based on what you posted

I see that you have co consciousness (the ability to know who your alters are, what they are thinking, what they are doing and why.... all those kinds of things that comes with co consciousness)

maybe as you are packing and moving you can think inside or talk inside or aloud saying things like...yes it is scary to move and I know that some of you are thinking we cant be happy. rather than think about happiness how about thinking about how in this new place there will be plenty of room for (an activity that those who think everyone shouldnt be happy, likes to do or has always wanted to do)

my point include them in the process so it doesnt feel like only one or two are making this hard decision to move. make it a family affair where everyone is included, everyone's point of view is considered.

heres a question to think about... in the past when decisions to move had to be made what was the circumstances... one time when I had to move due to circumstances beyond my control it made me angry. at first I thought it was a dissociative thing. but then my treatment provider and I started talking about the move and how unfair it was for management to sell the property and not tell the tenants, just one day get a 30 day notice due to property sale. I realized that anger and child like thoughts\behaviors of wanting to throw a temper tantrum, break things and yell scream and what have you was a completely normal reaction to the situation. my treatment provider told me that its perfectly normal for people to do this when life changes out of our control happen. depression and anger are very high on the list of feelings people normally do have when facing something like having to move.

now that I know in non dissociative \normal situations sometimes moving does naturally cause a person to feel angry... my opinion is so why not the same for dissociative people right,

my point is maybe this feeling you are having is completely normal given the situation.

my suggestion if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers. they will be able to help you release these anger feeling regardless of what the root cause is.
Yes I have co consciousness. My system isn't set up in the way you suggest. We have ones who know what is best for us and make the big decisions. Some don't always agree but we trust the ones in the world to make decisions in the best interest of the body and us. I think the issue is more about feeling happy and that feeling of happy triggered one of my young ones who holds a lot of anger. So why would feeling happy be a trigger for anger. I think it's because happiness was not something we often felt. And most supposed happy events like birthdays and holidays would be turned into violent mean hurtful events. So I actually feel that feeling happiness is something some of us associate with something bad. Something that will lead to danger. It has helped me to put this in a post. It's helped us to try to see if there is logic to my parts anger. And there is. And it's ok if he feels that way. We now just need to talk more and help him through the move and me feeling happy.
