When I was able to teach her this, and guide her into the present by reminding her, every time she appeared, to ground herself , and remember she was no longer in the past and no longer needed to protect me, as I teach all my alters, she stopped behaving sexually and concentrated instead on her role as my best friend. I have also given her a new purpose, as she is very nurturing. She provides nurturing to all the little alters that were so severely neglected. This helps her feel positive about herself until she is ready to tell her story. I hope this helps. I don't know what your sexualized alter is like. For me, communication with my alters is key to creating cooperation. We have an agreement not to switch without asking first and are doing well with blending which allows each alter to share the body with me (the host). Thanks for sharing. I know what a sensitive subject it is and you have a lot of courage.
Thank you for sharing, Cinnamon . The others are co operative, in that they ask before they switch. They ask if I handle things or not, and whether they should take over.It's only our sexualized alter I don't have such an agreement with.

If I'm honest with myself, I would say that I haven't tried to get to know her as a person- at least not as much as I try to get to know the other alters.It makes sense to go about changing that. Talking to her, getting to know her, and understanding her might help us out a great deal.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
