Getting rid of a part usually isn’t the best approach. All parts of us, whether we have DID or not, have our best interests at heart. This can be hard to see with a part that’s evil and/or destructive. However, what often happens is that we develop parts inside to mimic those people who abused us when we were young. The rationale for creating this kind of part is usually unconscious. One possibility, though, is that if you’re like the abuser, the abuser might be more likely to leave you alone. A better approach in therapy is usually to try to get all parts to understand, accept and respect one another. Each has important strengths, even when that’s not apparent at first.
