Hey - well, I think it could be 2 things - and you'll only know for sure from talking with t.

One - It could literally be "the system" as in YOU and how you function. You're going along and TRIGGER and the "switch" is thrown and the system *of dissociation* gets kicked in to protect you.

Two - if could be that your mind is more compartmentalized like BBear and W2H explained and you in fact do have a system of alternate ways of relating to info and stress and have alters that deal with them.

Either way - it's still you. All you. Trust that it will be ok to talk to t about. I remember this stage when I crossed it and I did have to steel myself to push the topic - but i HAD to know.

"And knowing is half the battle" The other is having HeMan or SheRa come in and kick some booty.
