I think I would want to use all the skills I've learned from my T first to try to deal with it myself and then if its still an issue after I tried everything than I would bring it up to T.

Yes, I can probably do that. I am doing it right now. She knows it's not her fault, but she's still sad. I'm thinking that maybe this came up because the child parts are saying good-bye to T. In my mind, that is. I want them to be with T a little more before that happens. T likes to hear how I manage with my parts. Mostly we focus on my body now. How it feels in my body. I'll have to play it by ear at my next session and see how I feel. If something feels unfinished, then I need to talk about it. You're right that the goal is for me to be able to comfort my parts, but it's still okay to talk about it with T.
