Hunny,

Thanks for your post. It sounds like you've come a long way.

I would be mortified if one of these "younger" parts emerged in session. Now there are some teenage/adult parts that have talked, but I don't feel threatened by this at all. In fact, as of recent, I've become very grateful for the job they do. My T would probably consider them jacka**es, but it's like I keep seeing more and more about the job they've been and are currently doing, and I'm just so happy they're so diligent at it.

The speechless ones, though, scare me. I would never want that to emerge in front of anyone, including T. I've only been experiencing it myself since last summer, and it's quite freightening. If someone were to walk up on me while one is out, they'd probably think I was having a seizure. The physical feelings during those moments are so intense; not in a good way.

Your post above implies that several emerge in session and talk together. How does this happen? Do they take turns, or did I understand you incorrectly?

Thanks again for sharing. It helps to validate my experience.
