christty, sorry to hear about the switching and that it's disturbing you..i've been switching alot lately myself and the headaches are sometimes the only physical marker i have that it's not 'all in my head' as they say. I find that slowing down helps, if this is possible or doing things that don't require as much internal dialogue helps for the other dialogue to get through...i also have a bear that i keep closer to me at home in the event that things are triggering and somebody is feeling threatened...i read somewhere that carrying something, even a charm on a bracelet, will sometimes help to get the focus back...i haven't found what will steady things for me right now, but the bear does help and somebody just gave me a key chain and the words are written in sparkles and it helps to remind me that there is an external measure of safety despite what the insiders may be saying: who knows, maybe my guys just want some ice cream!! take good care and i hope things settle down soon.
