Have any of you noticed during high stress time an Alter takes over?

can high stress cause alter to take over....
short answer...
for some people stress is the trigger for what causes their alters to take control
for others no stress is not the trigger for what causes the alters to take control....
each persons internal system of alters is comprised in what ever ways that person needed to survive the horrific abuses they went through.
did I notice during high stress times an alter would take over....sometimes yes sometimes no i didnt notice....
noticing things like when an alter takes over falls under the word ...
co consciousness...thats when someone is aware their alter exists, can hear their voices, can be aware at the same time that alter is in control, know what their alters are doing/saying....
I had only limited co consciousness with my alters which means I rarely knew when one was in control as it was happening. with therapy I learned how to locate the triggers that caused my alters to take control (in other words what my alters jobs/purposes/reasons for being was) so I know I had alters that took control each with their own type of stress they handled for me because I was unable to handle those things.
