I'm feeling sort of the same way lately -- I'm in so many parts and pieces (though not alters) that I feel chaos all around me. And the more competent "gate-keeper" part is slower to defend and less able to keep up. Which is good for therapy and bad for work.
My therapist thinks this is a good thing too. He said she was an essential part of me for coping when I was child so we need to respect the role she played. But he wants to make room for the other parts of me, which he describes as "exiled" for a long time.
but I feel like I'm failing now in so many places, especially at work. And I think the gate keeper was really, really good a dissociating. It is a difficult balance to achieve, isn't it?
