Sherri: Hi CBM....it sounds like your therapist has a handle on it....lucky you!
Like I can control the others (not), but if we had a common goal to work for, a life theme, we can or did do that. But now we all are wanting to seperate because if we do, we now can get help. Pretending to be one person means that you're not really looking for help.
Funny thing about the hat saying...everybody wears different hats, but we special ones have an other part for each hat! :P
First off, it's not other people inside of you, it's just a dissociated part that can be integrated through therapy work- to become part of you where it should of been but we have a disposition to fragment.
It takes a lot of pain to get better, or so I heard. One has to go back to the trauma to have it resolved....Idk myself, that's what I've heard.
Keep trusting your T and fear not the process. Good luck! (Envious)
