A question, Betty -can you recognize your alters in aspects of your own self now? Or is it like they never existed at all?
I do wonder if a couple of our alters have integrated. One we were talking about in therapy the other day... when I realized we hadn't seen that part of us around for quite some time now. And then I was overcome with emotions and memories that previously would have been hers. It was odd. I wondered if she might have integrated, thus I was feeling and remembering "her" stuff.
It was odd. I suppose I didn't think of any part of me as being "her" still. There was just the awareness that the feelings and memories that I was experiencing used to be hers.
