Communication between all parts of yourself would make life a lot easier, but if that isn't a reachable goal at the moment, how about damage minimization? Can your therapist help you convince all of your parts that certain behaviors aren't helpful to them (as well as not helpful to you). That's just a suggestion I threw out, but if you can think of ways that your therapist could be of use to you right now, can you talk to him about possible ways of going about it?
I guess in order to get him to help you in the way you need help, you probably have to identify specific goals and then ask him to help you achieve them.
I wish I had better advice for you. I guess I just figure that small steps that will concretely improve your quality of life might make you feel better overall.
But I could be completely wrong. So take it for what it's worth.
