Re:dnms and dissociation

If the "front part" of a client won't tolerate such a discussion, then isn't that part, in effect, also an introject? What comes to mind is an internalized caretaker who offers some support, inconsistently and conditionally. "Only if" other parts of self are banned from consciousness.

Then wouldn't it follow that that "front part" would need to be validated first? Instead of simply being used as a conduit to other parts? More simply, I mean that some costumes aren't scary at all, they are bland and pleasant, but they accomplish the same purposes of distraction and disintegration and selfharm. They are "introjects".

Maybe...?
