I'm glad you did. I have learned over time that 'thanking them' is actually the best way to work with them. They came to protect and if we can see them in that light and thank them for what they do and have done, they usually become more cooperative. It takes a lot of work, but pays off in the long run.
I have those same feelings of falling off of/out off seated positions. I don't understand it - but it's very unnerving.

He asked what I wanted to talk about and after some prompting I produced the letter and he asked about the ways I punish myself and told him then we talked about how afraid I was of the "part"as he calls them that makes me do this. Then said something about him thanking the part which sounded just crazy but I felt part getting less angry and smaller. I was so stunned. I was less spacey and more present. I found the blanket seemed to contain me as I usually feel like I am spilling out of the chair. I don't know what to make of all this.
So I give you my tea cake I ran out of cinnamon so it's just sugar on top
