Has anyone felt an 'awakening' of a part?

[Ronin]

Yes and not applicable, to the question.

Therapy or what I am working on trauma work has 0 bearing on who is roundish, in that way. Real life meetings do. As in decades long put away compartments back up, yes, but it would not be about inner work per se, more I handled this better / already / I am needed, YOU are not sidelining. And usually not part, singular, but groups of. So it is not such a shock, either.

Missing my life does not bother me, for all I care sharks can eat it. Missing people who were anchors then, and are not now? Whole another question. And if they are people we whole forgot meanwhile, or blurred away, or something the like? Grief and rage and other fun juju drives me bonkers.

I'm Marvel, 26, PTSD from multiple traumas, mainly my Moms death, witnessing an abusive relationship over 5 years as a child & bullying when I was 6.

The past 24 hours have been bizarre to me. I feel like a part of me has woken up. I've maladaptive daydreamed for a long time, but have managed to stop that about 2 months ago. I thought that was the only dissociative type symptom I had, but I think I'm wrong.

Yesterday it was like I woke up. Like a part of me took over that hasn't been there for a long time. I'm currently doing T & we covered some stuff that was really beneficial, so I think it's part of the healing process.

I'm always aware of where I am & what I'm doing to an extent, but if I was in a car, I'd have been the passenger, not the driver.

I feel quite scared, because it's like I've woken up after 8 years. I still can't remember most of my childhood.

Has anyone else been through this?

Unfortunately i remember most of my childhood but in the last few years things that were really fuked have been coming back, i've been in trauma recovey for a while now and processing things and i think during thoes periods i feel like that too

After that part coming through, I've tried to force other parts through & I'm thinking it just doesn't work like that.

I've got to trust the process my T is taking me through.

I find a part will appear in his own time, often I get a sense that “I’m not feeling myself” and then I will suspect there’s a stirring going on (often due to a recent or upcoming trigger, or therapy discussions). When I try to force this part to appear even though I know there’s a stirring it doesn’t work but I know eventually the part will come the foreground as long as I’m patient and compassionate. I found my parts frightening at first as I didn’t fully understand them, now I embrace them and see them as heroes all in their own ways.
