sent you a pm earlier about clarifying my earlier post.

in reference to ANP.....here in my location an ANP is different than the body born person. here in my location an ANP is a part of ones personality that appears to be normal but is not the normal self. confusing I know. heres an example based on my own locations definitions....

I (the body born person) is getting ready for work. I know there is a stressful meeting to attend at work. I start feeling my dissociation symptoms (numb, foggy minded, disconnected) because I am dissociated I switch into an apparently normal part (ANP) part of me, I am still aware of what is going on but I the body born person am like a back seat driver, watching from a distance while this other part of me appears to be me how I normally am, taking care of work related stuff. After the triggering meeting I suddenly start feeling fully in control again, not dissociated, not distanced.

by my locations standards every human being has these normal parts of self and some peoples parts of self are more separated than normal but not to the standard of DID. these more separated but different than having DID pats instead of doing a job purpose, reason for being that is different than the one they reside in they appear to be normal appear to be just like the one they live with in.

all my DID associate alters have been integrated but I still have a few ANP's who when there is something I can not handle they are in control as if I the body born person am in the back seat watching but not participating.

hope these examples helped to clarify my posts a bit more.
