Guess cuz it's a defense mechanism knowing u can do it then u use it but other parts can use it against u too...not cuz they r being malicious I think back to cuz they r defending themselves or think they r defending me. Cuz we all have different prime purposes and I might not think something is harmful to me but another part sew it as a trigger to them or threat to the whole..I guess that's what the best way I can explain sorry if I'm just repeating what other posters already said... my bad~♦ |
I think that was very well said. It puts it in an order that helps me to see why a part might appear to be trying to hurt us but may just be reacting to a trigger and thinks it's helping. I think that is why internal communication is so important. maybe the most important. I still have parts who don't know exactly what another part is doing but we all seem to have a collective understanding of who we would like to be as a whole even though we are parts.
