Honestly, Dinah, I fought like a cornered animal when my analyst first gently suggested that I had a dissociated childhood self. I was completely terrified of what the implications of that might be- would I fall into a heap of incoherent pieces? But it's becoming an amazing journey, though a hard one.
I've always assumed there's just *one* Dinah to show up, but that, at first, she didn't really want to show up at all. Now, she does want to, and she's developed a powerful bond with her T. For her, there was just *one* Dinah, who needed to make a healthy, strong connection- and she did it. Does this seem about right? (I'm getting all mixed up between pronouns, which I also do with my analyst-sorry!)
