Perhaps you could "talk to your head". Ask outloud questions about why anyone has trouble with this essay or with writing. Then listen or be open to listening to the thoughts that may pop up in your mind. Sometimes I get an answer pretty fast and other times I get ignored and that leads to new questions "why are you ignoring me?" "is there something going on inside that is messing things up". I just keep asking myself what is going on until I finally get some input from my alts. I also keep my questions from being really aggressive or angry. It is not helpful to attack any alts for behaviors. The more I nurture inside and treat them kindly the more my inside family is free to live and not sabotage our life.
