when I asked this of my treatment provider and told her why (I could hear a voice I hadnt heard before) she said yes it is possible. that it didnt mean I had a new alter just that I have healed enough to where my mind was ready to release a more in depth part of me to me. that it was actually a good thing and showed great healing and progress when that happened to me. it showed I was ready to handle what ever that alter was and contained on my own..the more i knew and able to handle like this also meant the closer I was to being fully integrated.

then my treatment providers and I had to figure out whether this new voice was part of my DID or part of my psychosis/bipolar symptoms because it could be either or...it turned out to be an alter with my DID.

my suggestion talk with your treatment providers they can assess why this is happening for you.
