My therapist said it was rare that I don't have a core host. Like one single part that takes on as the host. There's actually three of us who take on as the host and while we all have the same memories, and we all are there for the same things. We all live very separate lives. When we make a major switch from one of us to other we don't forget what has happened for the last month that the other host has been out. The two who are not present sit in the background, just sort of watching. It takes a lot of energy out of us.

To me I have two different kinds of switching. I have the switching where I switch quickly and rapidly. And then I have switching between the cores where it takes a good week to transfer completely over and in that time my system is left really vulnerable to other more harmful parts. It's exhausting making a core switch.

Does anyone else not have a single core host?
