" But I don't suppose I'd find a therapist who'd be willing to help me locate a lost ego state."

Are you sure you're not overthinking this a little or over-idealizing Happy Dinah, or forgetting that Happy Dinah was maybe just Dinah when she felt a certain way. I'm pretty sure any T would want to know what you liked so much about Happy Dinah, declare that all of those traits were still there for the unearthing, and try to help you recapture those feelings - but not some separate and distinct ego state.

And why is is just never going to happen that you'd do some of the things Happy Dinah did? (Bearing in mind that last month I had a conversation with a colleague which I had only just told my therapist "was never going to happen.")
