Question about establishing communication

Hello, first I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. My best, best friend in the world has DId. We actually found out she has it together about 3 years ago. I’m super close with most of the alters and been helping them heal and navigate life. I adore them all. She/they know I’m posting here and asked me to do so.

So they have pretty great communication. They only have one alter(that’s what they call themselves) who everyone can’t see but she is an old lady who just sleeps all the time. Otherwise everyone can communicate great!! When they were a lot younger, the protector/gatekeeper had a little he protected and parented. One day she disappeared and he searched for her for years and years and years and years but has never found her. Well two nights ago... I got to meet her!! She sounds like she just “woke up” cause she doesn’t think she has been gone at all. If she is not in the body she is just in some black void, basically. I’m trying to help the two of them find each other, establish communication and help them be together. They are able to write notes that I pass back and forth. The little has heard the protector be in the body and call to her but that’s all. Tonight she came back and so I tried some visualizing, like I have done before with them, of like a wall separating them and they have to push through to get to each other. She started squirming and I asked why and she said when she tried to push at the wall to get to him it hurt. The body had a migraine today (due to her being new and the protectors frustration/tension at not being able to get to her) so I told her to stop and just rest then.

Soo all of that to say, anyone have any ideas on how to help get them to find each other on the inside? We are desperate! I hate that the little, sweet girl just sits in the pitch black until she waits for night time to come see me and work on trying to get to her friend. It’s so hard to watch her and him struggle and I want desperately to help them!

Thank you for -any- thoughts or advice!!!

I don't know if this will work but when a child part in my system draws something internal, like an emotion or a drawing of the internal world it can have an effect on things internally.

So she could try drawing her friend and see if that helps?

Thank you for your reply!

So have her draw it out here with me? She can’t draw it on the inside cause she is just in darkness, no objects or anything. Which is so hard on her protector cause course she is scared of the dark! I might have her try it out here and maybe inside too, but just with her finger on the ground! We will try anything! Thanks again!

Maybe helping her visualize light or something similar might help her be less scared and create light in her part? It could help her with the drawing thing.
