I'm sorry you are in this place in your life. Your T CAN assist you, greatly in fact, when you are ready. It's been found that there is always some part that becomes an organizer, or who knows everything about your "system." You and your T need to agree to some way that the T can ask or be told WHO is speaking and feeling at the time... often just a simple Hi from a "new" part being out is enough... the T can begin to put together the aspects of each part of you that way...

You can have your own system map, if it's currently allowed by your system. I think many with DID find having a myriad of writing and coloring tools and paper has helped them communicate with their other parts. Journaling is another good way. Be sure that you make it clear - to yourselves- that anyone who , say, writes in this particular journal or uses this particular paper can say or write or draw ANYTHING and no one else will destroy it or laugh at it or something to that effect. This will help those parts of you who might not feel safe now, feel ok with sharing.

Remember, singletons also have parts... the difference is the communication and sense of continuity between our "aspects" that we have that those with DID don't have automatically. Therapy can build that communication bridge. tc
