As a walk-in is a cooperative venture, the parting soul could leave the incoming one w/ a download of their memories so they could function in their world.
Our HS & self relationship is different than the HS being the driver & self being the car. They have very different functions. It isn’t HS’ job to manage self. It is self’s responsibility to reach out to reunite w/ HS. Self is one aspect of an extended energy field that is reunited in 7D. We have multiple aspects in various Ds. Self is a fully autonomous aspect, yet maintains the ability to connect w/ HS. HS is the first portion of our spirit that isn’t affected by earthly travails. HS is in uppermost 4D, & is our gateway & guide to full 5D awareness. While HS & self have different functions, we can expand our awareness for them to be fully connected. HS & self still maintain their separate functions when we fully connect.

Our mind isn’t autonomous. It’s the mechanics for our thoughts in physicality. The mind wouldn’t have an issue w/ this any more than our computer has an issue w/ our accessing another program. The emotions would be the departing soul’s memories, likely residing w/ it, not in the mind. These could remain in the mind’s memory so the walk-in could function as that person, but there wouldn’t be any more competition w/ these remaining memories than multiple programs have residing in our compter.
The change is likely to be challenging to the walk in if they’ve not experienced physicality before as when one hasn’t experienced physicality before & is born as an infant they have many years to get accustomed to new ways.
We wouldn’t have an issue w/ the new walk-in seeing someone else in the mirror as the soul that was in the body left. That said, I recall reading that it was possible for 2 souls to share the same body. Still, this would be a co-operative venture, so there would be no conflict, only some adjustment. Walk-ins sharing the body w/ the existing soul is probably much rarer than walk-ins. If this occurs it is likely that the walk-in is part of the person’s same soul family (SELF, oversoul).

Doreen Virtue’s book, "Earth Angels."
pg. 3- ‘If you’re an Earth Angel, then you’re a powerful lightworker with a legacy of healing and miracles behind and in front of you. You accepted your Divine assignment to come to Earth and spread your teachings and healing energies. ...
You may discover that you’re an Incarnated Angel or Elemental; a Starperson whose past lives have been extraterrestrial (ET); a Walk-In; or a Wise One, which is a reincarnated Sorceress, High-Priestess, or Wizard. You’re a seasoned service worker called into action---an Earth Angel. You may have had past lives on Earth as an Incarnated Angel, elemental, and such, yet you forgot these incarnations, believing that your past lives were human.
The term Earth Angels is not to be confused with Incarnated Angels, which is one of the five groups of Earth Angels. ...’

‘The New Role of Walk-In Energy
As we progress through 2010 and on through 2012, the energies that can exist on the earth will change. In the beginning, the earth was the holding place for all energies that had not yet completed their ascension in other ascension cycles. The earth is the final planet of this solar system, galaxy and universe to complete ascension. Until this time was reached, intervention from outside the earth was not allowed. However, with the new matrices and portals, especially the June portal, an opening will occur that will allow other beings and energies from other timelines, universes, paradigms, and dimensions to step into the third dimension. They will appear as walk-ins, replacing the energies of certain humans who are not fulfilling their contracts, or whose souls can no longer partner with their physical presence, or who are resisting the shift in such as way as to cause harm to others. These souls will be replaced by a different energy who can carry the higher energies needed for ascension. The physical bodies whose soul energy is replaced will act and even look different, a complete change in personality and thinking may occur. Any energies that try to interfere with the ascension beginning in June 2010 will be replaced with an energy of a higher frequency.’

This discussion is interesting because it begs the question if those being replaced who might be interfering w/ ascension would be voluntarily co-operating w/ the Universe.
