Alter doesnt want me to masturbate
Apologies if this doesnt belong here. Its a very confusing situation. I am in the process of questioning and talking to my therapist about possible DID/maybe OSDD. I became aware something was happening and began communicating to my parts and trying to work with them. And there is a lot of things that i dont know. Anyway, the point of saying that is, whenever i try to masturbate lately, there is pushback and fear. And i dissociate. I try really hard to listen but there are times when admittedly i just dont want to. I never had to not do something that ive always done before without asking myself first. But proceeding anyway makes me feel guilty. Like i am traumatizing or r*ping this scared alter. And i think i just do not know how to negotiate at all. I know this must be a skill to learn, everyone is always saying that if there is conflict you have to always talk and listen to your alters and negotiate and meet in the middle. But then what? How do you get to that middle. I know the why but i dont know the how. I think in general i dont know how to handle conflict, or how to communicate, let alone with myself. and its so frustrating. Thank you for any help.
