What I mean is that some child alters believe they are children and some are emotionally stuck in abuse scenarios. Some parts believe they are male (obviously they are not). A couple believe they are animals (obviously not true either!) Does that mean their (my?) reality testing is not intact?
no that doesnt mean their reality testing isnt intact. whether alters are male or female or animalistic thats part of their sense of agency (who and what they are, how much control they have, what their job, purpose, reason for being is and other things)
Thanks for this!
