one. I haven’t a problem, but their not comfortable
they don’t feel safe. I’m sorry if this seems all over
the place. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

no I never had a problem with my alters coming out during therapy. they did it all on their own. you see my DID was because I was horribly abused before I was 5 years old. my alters were coming out all on their own since before I was 5 based on when I would dissociate due to a trigger...
example Rainy would take control when I was dissociated (feeling numb, spaced out and disconnected ) do to my being triggered by a thunder storm. if I happened to be in therapy during wet rainy weather rainy would be the one in therapy.
Thelma was my sexualized alter which meant any time I dissociated (felt numb, spaced out, disconnected due to talking about my sex life with my therapist then thelma would be the one in control
Red was may alter of anger any time I felt numb spaced out and disconnected because I was feeling angry Red would be the one in therapy...
in other words therapy is for discussing those things that I could not handle on my own, as a natural result of this my alters would naturally take control to do their sense of agency of handling things I could not.
its actually a good thing when alters dont come out during therapy, it means you are strong enough to handle the discussions all on your own with out being so triggered that you dissociate into being your alters.
