I don't think I'm ready to do any mapping yet. I love the collage idea that wrapworks had, though. I think that there are parts of me that would really like that.

I didnt mind. I wasnt aware when I was an alter so I had no idea that she was doing it until it came time to work on taking care of some of my triggers. then she brought out the log and showed me the first page and we talked about that trigger and ways that I could take care of myself when I got into the same situation. it actually helps alot. my therapist had to write things down for their files, and my insurance company whether or not I was in the room when she wrote them up anyway so I saw no difference in what she was doing to help me learn about me and why those alters came to be vs for the files and insurance. in fact sometimes when she had to write things for the files and insurance I had wished what she was writing was for helping me. I liked it when I found out she keeps notes about me. that kind of told me she thinks I was important enough to remember, important enough for her to document me and my life, important enough for her to find a way to remember who I was and what I told her. kind of makes me feel cared about when she takes notes for what ever reasons its for.
