another name for internal self helpers is "protectors"
which are pieces of memories that the person is triggered into when danger is percieved or uncomfortable topics are being discussed.

I have many protectors and depending on the memory content, when I am triggered into them I can tell my therapist what is going on in my life.

I am a rapid switcher which means I switch into rerunning memory pieces very fast. When in the Mary memory piece I can tell my therapist about situations that have to do with something that I drew or something that I experienced during my court hearings, when in the memory pieces known as another memory piece I can tell about interactions with my parents, and so on down the line.

Some of the memory pieces known as mary have been integrated with other pieces of memorys based on the matching memories so when the mary memories are replaying I can say for example -

if some of the "Myself" memories have been integrated with the "mary" memories - while in the "mary" memories I can say "myself went to mcdonalds and and ate french fies."

But I cant tell my therapists things that are not a part of that piece of memory that is replaying. for example if the "mary" memories did not contain the shared (integrated) piece of memory about the french fries if my therapist asked me -Mary did Myself go to Mcdonalds to have french fries? I would either switch into the memory piece of Myself or I would say - I don't know because the question did not match with the mary memory content.
