My entire system functions like this. So how would we be able to have one alter dealing with many situations. I don't know how to do that. I don't have a structure in my mind where I can do that

Hello. Maybe you know more about this than you think. You say that the alter who works doesnt protect you and that another one does that job. There is some 'awareness' here in what you say. It is any awareness that might be shared that can be useful. Do you ahve nightmares or anything that bring you abck to a certain place or time? Are there activities that bring out different viewpoints/alters?
Be patient with yourself and tell you doc you dont undestand what she is asking. Be honest and take care.
