Its nothing we are gonna draw or anything so a lot of commotion inside, some good, some negative and one who seems to be taking charge like in a motherly way. Anyway I dont want to know too much detail about other's experience because i dont want anything to influence how we are gonna deal with this "mapping" thing. Im supposed to work on preparing inside for this which has us a little un nerved. too. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

mapping is just finding out what your internal system of alters is like. some therapists I had drew charts and diagrams others they asked questions about who's who, what their jobs are, what kinds of things they remember. other therapists I has did mapping right from the beginning my keeping track of whos who and stuff when ever I dissociated during therapy. I liked it that way because most of my guess work of who is who and what they do and what they remembered turned out to be different than who they really were, what their jobs were from their point of view and what things they remembered was also different cause there was very little co consciousness between all of us. So in a nut shell mapping is probably something you have already been doing if you have been telling your therapist about you and your alters. your therapist just didnt use the psychological term for it until now.
