my system would not be like any "case" that can be found on the internet, in movies or books. why because usually those things end up being a mixture and most times end up being proven to be more laden down in information for ratings rather than what actually happened with these famous cases that the movies come up with to rake in the money.
instead my treatment provider once described my system as a circus, with each alter showcasing their own talents, challenges and faults (their sense of agency) any time they were in the spotlight (in control) and I agree. A friend of mine called my system a well sewed quilt with each pattern alone different with its own beauty but yet essential for protection against the cold.
thinking about it now I know i was nothing like whats out there on sybil, or any of those that appear on talk shows, nothing like tara and all that movies, books and talk shows are made of. my system was comprised in the way it was in order to survive the extreme trauma I went through. they each had their own sense of agency that was nothing compared to the likes of famous people.
