> But after working with him for so long and building up an alliance, I think it just seemed like the fair (both to them and to my therapist) thing to do. I got tired of being the omniscient narrator all the time. Also, I have to say it has helped a lot with switching, at least in therapy.
Yeah. I really want to try and see whether I can get by without doing that. See... I first became aware of them as voices. I think it took a bit of time before they started taking on a life of their own... I already have fairly good communication with them. I'd rather therapy be about me improving communication with them. I need to be the way-station. Not my therapist. I don't want it to be about the therapist being the way-station telling me what they have said, what they have done. I need to know. Then I can tell my t.
Thats just the way I want to do it.
I don't know if it will work like that.
But I do want to give it an honest try that way first.
> Why do you say you don't want to work on controlling switching? I'm not sure I understand.Being able to switch on demand. Thats what I mean. I don't want to switch anymore. If they talk to me more, if we sort out whatever sh*t is going on then maybe it won't happen anymore.
