Chuckle. I'm trying to imagine my therapist calling either part of me "just" anything. That seems like a good way to get in trouble.
I hadn't realized that your child parts weren't complete personalities. Maybe there is no "standard" for any of this. My emotional and rational sides would both consider themselves complete unto themselves, although my therapist might argue that each was missing something. And there's separation of duties, my emotional self having none, and my rational self having all.
I've done a fair amount of research on attachment theory, and it's helped a lot in my therapy I think.
