I have a lot of co consciousness because I can see what a lot of my alters do and say. In the past I didn't know thats what I was doing. I didn't know I had alters. I also didn't know that everyone didn't think like I did. Sense going to therapy I have learned that many of my feelings belong to a specific alter. So when I feel very sad and want to cry I will now ask my alter what is wrong and than wait for a response. If I get a response I try to continue the exchange of thought. This process has helped me to identify individual alters. And that has enabled me to talk with them. What I found out is that some of my alters are actually happier now that they know I know they exist. They don't feel left out. For one of my alters Brian, talking with him enabled him to tell me why he was angry with me. I was than able to apologize to him. We talked about what each wanted. He understands me better and I know he is here. I think we both understand each better and that has helped to make us safer.
