Memory sharing in dissociative systems often improves as the system becomes safer and more stable. One aspect of this is intra-system safety: parts being able to cooperate with each other. Communication between parts often helps build that cooperation.
Protective parts of the system are also more likely to allow memories to be shared when they believe that you and others in the system will be able to tolerate those memories without becoming overwhelmed.
