we were wrighting terms we us within and wonder if they be the same as yours? Or you can share some terms that you use to help us understand how you accept DID better?
Alters- Are parts of the whole that make a person with DID who they are inside. Each one has a special gift that has helped the body to survive that which other could not have done so.
Inner helper: the part of the whole that helps and leads those with in to heal. Other terms used: tribe terms- elders, spirit guides, wise ones, Clan mother and father. Military terms- upper brass, drill sharge, and all the other ranks.
No matter what we call these parts these are the ones we love to hate but still know we could not do what we do with out them. These are the parts that push and pull to help us out of the h*** hole that life has put us into. These are the ones that keep on reminding us that this to shall pass. It hurt now but it will end. The ones that tell us to suck it up it is only pain and that what does not kill you will make you stronger.
Protectors: These are the one that try to protect the body and soul from harm. Body guards- these are the ones with special abilities to keep others from harming the body. They fight first ask question later. Takers- These are the ones that take the abuse and shield the others from the pain of the abuse. The Debaters- These are the one that have learned to verbally to protect the body.
The comforters- These are the ones that hold and rock those that hurt so much with in. It is with their wisdom that brings peace to those that have no one on the outside to feel safe or accepted by.
The egg heads- These are the ones that have a lot of knowledge. They love to learn new things and are not happy unless they are doing something to encourage the whole to learn new things.
Babies- The first one that started to split off the main person. These have no real words just emotions of pain and sadness. With these we feel lost and alone. They only come to the surface when with someone they trust. We hold and rock them when they let us. We have to treat them just like new born. To help heal them there are some that can mind blend with them to tell us how they hurt. This is how we learn their body memoirs.
Young children- These are parts that have been splintered off due to server pain of one kind to another. Each bares the memoir of birth and event that made them to come to be.
Teens and Adults- Each one has the same type of memoirs but each one is unique based on the life style they had to live to keep the body as safe as possibly.
　
The Outside actors
The Controllers -These are the people that know and understand how to use our coping mechanism to their advantage. These are the people with a word or touch can summon a part that they have control over. They have groomed this part to do what they want with out fighting. These people will also use abuse to reinforce the training that they use to control all or just the part that serves their needs. These people will also give others false information to keep the person with DID isolated and alone. These are true predators of the weak.
Therapist/pdocs: These people should be judged by their own action. In our youth we had a couple of good people. These people not only believed in us but helped us to cancel the programming that we received in our early child hood. Some did not even have experience with DID but were willing to help a child in pain. That Therapist/pdoc in present is worthless. They not only taught the community to hate us but encourage others to us our programming against us. In their own way they were no better then the controllers of our child hood or the abusive situation that had brought us here. Hoping for freedom but just found different controllers that hurt us maybe milder then the original ones but still controllers.
Spiritual Helpers- These are the shaman and other spiritual people with in the community that has helped us to heal from the past and present abuse. These are the people that have faith that there is good in all. These are the people that helped us to heal and grow stronger to take back our personal power from those that had taken it away from us.
Predators- These are the people that only have self worth from harming others. When they find others weaker then them they use it to control them.
These people teach others to hate that which is different even if it is just the shape of the persons nose.
True Friends- These are the people that accept you just the way you are. Warts and hanged nose and all. These are the people that have walked a similar path but with different people. We have a common bound of life experiences.
　
DID Terms-
Integration/Co-conscious - When alters are able to share information and communicate with each other. This is when they start to blend together. Some skills become universal between alters.
Body memoirs- This is when the person with DID during recall experience the body pain of past abuse.
Recall- When alters share the memoirs of past abuse and what life was like for them. Some alters have own set of memoirs. Like having a totally different life outside of that of the body. This does not make them wrong it is the alters truth of their life.
Triggers- Person, place, thing, or action that makes a part afraid or reactive to it.
Self-harming- This is to cut or do pills to strike out at the body or person within the body that holds the pain of abuse. Sometimes alters want to be free but feel trapped by the body. Others cut cause the anger of what others do with in the body unit.
The Cold- For us the cold was the forewarning that an alter was coming to the surface. This cold at times can not be escaped until the memoir and alter are joined with the rest of the body crew.

