my use of the words alters, parts, fragments, and pieces of memories is the psychologically correct terms. just like hallucination are called delusions for schitophrenia. Some people chose to call their hallucinations visions, dreams and so on but the psychologically correct term is hallucinations.

I am sorry my calling them parts, fragments and so this upsets you but I chose to use the psychologically correct terms.

Telling people I get my information from his teaching, his website and from info gathered from contacting his three treatment facilities and what that information is is in no way hurting him or his facilities, in fact when I disclosed to his agencies I from time to time post my research I was told "yea free advertizing." as long as I "am not putting him and his teaching down personally they are well for this". I aways tell professionals that I post about that I am doing , Just like Laura Davis knows I post from time to time about her teachings, books, website and so on. this is no different. yes I Have read alot of Frank Putnams work and Klufts too like them both.

Yes DID is different for everyone in the aspect that not everyone has the same memories. we are not clones of each others abuse situation so those memory pieces for everyone is going to have different content. Because of the different content when a person escapes to their mental safe place and the brain reruns the triggered memory the body reactions are going to be different. because the person can only act the way that is included in that activated memory piece. For example an angry memory piece cannor be made under any circumstances to laugh or be happy in any way. a memory piece that is the stored memory of gagging during oral sex will gag on everything they are given to eat regardless of what has been given. so depending on what everyones different memorys are depends on how different they are from each other. so yes it is different that way. How it progresses is going to be different because for example some people work on it 24/7 and a little bit and still others not at all so for some regaining 100% awareness takes only a few years and still others take decades.
