Confused---
It is my own thought that I don't agree with your therapist pushing the meeting of other parts. I sure don't think it's fair and I wouldn't want to be given that ultimatum to do something I'm not ready to do.
A couple of my inside family came out to our T before I even knew them.
I came to my own awareness of them in my way, in my time.
I am still trying to understand it all.
I hope you realize that YOU have a say in your therapy, and if you don't agree with what your therapist says or asks of you, you can say "no" or "I'm not ready to do that" or "Can we tallk about how I can do that..."
Just my thoughts.

My T is awesome... she never pushes me...well unless I have SI thoughts... But you should feel free to say to T that something makes you feel uncomfortable. I have meetings inside all the time, it is scary at first but gets better...Lilith

Nope never done that in all the 6 years of - MY - therapy work for DID. Neither of - MY - therapists ever suggested my going inside to "meet" my memory pieces (alters) quite the opposite - MY - therapy work has been geared for becoming more aware not creating more dissociation. Also - I - was told by professionals that "meeting" alters is not like what is depicted in the movie Sybil. All the professionals that - I - have been in contact with during the past 5-6 years that work in the field of DID have told me that the concept of "meeting" alters just means starting to develop co consciousness and integration process.

Here is a blog entry of what - I - experience with this concept and - MY - explaining the process as explained to - ME - by professionals in the field of DID but using my friends own situation so that she could understand what - I - was saying and had experienced with MY "meeting memory pieces"

This is MY experiences and so on. If others have experienced something different that is ok. just take what can help and pass on the rest.

Hey confused, I am actually going through the same thing right now. I don't think my T is pushing me, but kind of asking. In T sessions T has had 2 piece speak to one another. The goal of our meeting is going to be kind of going over rules of outside behaviors. So it's really a problem solving thing and getting to know each other as well. We set a 30 min time limit for the meeting. And the meetings will be once a week. T wants this to be able to communitate with each other.

The first week my T asked be to do this it freaked me out for awhile. But before I did anything I wrote down what I wanted to come from the meeting. Set the rules for the meeting. Mostly for them to respect one another. I'm kind of new at this too. But this is how far I've come so far. Still haven't had our first meeting yet. Weird thing is that it's actually planned for later today. I'll let you know what happens.

Monty
