Absolutely. I hope you will post a lot here. And don't feel you have to hide having different ego states. Discovering those, and trying to hold their feelings and experiences in mind simultaneously, has been the cornerstone of my analysis. Now that I can do it, at least some of the time, my analyst really encourages me to *be my own therapist* during my most difficult times. Before I started analysis, I was unconsciously keping the abused parts of me out of mind. Holding them in mind and tryng to accept and understand them has made me feel much better. Before, I somehow had the idea that no-one would ever want to have those younger parts anywhere around. Including me! I didn't want to know anything about them. Since there are a number of posters with dissociative disorders here, they will understand exactly what you are talking about. i do hope you eventually find good treatment, but, in the meantime, i do think PB can help a lot.
