One point to remember here is that even though the motivation for one’s behavior may be unconscious, an ego state is not a dissociative experience. Therefore, when acting from a particular ego state one is still aware of the behavior itself.

There are seven positions on the dissociation continuum:
wow - i had no idea there was such a continuum. the info you've given has been extremely helpful!! a little scary...but helpful!

i say scary because there are things from my past that i haven't wanted to believe had an affect on me. though my two best friends (a married couple) are convinced they did. kind of makes me wonder if perhaps they are right. (they're always right ... i swear it's like i have two sets of parents sometimes! *pouts*)

please know, i do appreciate the time you've taken to compile and post this information!!! i am reading!!
