I used to always get these stomach spasms and finally one day in the car I just yelled out who is doing this and I learned of a new alter that day they appeared show themselves with name and everything it was so freaky.
Anyway a lot of times our parts will do things based on their unrealistic understanding of the facts or present reality. It may be helpful to ask who is doing it and why. Sometimes they just need a surance that everything is going to be okay other times they may share memories with you and those are tough but at least you have the facts to deal with.
Many of our parts are still living in trauma time and they don't feel it safe to share their memories they just need reassurance sometimes. I know in the beginning a few of my parts did not want to cooperate in therapy because they fell if I got better it would make them go away my therapist is always jumping in and reassuring them that they will never go away that they can't go away even if he wants them to. They can consolidate if they want to but they can never actually disappear go away. Inter Corporation is huge when you trying to work on trauma memories with parts. I found it very helpful twerk a lot on intercommunication.
Sorry I just feel really weird saying this. If my therapist knew I was saying this he would be so proud of himself. I have been fighting doing the same thing for so long it just seems weird to be explaining it to somebody else.

Thank you for posting this!
I️ met with my counselor tonight and a part came forward that I️ am dreading hearing.
I️ shouldn’t say that out of respect for what that part did for me.
It just scares me.
Your post gives me courage to listen.
High five for you being brave!! [emoji122]
