each of my alters had their own sense of agency (you can read more about this in my link at the bottom of the post) and I had my own sense of agency.

this was a cause for disruptions because I would be doing things according to my locations laws, and such and my alters were doing what their sense of agency was, which was different than mine.

on rare occasions the disruptions were things where an alter was in a between a rock and a hard place situation (your words in a bind and bound). This situation of being between a rock (their sense of agency) and a hard place (what they wanted to do/try/ change/ act on something other than their sense of agency...)

usually the situation worked itself out either by that alter learning through therapy or being hospitalized not to act out in harmful, unlawful ways. that change is good but they are in the system for a reason and with out their doing their part all chaos happens that may include everyone being hospitalized. the result is my alters knew what their sense of agency was and most times thats what and how they were, and when on those rare occasions they needed to act out, they found ways to do so in safe, non harmful ways that also was with in their sense of agency.
