I integrated 7 years ago. The hardest part was getting used to the silence. The best part was having continuous memory for the first time in my life. I own myself, finally. I still have trauma to resolve but my integrated self is solid. I can bear the memories without fragmenting. 25 years ago I went into treatment so fragmented I lost whole weeks. It was a step by step process to get parts to talk, coordinate with each other, problem solve as a collective unit, then collectively agree to integrate. It was a natural process.
