Hi Calmingocean,

I am new to this stuff and happen to be going through something similar (I think) - so I apologize if I am hijacking your thread by asking questions! What do you mean by saying,May I ask how many childlike parts you have? What makes them different? How can you tell they are different? (Only share if you feel comfortable sharing - but I am genuinely intrigued!)

I am intrigued by how you guys and gals seem to discover these childlike parts so easily! How is it that you guys and gals can discover them as being individual and unique unto themselves? Please share! Is it a lengthy process? Am I wrong to say that it is an easy process?

I am in the process of really delving into my issues and trying to pick apart these childlike parts inside me. I share that similar feeling (I assume we feel similarly). I don't believe my issues stem with DID - moreso with complex PTSD and borderline associations with childhood and trauma / arrested development.

My therapist in DBT tasked me with describing how my little looks and what age he / she is... It is proving to be very difficult because part of me feels 15, part of me feels 7 or 8, part of me feels 5, part of me feels 3 or younger... Is this something you guys and gals relate to? Just that there isn't any definitive age or gender that I associate myself with when I think of my little.

Thanks,
HD
