it sounds like it could be...I referred to my inner children for a long time...I was in therapy for a long time...with the wrong t.....he ran away from my trauma history...I got in with a trauma therapist who specialized with dissociation and DID and out came all those inner children that were causing all my anxiety and problems all these years...you really needs a t that specializes in it and understands dissociation....definitely discuss it with t. don't be blown off like I was. I wasted three years of my life.
