Hi. In our work with our T, maps have been done. Not by me but by others in the system. There are two who do mapping. That's how i learned who was there. In the last couple months, a new part no one knew about has come forward. T said as we embark upon the deeper work, that can happen.

There are layers in my system. I am from the front layer (the ones who do and manage life) and seem to have fairly good co consciousness with them which has developed over the past 7 yrs since bed dx'd. The other layers i don't have good communication or co consciousness with. But some in the front do.

I have come and learned to see that even those whom seem to want to cause havvoc and harm are really only doing what they learned and what their jobs are. I have seen positive changes in my Protectors and others that i never thought was possible.

We started by journaling - at first. Actually, created our own private support board which is just for us and which we use as a journal - including art, music, video - whatever. Now i can participate in inner meetings even - but that took time. I can hear some insiders very clearly and feel when they are near. Like i knew my protector was near in therapy today before he ever came out. I can feel him looming, like his shadow was hovering over me.

Don't know if any of this helps. It took others inside getting on board too - we been working on all this with the same T for more than 5 yrs. We see him twice a week.
Now i can't remember what you're original question was so forgive me if i went offline.
take care
