I've found that my parts often need me (or someone else inside) to comfort them and help them feel safe, just like any external child would. I hold them (I have a doll that represents my parts externally), rock them, talk to them gently...again, just like I would with any outside kid who was scared. I've also found it really helpful to work with them to create their own safe places where they know nothing bad can get them.
I don't know if that helps you or not...just throwing some alternate ideas out.

It is someones job to hold the fear. We take them as they are. I will consider what you have said. I don't know who would do the comforting. I will ask her if she wants comforting next time she is out.
