Ok. . .

Does anybody else know WHO their inner parts are? What about "mapping?" Is that a term that everyone is familiar with or is it unique to the type of couseling I'm undergoing? Do you guys have good parts and bad parts? What do you think about the bad parts? What about the opposite gender parts or the child vs adult parts?

I've been patiently waiting. . .hoping I'd read some answers on here without having to ask the questions, but I don't guess that's gonna happen. Hahahaaa

Wow..lots of good inquiries..lets see

1. Yes & No
2. Dunno..cant speak for everyone..just ourself(s)..but yes know about mapping
3. Yes us gals & guys have both
4. Persecutory alter..best to talk with your T about those..IMO...they can be a bit difficult if triggered ..maybe a bit is an understatement..oy vey..
5. See all of the above..

Gracey you ask alot of good questions and it sounds as if you have a therapist who understands the Dissociative Disorders, if he/she is doing mapping, so hope as therapy progresses that the many questions you are asking about will be answered, also wish you well with your healing and recovery..it is an arduous journey...so I wish you strength too..take care..

I hear you and I hope you find the answers you are looking for. This is not a good time for me so I cannot answer your questions. But I do hope that you hang on. You are being thought of.

I was able to decipher some of that, but I never could keep focus long enough to really do alot with it.

The closest I got was an analogy of my system to a lighthouse. There were very few distinct parts that I could place in the lighthouse, but my goal was what was important...all parts walking the headlight with me.

hi Gracy,
mapping for me would be finding out who innies are and what they want / need to be calm feel safe. for some it is the teddys ... I carry everywhere little ones others paint some write... me chats ... some love work ... some cope with work until i back all live and care for our home-body

and finding protector who keep all safe and take care of our home and know wen lils are upset and what to do

Phew, yea, what everyone else said and more.

As far as "bad" parts, I don't think they are bad, but I do have parts that are very dangerous to self, not sure about others. My t actually ended up triggering a part out, I don't know if intentionally or not, but it was needed because things were going on that needed to be addressed and quickly due to the danger. My advice in general is to stick close to your T and let her know as you can, anything that is going on that needs to be addressed. I can't imagine going through this journey without a knowledgeable therapist to help guide. Best of luck Gracey.
