Hi everyone. I just thought I would let you know that we were finally able to get rid of the evil introject of our abuser. This introject has been causing lots of havoc here at the hotel and sometimes reenacting acts of abuse and violence. It has been a long road and it was difficult, but we finally did it and it was group effort. Everyone here had to pitch in and if we did not work together, I don't know that we could have done it. We also found two new ones, a little, Phoenix, and a protector, Brad. So we would just like to welcome them to the hotel and also introduce them to our PC family. Thanks for all your support everyone!

Congrats JDK!!

How long have you all and T been working towards getting rid of the introject? What type of skills and treatments did your T use to help you through this?

I have my own introject that I will someday need to be rid of and I'm very scared about this. How long has it taken you to be successful with this? What was your time frame from diagnosis to being rid of your introject?

Sorry for asking so many questions. I know every one is different, but for some reason knowing the timeframes that others have had with their goals helps me to know that there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks.

Elysium,

I didn't get diagnosed with DID until last year. I've been in the mental health system for 14 years and I finally started understanding what was going on with me last may. I fortunately have a really awesome C who doesn't give up. He has stuck with me through all the tough times this past year. To be perfectly honest, C didn't know about the evil introjects until last November. And we used love (lots of it!) and trickery and lots of faith to get rid of them. The previous two were like cake compared to this last one. "She" was the worst one. C basically called her out and quite literally wrestled with her and inside we all worked together to shove her into her coffin and buried her. Somewhat unorthodox in practice but quite necessary and effective. I couldn't have done it without him and everyone else inside. It was truly a group effort. He told me I was being ruled by this evil and quite honestly I was and I knew it. I just didn't know how to get rid of it. He helped me so much and now that "she" is gone, I can start rebuilding my life and move forward. It is the best feeling. As for time frames??? Well, it has been a year almost and so I would say a year since acknowledging my diagnosis to getting rid of the evil that had resided in my mind for the past 26 years. I wish you well in this process, Elysium. If there is anything else I can answer for you, feel free to repost or PM me.

please pardon my ignorance........ what is an introject?

[justdontknow]

Possum,

An introject is an alter of an actual person that you know on the "outside". My introject was a combination of some of my abusers. "She" acted and treated me, on the inside, just like some of my abusers did out here in the outside. Does that make sense? That's what my introject was anyway.

Possum,

Justdontknow is absolutely right on. I have an alter named David who, although he is a part of me, is a part that carries many of the mannerisms and abusive tendencies that my Father had towards me. It's not necessarily a part that serves a protective purpose per se, but a part that serves to tear down the system and keep us stuck. I've heard they can be some of the most difficult parts to manage.

JDK....

Thanks for the info. I was just diagnosed in March of '09 myself and I'm stuck in this pattern of keeping myself in crisis mode so I don't have to deal with issues. I never realized this until recently, how much the system (me/us) has sabotaged things to a degree, in an effort to protect ourselves from the pain.

That is really good news and I am sure that it was a lot of work. Finding those parts is hard. We had one called little mama. She was in the likes of mama and it would cause so much havoc within our system. She was in a box and she was very real to those within and she could cause those within so much fear as she would have the mannerisms of mama and the voice and would talk just like her. It was hard to figure that out for the longest time.

You are doing awsome work and I am glad your C is there for you as you work through this. Having someone in your corner that understands and believes makes so much difference. When those within can start trusting enough to help us that is something. It takes time and each one is different. I know walking this road is hard and long. But you are doing it. Good job.

Know that we are here for you and we are listening. We care so much. Please keep posting and sharing your journey for we draw strength from one another. Thank you for sharing. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
