Catlovers141,
One person is one way and another person is another way...
The silence is 'nice' sometimes...at times it can be somewhat disturbing but not completely...I am always surprised at the ones that warn or give insight...
Perhaps the mapping for me was more like introducing them to an outsider and therefore the outsider became a kind of part of the whole. In this case it was my therapist. In those days I would not have known to ask inside, if it was okay to make that introduction but I think it may be a good idea, just in case. Perhaps you can just apologise to the ones that may have not wanted to be introduced just yet.
To me this is where the 'key' may lie, the difference between a respectful therapist and one that just wants to get the job done. For so long the alters have been yours alone, then you map them with an outsider and poof...they/we/you are no longer alone. It is pretty intense. I am hoping you will be extra specially gentle with yourself.
Do some enjoyable, kind and pleasant things for yourself/ves. I think it can be pretty surprising too. Having said this, I did not unlock or map all my alters in the therapy sessions. Have you asked who else may be waiting to be heard? Sometimes some of them don't like to leave home or have been silent so long they don't know they can speak or even come forward to be known. Just some thoughts from our experience.
Keep close and take care...thinking about all of you.
