruin everything. I miss Him so much that I just b

Accepting My Little
I am having a hard time accepting my little as part of my life. I was wondering weather others have had this challenge. I don't have a hard time letting out my little here but as soon as I am in the real world I find I feel ashamed of her and I don't want to talk with her. We are not very good friends and I feel that we would both be a lot happier if we were better friends.[/

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)
Hey everyone,
I don't know if I'm putting this in the right spot. It seems out of place here
among the threads about cookies and stuff, but I couldn't find a better place.
I wanted to ask if anyone here has ever undergone EMDR therapy. It's a form
of treatment that is supposed to alleviate post traumatic stress and to make

You Hurt Me
So, you had to look up your ex-girlfriend? Had to? Haven't talked to her in 3 years and you had to look her up to tell her how great things are and sign off by saying I love you, Always have? Why? Is that healthy do you think? If I hadn't found out about it, would it have gone further? Like say lunch? dinner? What else?&n

something to remember
The following lists indicators that you can use to gauge whether you are being subjected to emotional abuse:
* You understand their feelings, but they never attempt to understand yours
* They dismiss your difficulties or issues as unimportant or an overreaction
* Your feelings are consistently

love hurts
love hurts, and then you die. Another Man who seemed to promise He could be good for me didn't have the patience to stick it out and couldn't seperate fantasy from reality. What kind of a guide model is that?
Maybe there's a way I can cut out my heart and destroy it because all it causes is pain. I know I was only in a proper relationship with Him a short while but it hurts. A

How do I re-join Island-life?
The title is my main question. After having taken a (year-long) break from the Island, how do you rejoin with confidence? How do you find your place again?
Knowing that your family has understandably moved on, where do you go? How do you even begin to re-insert yourself into Island-life?
Here's what I've tried so far: 1) getting in contact with people I used to know
