But they are still there, fragmented from the rest and running on their own juice. They are still a part of you seperated and clinging on.
They may not verbally communicate, but they still exude feelings, emotions, preservation, they are still scared and need to be brought back in for comfort or they will forever react the only way they know how because of the trauma.
I really wish you and them luck.  |
yes. thank you. i do believe there is a mix of pieces of just memories, fragments, and alters. well, i know that it all exists.
it is difficult because of the lack of communication that actually used to exist. so without that communication, there is no way for them to heal or grow, etc. and you are right that they will keep reacting/responding the same ways if there is no way they can heal.
i know some can and do talk because sometimes i clearly hear a voice saying things, different voices, but a tiny piece of a sentence, and it's when i'm wide awake. other than that though, it's not how it once was with being able to have conversations with them which is what i feel is necessary.
it is exhausting with the revolving door type of situation with so many variations of things from them and trying to function in my daily life among it.
