Co-conscious Vs Co-present?

[shimmerz]

I just found a few references to co-present on the internet as it relates to DID (or dissociative disorders). Anyone's T ever reference co-present? Anyone ever heard of this?

Thank you....

I've only heard of co-conscious, but never co-present and I have been steeped in DID information lately. I tried looking it up on the Internet myself and co-present as either used as a synonym for co-conscious or it said that 2 or more parts were present but didn't necessarily recognize that that as the case (that sounds confusing). I looked in a couple of my books and didn't see anything related to co-present. I know that is not much help, but I am interested if anyone else has heard of it. I can ask my therapist tomorrow if I remember.

That would be amazing, thank you JEK. I would appreciate that! Your comment is of great help, as I would like to know if co-present is an actual 'term' that therapists recognize.

Just wrote it on my therapy topic list so as long as I remember to take that out, I will remember to ask!

My therapist had not heard of the term co-present. She was wondering if it is a newly coined term or if maybe it is one that a therapist used and it caught on a little bit.
