Abby..... I did some checking on this for you. your location (India) does.... not .....use the term structural dissociation.

your location uses the term core components...... (the standard of 5 core components of dissociation.)

this is different than what you see online in terms of structural dissociation. it doesnt rate dissociation and alters according to importance and which alter sprung from who and parts of self like ANP/EP

The core components explaination and treatment standard works on the whole person based on the 5 core dissociative symptoms of amnesia, depersonalization, derealization, identity confusion and identity alteration. your location works on these as all one whole person not separate parts of self. (no EP's , no ANP's no alternate personalities, in otyher words they do not designate separation of self. )

treatment focuses on learning how recognize and treat each of these 5 core problems. example if someone was having amnesia not only does the treatment focus on the amnesia but also the feelings of depersonalization, derealization, being confused as to what your identity is and those times when you feel like more than one person. no names are given to those feelings of being more than one person.

example if my treatment provider was using the core system and I told her I feel like I am more than one person. the treatment provider would not ask me for Rainys name or promoting rainys separateness from me. they would instead say something like

yes identity alterations can happen to anyone with any mental disorder lets work on this, when you feel like more than one person what does it feel like...

it feels like the other one is a scared.

what does it feel like to you.

it makes me feel scared and a bit strange because I feel distanced.

thats ok to feel depersonalization when you are going through identity alteration. do you remember when today you started to feel this way

no I just noticed it.

thats ok its common for amnesia to happen sometimes when feeling like more than one person (identity alteration) can you explain any more about how you are feeling

no

ok look around and tell me what you see. (grounding exercises that work for all 5 core dissociation problems)

mind you this is just an example. your treatment providers will probably take more time with you in your sessions explaining about the 5 core dissociation standard and how they want you to work through the process.
