I know that with my husband's process, it started by everyone coming to understand they were all part of the same team, and that he was part of the team, and they needed to work together. As they worked together better, they didn't need to be separate anymore. He says they are in there still, but that they aren't disconnected from each other so that they don't have to take turns anymore. There's one who still comes out to see me sometimes, and he says kinda the same thing - nobody is gone, but they all work at the same time together. I don't understand it all, but I know that there's a lot more peace inside him, and a lot less conflict.
