Once when I was needed to stay outwardly composed but one of the younger parts desparately needed to share, I decided to write it all out. I gave it to him with the request that he just react to it and discuss it with me. After he read it, he said, "Don't you want to say all of this with affect?" I said no, that was the whole point! Anyway, I was able to sit and listen to his calming voice and have the problems addressed without totally being "out" or breaking down. I did cry a little as he hit on some sensitive points, but overall it worked out as a fairly benign compromise.
I just hate those internal, conflicting agendas. Good luck.
