Just from observation, I think people who deny those aspects of theirself act it out on other people. So-recognizing and understanding those parts may lead to less acting out in the long run.
It might seem foreign to you know, but maybe it's something you can integrate. Often people have to repress those impulses all those years rather than being free, so it can be scary when they come out.

I tend to agree, though I had lots of bad experiences in therapy with therapists not understanding those "parts" and me not understanding their reactions to them.
I know it's not what you want, necessarily, PuepleBlur, but if this T can't tolerate them, or interact with you in a way that you don't end up feeling put down, then perhaps you might consider finding another T? (Or no T at all and just feedback from peers is what I'm trying now.)
