I do remember bits of the sessions where they talk. It's scary because then I am the one yelling in their head to shut up and some of them (not all) seem to be very good at ignoring me. So I remember best the parts where I feel like they are lying or being offensive.
I definitely understand how you don't want them to talk. I don't want them to either but I've been in therapy for 3 years with this doctor and instead of opening up I was getting quieter and quieter because there was such conflicts amongst all of us about what to say and what not to say and how to say it, etc.
Lots of times I want mine to go away too because I want to be "normal" at least for a little bit and see how everyone else experiences their minds. But then I get afraid. What if there is no me left?
Mine don't ever really go away. It's more like a radio, they're always there but sometimes I don't have to tune in and once in a great while I even lose the frequency on one of them. As far as making them up, yeah I think that all the time. I even tell them that. "I just made you up." Unfortunately they don't often listen. "Well you made you up too," some of them say back.
Does getting better mean they go away? What does your therapist think? Has she said what she thinks yet?
