((((((((((( genn and Gennoah ))))))))))))

I'll bet it can be really hard at times when Gennoah is angry and lashing out. I'm wondering if she is more active now because there is something she needs you to know?

Anger is very often used for protection, even in people who are not DID. I was an example of an angry person many years ago and it was all to keep people away. If I didn't let them close, they couldn't hurt me. It worked for a long time, until I almost lost my job on a couple of occasions because of my anger, until I realized that I had to face the reason for my anger and make some peace with it.

What helped me to calm my anger was to allow myself to feel it, to respond to it (safely), to validate it and from there I was able to work through it and begin to change my outlook and attitude about life and stuff.

Could it be that if you were able to connect with Gennoah and validate her anger, let her know that you realize she has a reason to be angry and that you thank her for trying to protect you and your system, that she may be able to calm a bit and be willing to work with you through those times when she is most angry?

I hope what I've said makes sense to you.
