Do you think it's possible for a person to have co-conscious DID and yet not lose time and be high-functioning enough and self-controlled enough to keep it completely hidden from others?

Based on personal experience I believe it's very possible. To me co-consciousness felt like I was sitting in the backseat while someone else got to "drive" the body. There are people who've known me since before I integrated who never caught on that there was more than one of me in my body. And, yup, I was high functioning...graduated from college and ran my own business for years.

I agree with your T about figuring out what your various parts need and feel. The question of integration is
very individual. Don't let her push you into integrating if that isn't what you and your inner family want. You might have noticed I said I've integrated, but that's not the answer for everyone. You do what's right for you.
