she could have asked you that for many reasons a few of those reasons may be
to find out how much co consciousness you have among you and the alters, no co consciousness means you dont know anything about your alters and system, some means you know a bit about you, the abuse you went through and your system and alters. Alot could possibly mean you are totally coconscious and ready to work on developing plans and goals on how to get all of you to work together as one team.
could be she recognized you were switching so was trying to figure out which alters were who based on your descriptions so that next time she can help all of you better.
She could have been trying to see just how far along you are in your healing process based on how much you know about yourself, the alters and how your particular system of alters are set up, so that you all could start setting treatment goals that will take you and her into areas that are not repeating the work that you have already done, accomplished and moved past.
and she could have been giving you the oral psyvchiatric evaluation for dissociative disorders to see where you are on the dissociation scales.
I can think of lots more reasons why she would ask about you, your alters and asking you to describe them, your systems inner workings and your interactions with them, but only your Therapist can tell you why she did it.
