I am glade for the clarification thank you amandalouise.
The reason I found this list helpful is that it gives me a frame work to identify aspects of my system. In the beginning it was extremely difficult to explain to my t how my others functioned. I have fragmented alters who only hold an emotion without the memory, I used to refer to them as one dimensional, I have alters that only do a one thing, I have alters who act out related to trauma but are not verbal, I have others who function in the world but present very differently, and on and on. It is difficult for me to understand what is "normal" brain functioning and what is dissociative functioning. It helps me to see that all the stuff in my brain can exist wither it be due to ptsd, ddnos or did. I think it helps us to see ourselves and each other.
