Most of the time I am here and I make sure we present appropriately in public. But the other day I wasn't at my session, someone else was, he was a protector. This is the first time I remember not feeling pushed aside, I just wasn't there, but I remember the session. I was aware of what was being said. I hadn't met the alter speaking but I was familiar with him. I don't believe I am the person born. I understand myself as the greeter, but I have never had an experience like that and I am trying to figure out why I remember most of the events of the session but clearly felt I wasn't there for any of it. I don't know how to explain this better. If this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know.

I would say this is a step toward co-con. Rather than being bound and gagged and knocked out in the back of an abduction van, this is more like having been in the back seat, listening, consciously sharing the same vessel, but not necessarily watching.
If this doesn't make sense, I can try to come up with something else, but a car is the best thing I can think of.
Good luck!

my treatment providers called this many different things like delusional thinking, hallucinating and co consciousness depending upon other accompanying symptoms.

we cant tell you what it is in you so you might want to contact your own treatment providers that can tell you what is going on in you.

I thought co consciousness meant that I would be there along with who ever else wanted to talk. But I wasn't there. I didn't feel pushed aside. I wasn't there for any of the session, but I remember the "get it done alter" showed up at the session first and than faded when the emotions became involved. Than the one who don't feel bad things showed up and finished the session. I remember going outside after the session and thinking about how fresh everything smelled and how bright it was. I went to my car and slept for about fifteen minuets, than got up and drove home. I don't recall ever having an alter speaking and me not being next to or behind them. I just don't know what to make of it. I did tell my t but I am not sure she can relate. The experience I had was new to me as far as I know.

around here where I live and work the word " co consciousness" describes being /having awareness of the other alters. that can mean many things...

being aware that there are others,
hearing the voices of the alters
feeling what the alters feel
being able to communicate with the alters on some level
being aware while an alter is in control example knowing what the alter is doing and saying.

there are many different ways a person can be co conscious with those within one body.

this word may mean something else where you are.

my suggestion contact your treatment providers they will be able to tell you if what you are dealing with is called co consciousness where you are or not.
