My alters and I are doing much better with cooperating with one another and having fun during this holiday season.
Still, there are some trauma triggers that some of the alters deal with around this time, so some of the helping alters will step in and comfort them. Our T will help them, too, but they are still nervous about therapists since one in the past really hurt them. Our T made them feel extra comforted (via online therapy) by acknowledging that and understanding why they have difficulty coming out to speak with her. But she says she's always there to listen to them when they are ready. That made them feel safer inside.
