Ok. So I'm getting in touch with my alters and connecting with their feelings. That's good. Only it feels like I'm becoming more unstable, and like now I have less control than before over choosing my actions to do what I need to do. I think maybe the kid parts are coming forward more than they did before and there's a lot more of I don't wanna!!! I didn't ever hear them before and getting into this argument over whether or not to do my job at work is really scarey. I know in my head that this will be temporary - I just don't want to get fired before that. For those who have been dealing with this for a while - is this how it goes? I'm trying to take the role of the loving, functional parent and encourage them to make good choices, but there is too much piss off and they don't want to be told what to do any more. Suggestions?
