yea my counselor said kind of the same thing she said that as an alter I wont and can't do anything that I haven't already been doing for years. she said something about the dms criteria for DID is about distintion where each alter has a set way to be and they continue being that way. so like today as the alter samantha I am not going to be acting any differently then I did yesterday or years ago as samantha. And t hat everything that my alters do is something that I at one time or other in my life I did that. the only difference is that the memory of my doing that was shut off from my awareness. kind of like going to sleep. that memory of my doing whatever samantha does is is where my aware brain can't get to it. That someday when it is time I will remember being the one doing those things only for whatever reasons it was too traumatic so I shut off that memory in my asleep part of my brain.
