Willing Isn't the Same as Able: Ego States, ERP, and the Limits of Negotiation
Some parts aren't resisting treatment. They're stuck in a role with no procedural alternative to what they've always done, even after they've agreed the role isn't working anymore. This essay walks through a religious intrusive-thought case where months of negotiation confirmed willingness without changing behavior, and how an EMDR interweave, not more talking, finally gave the state something else to do.
