how do you develop this...you keep working with your treatment providers taking care of you, your present day problems, gaining stability and as you become more able to handle what went on in the past those things will be shared with you.
Its true, just keep working in therapy. It can take some time before some alters will step forward and come out. I had been in therapy for years an thought there were no more to come out. But I had a shift in my thinking. And then two new voices came out. It surprised me. Things change as they need to. You can't force change.
