keep in mind integration and co-consciousness are not the same thing. co-con is the alters still existing but sharing their emotions, thoughts, and sometimes even tendencies with their host. integration is becoming one with the alters: no more switching, being a single being rather than multiple in one. co-con can happen because the alter wants to share with you or because he or she thinks you are ready for it.
keep in mind, im no doc or anything... just done a lot of research... alex

integration is what the brain does when you have healed and can handle things without having alters. the alters are still there just in a different way. you dont hear their voices anymore because you now everything, everything that was the alters becomes you.. example... My alter Sunny remembered climbing trees. I did not have any memory of climbing trees. one day the voice in my head that was Sunny disappeared and I remembered being a little girl climbing trees with my friends. My alter Rainy didnt like thunder and lightening. her voice was scared and shaken inside my head.. one night it was raining, thundering and lightening out. I noticed I was scared when I had never been afraid of storms before. I stood there holding the candle and realizing Rainy's voice was gone but I was afraid and I now remembered why the storms had been so scarey that I had dissociated into rainy. My alter Meg was a whiz at math. one day I noticed her voice was gone but I had no trouble at all balancing my check book. thats what integration is like.. going from being you and the alters to being you and everything the alters were is now you. they dont leave or die, they just become mixed in with you. kind of like my therapist explained to me take two glasses of water one cold and one hot. they are separate. now poor both glasses of water into a third glass. all the water is still there just all mixed together as one glass of water working together to form warm comfortable water. dont get me wrong it is a scary thing sometimes because its not what your used to.. going from hearing voices to hearing no voices, going from having no feelings because all the feelings are in the alters to feeling all kinds of things... talk with your treatment providers they can help you through what ever is going on for you. |
