Okay, thanks for sharing a bit more. I wonder if you have you tried communicating with that protector in different ways?
There are things I can't see. It happened in our last session... a part said something that was very firmly shut down by another part (like your protector I suppose) because we "cannot see that yet."
I wonder if your analytical part would be temporarily satisfied by analyzing reasons and ways of being for different parts of self? Finding out more about the roles of different alters and how to work with them may help. I find this book really useful. You can read some of the pages online if you click on "look inside". https://www.amazon.com/Coping-Trauma...d+dissociation
