Luce, no one really knows before therapy what we are, unless you was someone into the topic of psychology and just happened to wonder based on a set of criteria, but it still would take a diagnosers to validate that ...Once in therapy Inside starts to let on and can bring forth voluntary even out of our awareness the best thing to do is pay attention try to replicate if you feel this alter is for this/that, then see if it works. I tend to think, it is best not to know the system through and through especially if you only been at a couple years.
