During these past 3 years I've been under T ..my system consist of 7 alters.
In our T sessions we are now in a stage of new things of my Therapy...now all of the sudden a new alter appear, our protector said this alter was always here in the system..she was just asleep.

How I know if there are more?...just why Lisa show up now?

Maybe Lisa now feels it is safe to show up. Everyone heals at their own pace. Maybe what you are now working in therapy made her comfortable to meet everyone. Try and be patient to see if there are others. Or, maybe the protector can help you know if there are others. Try and let yourself heal as you are ready.

I too agree with BiPolar Bear.

An appearance of a new alter is bittersweet at best. I think it shows that you are reaching an internal place of trust with your T and that the more vulnerable parts are feeling comfortable and safe revealing themselves to T. I see this as a sign of progress. I have had an alter come out before. I have had some that seem to have gone back in and others who have not gone away, but seem to blend with others. In my personal experience, I see my alters as soap bubbles....they are not stationary, they can be blown around by the wind of my life. At times they will be closer to other alters or floating in a group, then at other times they will piggy back with other bubbles for a bit...but they're able to move around a bit. I hope this makes some sense.

Like I said...I think it's good that an alter feels comfortable to come forward.

I have one that's been around for a while.....but all she does is sleep. When she does wake....things get a bit difficult.

Hang in there!! It sounds like your doing really good work with T.
