(((MG)))) My advice is to create a safe room in your system, some type of a conference room or a play room. Have the alters all come together in that place and have them find a friend with one of the other alters. It works better if it is a stronger alter with a child alter or that type of counter balance. Then have the teams come up with a plan on what they will do when the system is going through the surgery. How will the older or stronger alter take care of the younger alter? How will the younger alter let the older alter know if they become afraid?

This type of partnership internally can really help in many situations :-)
