Problem is I enjoy when she takes over. She does things I never would but I do experience great satisfaction thru her. She's like an alter ego. Sometimes very sassy, cheeky & dominant where as I wod say I'm more submissive. It's starting to get a bit confusing & a bit of a challenge for my partner to understand. There's such big changes or swings of emotions it gets confusing to him. It also happens extremely fast. I can feel it coming on.
So do I let this happen & enjoy it. Do I try to reign it in & do more grounding to keep myself present & this other part away or do I just...run with it. I'm very confused.
Thanks for your help!
Couple of possibilities here, either this part feels safe enough and trusts your partner enough to be who she is and enjoy it.

Or (read with care) this part was the one that saved you in previous sexual abuse experiences. You will need to remind yourself that you are safe now, yes she can enjoy the 'here and now' experiences but be aware that it might bring up some memories for you that were previously hidden.

Share with T if you can.
