sure did. Its impossible to kill them off, force them away and so on but if you are going into your memory states during therapy your therapist can help set the problems you are having straight by explaining to you while you are in those states what to do instead of what you are doing while in those memory states. For example I would become aware and find that while in a memory state I had cut myself. It took some time but finally through elimination my therapist figured out which memory state I was in when I cut unaware. She said after she figured out which one it was she told them among other things that she was afraid I would cut too deep and end up in the hospital er resulting in involluntary committment which would result in termination of my parental rights by the DHS case worker. Which of course would shut off the visitation plans that everyone on the case is working towards. She asked (and recieved) a strong promise that no more cutting without talking to her first. Once my therapist did this I noticed that me becoming aware and being cut slowed down and now my cutting while unaware is rare. It still happens but I can now go months before it happening whereas before it happened on a daily basis sometimes more than once a day. Hang in there it does get better.
