I didnt and neither did my therapists. here where I am its illegal for treatment providers to "call out" alters. or make someone dissociate on purpose for meeting/ speaking with their alters.

instead I and my treatment providers worked my treatment plans of learning how to take care of my triggers, how to remain grounded and aware instead of dissociating.

with me my alters were the result of extreme trauma and my dissociating because of that trauma, which resulted in my alters being created. in order for them to come forwards or take control I had to be so triggered that I would have my dissociation problems.

if I purposely caused myself to dissociate then my treatment provider would have rediagnosed me as having something different instead of DID.

in other words all my life my alters were just naturally taking control/ coming forwards any time I was triggered. it was not something I controlled/ made happen. it was something that happened to me.
