Ok so, I have, PTSD and DID, which is dissociative identity disorder for those of you who need to be informed. Now, I've been working with my therapist for quite a while and integration has come up sometimes. I know it has not been our immediate goal, but to do EMDR, I have to get everyone in my system, the identities, to communicate and cooperate with each other. I think we are really there.
Right now, there was a point when one of my identities was out for almost two and half weeks a little while ago and my therapist I guess wanted her to cofront with me. If anyone does not know what cofronting is, it's when two or more personalities exist at one time. Basically two of us driving. I guess one of my personalities has been bugging me, the one cofronting why she has been so pushy with getting me, the one she thinks is the host personality to front with her (Eve) for the time being.
Eve likes my therapist and I love her. But to bring it up to why she is being so pushy, because once the other personalities know what her motive is, and if they think it's integration they are all going to hide again for a very long time. But I guess I haven't been losing much time since then and I have 50 or so personalities, and I guess I've had a lot of trauma in my time to account for. Is there anyone that is integrated out there or cofronts with another personality?
I just want to know what it's like for people who have been cofronting or have faced integration. How have you handled it?
