In reply to Parts coming out in therapy, posted by kerria on July 14, 2005, at 0:41:42
My guess would be that there is an element of safety in therapy that allows more than one part to be out at a time. They are competing for your therapist's attention as well as protecting some of you from the direct attention. It is hard to have the battle raging that only you can hear. And feeling fragmented is a horrible feeling.
I don't have DID, just some frozen age state separation and that is confusing enough. I'm still floored when I hear myself say things like a 6 year old. But I like cricket's suggestion of bargaining for therapy time with your parts. When I was really struggling, Dinah suggested this for me and it works pretty well. If I haven't let one part of me talk for awhile, my therapist will now sort of bring it up, wondering where that part went.
Hang in there. I hope you find some peace soon.
