Another thought is that some therapists believe that you need space to live without therapy for awhile. One of the places I get counselling has breaks set in. This is partly for funding and availability and partly because too much therapy can be difficult on a person. Sometimes you need to experience life without a regular appointment to build up confidence in yourself.
Have you tried writing a pro/con list with your parts? It would be helpful to see everyone's reasons on paper. Make sure that everyone can say what they wish about it, I have a tendency to filter some of the points/wording of parts and they get upset. You could bring that into your session.

I have mentioned to my t that there are parts that don't want to go to therapy. We have talked about a little. The young want to go because they like to talk during therapy. I think they feel safe to talk. But I also have very very angry ones who want to jump out of the chair and curse and carry on about what a f*** my father was. They want to rage. Not hurt my t, but to just blast the things that happened when we were young. I don't know how to let them say what they feel without being concerned I will not be able to stop them if they don't want to be stopped. And I don't mean they would hurt my t, There is a part of me the is embarrassed by their rage and can't bring ourselves to let someone see that. As I write this I know the rage will turn to fear and sadness. I just don't know how to trust that they won't go to far. They are very angry and hateful. That's interesting because I never see any of us as hateful. But they do have hate. Maybe this conflict is why I am looking for a reason to take a break from therapy. I just wish I could trust myself to be able to let them speak.
