Joining this forum provides me with the ability to share and have others share their experienses adn thought with me. that leads to better understanding.
I guess maybe, if I understand what you have said correctly, I lived my life through my alters. The 'body born person' wasnt there for me until after years of therapy. I think that body born person was lost when I was very very young and the alters pretty much lived my life for a good long time.

It sounds like the forum is doing for you what it ought. It's incredibly reassuring to connect with people who actually have a clue what one is experiencing.
The body born, host thing makes me uncomfortable. I'm early in the healing process and I'm older so sometimes discouraged about what is possible for me.
I think, like you, the "body born" person got buried at a very early time.
I have trouble with the term though. I mean, human beings, as infants are at the beginning of their human development. If then, the person goes through trauma and dissociates with parts, the "body born" person becomes the result of those experiences. If an infant has a healthy supportive life, the adult is connected to their early experiences. In extreme dissociation, the adult(s) are disconnected from various experience sets, but somehow all the parts are related to that little infant, right? Even if they don't know it or want to admit it. In some sense all the parts are variations on the theme of the infant or body born person, right?
