Some people refer to switching alters as dissociating and some just mean spacing out. It confuses me. I switch alters and don't lose any time. This just means that my parts aren't as separate from each other as they would be if I lost time.

I had a small part that would repeat one sentence over and over in my head. I wrote a poem to her, I've written some to the other young ones, and encouraged her to watch me until she felt comfortable trusting me to talk to. Since I've learned about different parts we've kind of formed a family-like bond. I've realized I couldn't have survived without them. That realization and encouragement from my t to ask the questions and listen for answers without judging has made a huge difference in my healing.
