She has also hit classmates for no reason and apparently people think "I" (we) am a dangerous person.
I found out that when someone told her not to do something (e.g. "Why do you hit me?"), she understood it was wrong and never happened again, so I guess I'm kinda lucky because she hosted most impulsive behaviors and most of them are gone now (thanks to her).
I agree that acknowledging that she is protecting you can help.

I read that a lot, that some alters want to hurt the body to kill one of the others. I don't understand that so much. I know my body as one of my parts. The body has been very strong for us and has suffered a lot. I wasn't always good to the body. I would do things that injured the body or could have gotten the body sick or dead. Now we all protect the body. We understand that without the body we all die because there would be no place for us to go. That doesn't mean that I hadn't considered annihilation. Doing something that would kill the body, but even than I knew that would mean we would all die. We have all talked about it and agree to protect the body and make sure we treat the body well. Our body has always protected us. It has taken all the abuse and helped shield us from the pain. One of us broke the bodies hand. It was a shock to see the hand broken. It made us feel sick and made us realize that we all have to agree to keep the body safe. The body has taken a lot, it has been good to us so we will be good to the body.
