Hello all,
If you don't know yet, I'm new to this whole DID thing. Well, I had a question about the naming of alters. All of mine seem to not have names, and most seem to answer to my name. During therapy today I was hypnotized and my T asked my alter her name. My alter said she didn't have a name but wanted one. After the session she spoke in my head and asked to be called Abigail.
I'm just wondering if this is normal. How did your alters get their names? Did you name them, or did they name themselves? Or did they just surface in your mind with names already? I'm having a hard time deciding how much of this is real, and how much of this is in my imagination. Should I start referring to my alter by Abigail?
Any thoughts or stories about naming your alters would be most helpful. This is all new to me and feels hard to believe. It seems so unreal, yet I know it's happening.