hi I will try to answer as best as I can

System ...all that is me

Inner helpers call them Inner Angels

Protector ... one who comforts/protects in and out
also dealing with triggering situations
Protector controls ..............health of body
.............. si issues

Body... is Home and all have chores to care for home

Worker ... works while Protector is on guard because some work situations are very triggering for only personal reasons ...
{ example ... most men's colonge

eggheads ... never used that term

Babies ... lils

teens ... lil

adult ... only real one is Protector

I rely on Protector to be out also but not tobe out just comfort and saftey

Outside actors ... not really use term but sees same people as Darkness System avoids those who feel like darkness at all possible

Thearpists/pdocs = so long ago and only one who helped make Home system

Spirtual helpers ... called our angels

Preditors ... the sick

Intergration/co-consiousness
intergration is a joining of many into one where memories are owned by that one
co-consiousness memories are shared and so is life

body memories / flasback-feelings of original damage

true friends ... are the angels in our lives..

triggers ... same
objects, smells, sounds, the look of some people

SI = self injury ... a way to surpress anxiety have control over pain stop numbness .... system SI free 2 years

the Cold ... searing/splitting headaches = new memory
don't recall cold
as all have learned to switch seamlessly without most people noticing
only those who know and are closest to system can tell

^i^
cary

A couple of additional points used...there are more but would be too long to say. Thanks Anderson.

The comforters- These are the ones that hold and rock those that hurt so much with in. It is with their wisdom that brings peace to those that have no one on the outside to feel safe or accepted by.
Comforters: the kind internal adults and now trained teen alters that come alongside when hurties and hurtie memories come up and confusions occur
The egg heads- These are the ones that have a lot of knowledge. They love to learn new things and are not happy unless they are doing something to encourage the whole to learn new things.
Aritists and artisans: ones that use their artistic abilities to be able to communicate when there were wordless times
Narrator, editors and writers: when words cannot or need sensoring before coming out of mouth
Babies- The first one that started to split off the main person. These have no real words just emotions of pain and sadness. With these we feel lost and alone. They only come to the surface when with someone they trust. We hold and rock them when they let us. We have to treat them just like new born. To help heal them there are some that can mind blend with them to tell us how they hurt. This is how we learn their body memoirs.
Infant: 'and a child shall lead them', came out first, abused in womb
Young children- These are parts that have been splintered off due to server pain of one kind to another. Each bares the memoir of birth and event that made them to come to be.

The Outside actors
The Controllers -These are the people that know and understand how to use our coping mechanism to their advantage. These are the people with a word or touch can summon a part that they have control over. They have groomed this part to do what they want with out fighting. These people will also use abuse to reinforce the training that they use to control all or just the part that serves their needs.

Hoping for freedom but just found different controllers that hurt us maybe milder then the original ones but still controllers.
Therapists that are kind and care and have concern and knowledge and perseverance to stick through the times and events and who have their own 'good self care' themselves and who having a higher calling, in other words, not just in it for the money or prestige of whatever; we hope and pray new and good therapists will be raised up for helping those who suffer
Spiritual Helpers- These are the shaman and other spiritual people with in the community that has helped us to heal from the past and present abuse. These are the people that have faith that there is good in all. These are the people that helped us to heal and grow stronger to take back our personal power from those that had taken it away from us.
other names: God of our understanding, higher power, spiritual mentors, meditating on good verses from wise writings.

others. When they find others weaker then them they use it to control them.
Perpetrators: those individual that harmed the unborn and born baby and children in the first place by grooming and then attacking physically and emotionally and verballly, includes neglectful ones
These people teach others to hate that which is different even if it is just the shape of the persons nose.
True Friends- These are the people that accept you just the way you are. Warts and hanged nose and all. These are the people that have walked a similar path but with different people. We have a common bound of life experiences.
Friends who get it: others with similar stuff, community of people who believe and accept us, that not have apathy just because the pain is too great for them to look at; the tenacious ones that hate what happens to children in this world and a working hard to find their way into the present.

DID Terms-

Body memoirs- This is when the person with DID during recall experience the body pain of past abuse.

Loving the term Eggheads, Anderson. These parts are voracious learners. Can read ten books at one sitting and absorb, no not always word for word; so curious about everything! They love life in a bookstore or library. Could live there, they think!

This one has a very different meaning for those with DID who have RA in their backgrounds.
