I'm curious if any of those of you with DDNOS or co-conscious DID notice a pattern of falling asleep OK, but then waking up in the early hours of the morning and then having a part show up and start talking?

This has been happening to me from time to time. Usually it happens when I have been triggered about something from my past, or when my t and I have been discussing something painful in session.

It always happens after I wake up in the middle of the night. When this part shows up, I try to encourage it to speak its mind. Often, it talks on and on, sometimes for as much as 1-2 hours. I'm not sure if it is talking to me or not. It feels more like it is talking to my t. It is not asking questions or wanting feedback. It just says how it thinks and feels.

As I hear what it says, I think "This is important. I need to remember this. We should probably discuss this in therapy." But when I wake up in the morning, I remember very little about it.
