inside your self well....usually a dissociative already knows how to contain/not feel things, how to shut out things that are too hard for them to handle.. so Im a bit surprised you dont know how to contain/prevent yourself from feeling. shutting off their feelings and other triggering things usually comes naturally to a dissociative.. thats how a person becomes DID to begin with...by shutting off /walling off/ separating what is too hard for them to handle....so Im kind of stuck on what to tell you that would not go against your treatment...
my suggestion talk with your therapist she will be able to explain to you what you need to do.

I switch when things become to hard to handle. And who ever shows up deals with what ever the issues are. That is how I dissociate. Each of my fragmented alters hold a specific memory and or emotion, so when I am having difficulty with fear I switch. The alter experiencing fear gets pushed back. This way I can function in the world. I have three alters who have complete personalities. They go to work, drive, make decisions etc. If one of my fragmented alters wants to be present, like at session, they come forward. But they bring with them their memories and emotions. The only way that I am aware of to stop from feeling extreme sadness, or fear, or anger is to switch to someone who doesn't have these feelings. That is how my system works. So when you or my t refer to "dissociating" as a method of containment I don't know how to do that since my method of containment are my alters. They contain the information emotions and body memories and that allows me to function in the world. And I don't know how to create an alter, They have always been with me. I have just always been this way.
