Hi Gus, I'm new and thanks for this.

Yes, it makes sense: Amy is emotional and Hippo is Mr. Spock.

It seems to work a bit differently for me, though. I have very severe PTSD, so much so that I went through a lengthy psychotic period--the delusions helped me function day-to-day during a lengthy period of abuse. What is weird is that I was mostly very calm and rational throughout this delusional period. While all these other things I was perceiving weren't real, I actually dealt with them very constructively 99% of the time. Although, in the end, the remaining 1% of the time, I lost it completely and had to be hospitalized. So Amy eventually overpowered Mr. Spock.

Also weird, now that I'm no longer delusional, I am far less functional than I was when I was delusional. In fact, I'm barely functional now that I am living "in the now." Anyone relate to that or have any thoughts on it?
