It makes perfect sense. I have oodles of parts of me that need his attention, and we really do have to take turns. It seems though that some part of me always leaves the session feeling unheard. A couple of times I have written out some of my inner dialogue about our competing needs, and that has helped "all of us" feel like we've gotten our dues.
I actually think the idea of a consultant to your rational side is a good idea. Your rational part would probably prefer to be on equal terms with him, a team if you will, and would be happy to have some discussions about how to deal with emotional Dinah. Maybe that could be the beginning of your session, and then the rest of the time could be for emotional Dinah. However, I'm not sure how you are self-hypnotizing, so I don't know if that is something that could be quickly or easily done in his presence once your rational side talked with him.
OK, here's hoping that I made some sense;)
