Hi Poppet -- I'm glad you posted.

My T made me do an exercise just like the one you posted, when we were first starting out together. It was helpful to recognize those many parts of me.

I can't remember what we did to integrate them -- I didn't have the feeling that you do that they were "getting on top of each other and doing my head in." Are you working with a counselor, especially one with a bit of knowledge of Jungian or gestalt therapy? S/he might have suggestions.

The other thing I would suggest -- and I don't have any training in psychology, so this is just my two-cents -- can you perhaps start to see these many parts of you as rays of light shooting through a prism, or the lights of a hologram coming together to form a multi-dimensional image? Honoring and respecting each of the parts for how it contributes to the whole, and acknowleding that they all work together to form that YOU that you are.

I'm glad you posted again Poppet.
