Hugs. Yeah, I don't know if I want to risk another therapist, especially as me and our child alter are hugely attached.
Had a session where I wrote down the concerns each known member had which they wanted to share. We only managed to work on 1 because the (protector) alter in question has the job of protecting the system and believes all attachment should be within the system, it's dangerous for me and our little to be attached to T etc. It was all through me although I know our protector wanted to switch me out. She just didn't because she's afraid we'll be hurt if she did take over. Like how our child alter thinks they'll be rejected if they switch out, how I'm stressed as hell because yep same concern!
Wish I remembered more, but I think T handled things quite well but I definitely don't remember if T answered what would happen if switching did occur.
