I am co-conscious with some. Some of them not...but to varying degrees.
I find that although at times, I find myself in complete distress over being this way, and sometimes it drives me insane and I feel its driving me up the darn wall, at the same time Im not used to being "alone in my head", Im used to them, I would miss them if I ended up just "Puzzle_" I dont know if I would miss the ones I don't know much about but anyway,
Do we all HAVE to integrate??? Is that the only possible way of healing?

Puzzle, I don't know if this will be of any help....
To me co-conciousness was like sitting in the backseat mentally while someone else ran the body. I was aware of what was happening, but wasn't in control.
The best analogy I have for integration is a 3D lucite puzzle I have. The pieces all fit together to create a whole object, but each piece is still there. Does that make sense? I was also afraid of lossing pieces of myself. They served me well over the years. They are not gone. If I need to tap into any of them they are they for me to use their skills. Again, I'm not sure that makes sense.
As for do you have to integrate to heal. No, you don't. For me the goal was to be a functional human being. That resulted in integration for me, but that's not the answer for everyone.
