During consultation sessions with my clinical psychologist, I found it difficult to express the (hidden) thoughts and emotions of my alters. What can I do with it?

I cant tell you what to do. only you can decide what you need and want to do.

I can tell you what I did in this situation -

my therapy path was reality-based healing based. which means there was no trying to find more and more traumas, more and more alters, there was no need for things like promoting communication, nor acceptance and forming friendships and attachments to the disorder and or the alters / parts. and there was no focusing on learning how to live forever as a dissociative, mentally ill person with cooperation for the rest of my life.

my treatment providers and I treated my dissociative disorder as a physical and mental health issue not my identity. I wasn't a disorder; I had a disorder kind of distinction.

my path through my dissociative disorders was focusing on what I did know and take care of present-day issues.

I left what I don't know to come to the surface naturally.

As I became healthier and more able to handle those trauma issues and I had the tools needed to handle those stored in my unconsciousness traumatic memories and such, they came to the surface naturally and without effort, and without causing more issues that forcing it before I was ready for it to happen would have caused.

Again, I can't tell you what to do, only you know what you need and want to do based on what therapy paths you and your treatment provider are going to do.
