I just had a big realization... I saw more than a couple people here referring to "analytical" or "intelligent" as a different part. I always wondered why, when I go to see T1, I can talk very well, but as far as we're concerned I have no trauma. She knows it happened but when I'm with her, I just don't know what she's talking about and when I try to answer her questions, I either deny it or the part of my mind that makes words just goes grey.

But when I go to T2, he brings all the kids out somehow, he knows the truth, but I sure can't say anything smart about it! Nothing I say makes sense there. But he tells it all to T1 which is how she knows. And it's ok with me, it's our arrangement and T1 is good at other things.

I never knew about parts beyond the directly trauma-related ones. But I guess they've been here all along.
