It sounds fascinating and instructive. I'd love to hear if you are able to achieve it. It's not even something I can think of considering, as it seems so far from physically possible. My therapist speaks of integration of my rational and emotional self from time to time, but as much as I trust him, that just doesn't seem like a possible or even a worthwhile goal.
I like your therapist's description of the neurological basis of dissociation. Since my ego states are my emotional self and my rational self, it would tend to make perfect sense to think of it that way. I know those parts of the brain have a certain degree of disconnect anyway, just exaggerated in my case.
Does your analyst work with dissociation a lot? He sounds very comfortable with the ideas involved.
