3velniai.....I've repeatedly have a similar reactions when I encounter these... fragments of my inner world. My T has also accepted, without much shock, when I occasionally mention them. LUCKILY, my T has not tried to directly talk to one of them like it was a real person....This would have sent me totally over the deep end. I remember having a discussion with my T a long time ago about feeling like I had different people arguing in my head. Since then we have not really directly talked about them that much. However I have mentioned them in my writings to her a few times, so I am sure my T was aware they were still alive inside my head. Just last session I drew a picture of my therapy room and included 6 ghostly figures scattered throughout the room. As you can imagine, when I shared this picture...we revisited the ego state topic directly. LOL
I would imagine that your T likely hears people describe feelings like this a lot. I would not assume that her attempt to talk with one directly is evidence that she thinks you are a split personality case. I would however tell her if her attempting to "talk" with one of these ego states bothers you. For me, my T needs to stick to talking with the "executive" me or who ever the one is that goes to therapy.
As for your T scheduling you for an earlier appointment... she may have just anticipated your reaction to her treatment approach and wanted to follow up with you, just in case you started to attack these inner worlds and drive them back into the subconscious.
