The way my T and I talk about it doesn't involve naming, exactly. When I get triggered, I might say something like, "part of me is scared I'm in trouble, but another part of me knows I'm safe and you aren't mad." T will say, "the part that thinks you're in trouble, what's that feel like? And the part that knows you're not, what's that feel like?" So I get sort of a dialogue going to understand both perspectives.

It has helped me so that when I get triggered at home, I can do the same thing and soothe myself (somewhat).
Thanks for this!
