I think I have been seeing my t for seven years. We have only gotten so far because when it comes to remembering what happened we feel to much fear and my protector come out. I also have a part who denies we have DID but he comes out when we start to push to remember the trauma. His denial of our dx is his effort to protect us from the trauma memory and distract us from trying to remember. It took me three years to understand that. Now when he yells out "it's bull sh^^" I explain that if he is here than we have DID. He sorta gets that and grumps away. Sometimes I am tired, exhausted by all the conversation in my head. I find that doing something I love like, exercise, soccer, painting, relieves me of all the cross talk because we are focused. Everyone gets a break and so do I. Find something, a hobby that you love and take a break from all the internal chaos. You will feel better and so will they.
It's has the same effect of working but without the stress of deadlines. I used to work two to three jobs for the past thirty years. It kept me in the world and less in my head. Now I like to paint. In fact I think we all do. Take care.
