here in my location this is not what the term splitting means. here in my location when a person can feel other alters in the sense that they are in your words "with me" this is called co consciousnes and integration where alters begin to start merging together with the one that they reside with in.


this can happen naturally due to an alters job, purpose, reason for being created, and separation of everything the alters are (sense of agency) is no longer needed, or needing to be separate (dissociated) from the person they reside with in. or it can happen with the help of a treatment provider by helping the alter to feel safe and in a safe place and ready to be part of the whole rather than by their self. (most people in my location it happens naturally whether a person with DID wants integration to happen or not, just part of the healing process)


here in my location the term ....splitting.... means to see people, places and things as two sided an evil side and a good side...


example i have a family member who sometimes in my mind I consider them to be an extremely bad person and other times I consider this same person to be a very good person. they are never good and bad like normal people to me.


and yes I have gone through this feeling but it happened naturally for me not through a treatment provider guiding my parts to a safe place where they can feel safe and part of the whole.
