> Hi Muffled, gestalt therapy or gestalt techniques are really good for this, talking to our "parts" "ego states" whatever. Maybe your T can try some with you? How would you feel if you were the one doing the talking to these parts in front of your T? You could say whatever you wanted and they could say whatever back to you. Do you think you could do this ? That way it's not like your T is talking to them (if you are nervous about that). I must say, I felt completely stupid doing this at first. Talking to a "part". But hey, it answered me.LOL.
**My parts are not so clear that i can have a conversation with them in front of T, though its a good thot.I can scarecely talk to T myself!!! I can ask them stuff and sometimes get answers. Sometimes they will talk and then just completely shut up and there's nothing I can do to get them to come back. Also younguns are EXTREEMLY super shy. T one time asked questions and I then asked the kid (non verbally), and the kid would tell me, and then I would tell T. But then kid got upset and I dissociated and that was then end of that!

> I figured it was my dime and my time so why not get the most out of it and at least give it a try. It did help. Especially because these are just different aspects of ourselves and our subconscious and when you hear what your subconscious has to say, it's often quite interesting. And your T will absolutely NOT think you are weird or be frightened, or whatever. Imagine, a therapist actually invented the technique of talking to "parts" - so how weird is that!!

**Yeah, I am to the point that I just am tired of this too.
Its expensive. I understand that my people are different aspects of me. I am not sure they subconscious though, but who knows. They are who they are. I may deny them, but I don't diss them anymore, so thats good.
Thanks for encouragement. Guess my T has seen plenty of stuff in her time....and she tough.
Thanks, nice to hear from you canadagirl, and I hope you doing OK.
