So if we are at work we are one alter but if suddenly something dangerous came up we would be another alter because the alter who works doesn't physically protect us. My entire system functions like this. So how would we be able to have one alter dealing with many situations. I don't know how to do that. I don't have a structure in my mind where I can do that
Hello. Maybe you know more about this than you think. You say that the alter who works doesnt protect you and that another one does that job. There is some 'awareness' here in what you say. It is any awareness that might be shared that can be useful. Do you ahve nightmares or anything that bring you abck to a certain place or time? Are there activities that bring out different viewpoints/alters?

Be patient with yourself and tell you doc you dont undestand what she is asking. Be honest and take care.

We are aware that there are others but not everyone can talk to each other. There are three groups that are the major part of our system. Some can hear what someone in another group is saying but they dont talk to each other. So I can here what someone says to my t but thats it. I cant participate in the conversation, also I may not know what the others are talking about amongst their group. It is never like me or my group is fully aware of everything that gets said. Right now my t is talking to all the groups at the same time. If she gets their attention they can all hear her. But as soon as she starts to talk to a particular part the other two groups fade back and stop listening. In fact at next session I am going to ask her if she could ooccasionally ask if everyone is listening just to keep everyones attention. Its funny, you dont know what you dont know until soneone tells you.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
