What then? How many years and different therapists are needed to reach them? What kind of therapy or method or understanding is there in therapy for them?

I think these are such important points especially for people who experience dissociation and themselves in “parts”... and there seems to be a lot on this forum. It is especially challenging when it comes to therapy - how can all those different desires and needs be even seen? And how can a client, who habitually compartmentalized, get comfortable with even being exposed to all that suddenly? Let alone the therapist?
