Kimmydawn,
Thanks for the explanatinon. I'm still confused

about the planned dissociatin in therapy. I like the idea of scheduled dissociation at home, engaging your mind in something all parts can participate in whle "resting." I might try that, it's good idea. When I am in therapy I dont' plan to dissociate, it happens, but my theapist is trying to get me to notice it which i have begun checking out. Now he wants me to be able to tell him what I need from him when I am confused. (Like if he should continue talking or I need him to be quiet). That will be a big step because it requires presence of mind to some degree. I'll just keep working on it.
