When sessions are hard

Today was the first time one of my angry dissociative parts was able to hold a conversation with my therapist without ruining it. I was told the discussion went well but not flawless of course. I feel weird now. Not connected. I don't know how to even describe it other than it feels like the ball is now rolling but our next season is 5 days away. This is all new territory as some of my parts have fought the battle for 30+ years. It's shined some light around how tired we are. Can anyone relate?
 
Putting the ball in someone else’s court is an incredibly helpless (and possibly fruitless) thing to do.

It’s why even smart people play chess. (To see what someone else will do. & Play off of theor move).

But it IS vexing. Allowing others power. And responding either in kind, or as needed, or both. Other people complicate things.

Sometimes those complications are useful/needed/deaired. Sometimes they’re not.

What is your end game / why did you choose to engage?
 
No experience but huge kudos for being able to allow that to happen. Mine will tell Ts various versions of go away but will refuse to speak...and try and shut up 'everyone' else in the process. Will they write to T journal style to keep the thought process going, then if they won't verbally speak to them next time there's still a line of communication?
