I was talking to T3 yesterday, and she said that it is too early to work on my teenage protective part, that I still need the protection. And everyone pretty much agreed on that.
I don't have a part that I identify as the host. I am not sure what that would be like.
So that brings the next question: How did you learn that you had a host?

Reading your description of your system, I am seeing my poster stars on the floor with my counselor a couple of weeks ago. Your description and the arrangement of my stars (parts) are very much alike. As I find the different part of me, there is a curiosity among the other parts about it. Then there is concern and compassion, after it's figured out and understood. I know that they care for each other, and the greatest protectiveness for all of them is for the "Little One"
I also do not have a part that I feel as a host. It feels like the other parts of me blend/step up/shift constantly in response to what I'm doing or what needs to be handled. My counselor has asked me to find "me", I suppose that would be the host. I don't think I have found that part yet, or the other parts know how to step back. That sounds scary, because I don't think I would know how to function.
I'd like to pass on the previous question, because I would like to know.
How did you learn you had a host, and how did you find that part of you?
