Yes,exactly,we can only be experts about ourselves.I think that's a huge thing for those with DID,those going through integration, etc.,staying true to their own personal experiences. It's what helped me heal from DID and no longer having the diagnosis.All the things I talked about in therapy,all my experiences were/are mine.It wouldn't have been/be helpful to tell my therapist how I thought/think it should be or what I had read or heard anyone else say,of course.
I knew you weren't asking if a part had integrated. I was just making sure you knew I wasn't trying to tell you whether it had or not but that I had similar experiences. That's how I feel it should be,share experiences without saying that's how it is or should be for anyone else.
