I too have a patient and generally awesome team of 3 therapists. I am very fortunate to be able to see all 3 of them. But I sure am a lot better than I was 4 years ago. My goal is to have the whole system cooperate most of the time and to react to triggers without panicking. I've heard different definitions of what "health" looks like for people w DID. One theory is that parts will start to merge together as they resolve whatever they need to, so that the two or more will act together and think together. That has happened for me with Eve/Jodi and Cindy/Grace and is starting to happen with Bonnie/Alice/Jodi/Eve. All are adults; I think it is harder for the kids. Another theory is that the parts speak up less and less as they resolve stuff and the whole system can function without having strong triggers or dissociation interrupt.
