I'm really not sure... That I ever want to go there (with respect to him meeting them). I mean... If it happens spontaneously then can't be helped but I think I have reasonable control over switching in sessions and it is simply something that I'm not prepared to do if at all possible.

Hey, I so know what you mean. My T has yet to meet any of mine. Not that I don't trust her, but I have always had to maintain "control". They only come out at home.

What I want... Is that when I get the urge to switch... I ask myself 'why? what do they want to say / do?' If I can figure that out then... I won't need to switch. That is my hope. I want to do things that way. Make me larger so there isn't a role for them.

That makes sense. I don't think I have met anyone who didn't want the same. That would be great and maybe someday that will be an option?!

I guess I was happy to talk about them to start with. Was happy to do the map. Mostly clinician's in the past simply ignored the issue. I was grateful that he kept saying that it was okay if they did want to say something and I was grateful that he took an interest in them.

But... I guess he has established that now.

And now... I just want some time to get to know him myself. I want to feel like it is okay if I want to say something and I want to feel like he takes an interest in me.

Thanks.

Well, you have to remember that they ARE a part of you. It took me a while to realize that.
Those little parts of you hold an immense amount of information. You may not be ready to deal with that yet, and that is fine. You will be ready when you are ready.
I think you are doing a great job here expressing yourself and your concerns and I really hope you are able to discuss them in therapy.
I am sure he is trying to get to know all parts of you, but just too fast.
Let us know how it goes.
