I was told throughout treatment, no part will act out in a way that is opposed to my root moral compass. Even though the sound of every siren and the sight of a police officer sent me into abject terror that they were after me for some unremembered crime. I always wondered if my parts could commit a crime that I would otherwise never do. My inpatient hospital stay where I was admitted for a year, 2 therapists and my long-time psychiatrist said "absolutely not". Even in parts I had a root moral code that was shared. I was in no danger of hurting another person, acting out violently, or in any way behaving in a way that I would find morally unacceptable. It turned out they were spot on. I can't say sirens don't make me cringe still, but I remind myself they aren't after me. Integration and developing continuous memory was huge in proving my treatment time right.
