My t says the same thing as amandalouise about co consciousness. T gave me the visual using her hands...she put one forward and one back, representing one part being out and the other being in. Then she put them both forward, and called this co consciousness. For me, it kind of feels like my mind automatically puts out whoever is needed to get through each moment (when I am in public, I can feel them with me and I can feel a struggle to keep everyone in "check" to keep up the appearance of having it all together. When I am in private...they come out, and I feel I have very little to no control). I hear them fighting and having polar opposite opinions all day long though (sometimes this does come out in my speech as well), and trying to steer me all over the place. Sometimes there are shared memories, sometimes not, sometimes I am emotionless, sometimes over emotional.

For instance, right now I have a part that is asking me why the hell I'm writing this, it's private (there is more to that, but this part likes to cuss a lot haha). They are also saying that I'm not making any sense or I am misrepresenting them...I'm telling them that if anyone else can gain anything from our experience, then that is a good thing. By doing this, I am also trying to understand them better, maybe we will get more answers and a better understanding as well.
