I have DDNOS, and one of my parts (Rachel) has been telling me about abuse that I don't remember. However, it is very triggering for me and too overwhelming for me to talk about. Sometimes when things are hard to talk about, I write it down and bring it in for my therapist so I don't have to say it out loud. This is how she knows about the general nature of what Rachel says, but I am having a difficult time going in more depth. My therapist wanted me to try to find a way to compromise with Rachel and find a way to be able to talk about what she tells me without it being too overwhelming.

So I am interested in a few things, really. How do you compromise with parts/alters in general? And how do you approach talking about abuse when it is really overwhelming?
