My understanding of DID is very little unfortunately. I am not a professional but I do know that some therapists do try to beckon parts out for the sake of integration. If there is a part that is unidentified, doing so can be scary (from what I have been told).
Do you feel safe in the process your therapist is doing? Perhaps you can communicate your needs to your therapist and hope he is receptive to it. Maybe there is a gentler way to go about it all.
Thanks,

Yeah I feel totally safe it just I go in there feeling fine and not struggling and then I have to get in touch with this part which makes me feel all its anger, sadness, longing, and yearning. The hardest part is I feel its need to want to be held and cared for by T not by me. Fictisiouilsy I am the one who is suppose to imagine hugging it and that is going to make everything all better. Bull **** that entire line of philosophy.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
