I felt like that for a long time in therapy. I think it just feels "safer" somehow to go and be an adult. It took a lot of time for me to let my guard down. Maybe just start by telling her the difference between how you feel when you're not there vs. how you feel when you are with her??
I remember a time when I started to feel REALLY sleepy in therapy so I laid down and kind of curled up on the couch. And *wham* I could FEEL that young part of me there, feeling so so so so safe. She felt safe WAY WAY before grown up me did. She LOVED T. I remember that session so well, because it was like I was somehow floating behind the couch (which is against the wall, but that's not how I remember it) watching. That was actually sort of the beginning of the crazy DID journey for me....but from reading posts about ego states, etc. I know DID isn't a pre-requisite for letting those young "selves" into the room. Maybe just pay attention and be aware of fleeting moments when you have those feelings in the room. Or try curling up on the couch
