DID What do you call your inner system?

[Deeem]

I called my system parts, inner parts or parts of myself. They also have names .

Various things. I call em, survival instincts, coping mechanisms (beneficial or maladaptive), mental filter, inner critics, perceptual biases, core beliefs, thoughts & feelings (helpful and not helpful), ego (wants/needs/desires).... stuff like that.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I simply refer to my whole being, inside and out, as my cell-ph.

I used to try to meticulously separate each thing out to try to more fully innerstand it all, and that helps greatly with the overall innerstanding of how things basically function, but staying in that mindset only served to work against me, just as it did in my seeking help from the medical and mental health arenas...being sent to this specialist, that specialist, and the other specialist, while none of them seemed to be able to all get on the same page in ever viewing me as a whole being.

Wish I could call it like Tornadic does, but I'm not really there still... I'm a fractured personality so I find the concept of wholeness kinda confusing and overwhelming.

I had a conversation about this today with my therapist. I'm currently happy with facets. She uses the word system, but that seems too divided to me.

Insiders. And most have names.

I don't believe you are a fractured personality. The more you get to know your inner self you will see how gentle these parts can be.

I'm assuming this is a question for DID peeps only?

I think some people are answering from an IFST standpoint, not a DID standpoint.

Just want clarification before answering.

No, if you can be late it's no problem

I try to call them" parts of me", because I know, intellectually, we are all the same. But I also feel like they are different people - after all, they all have their own names, their own sense of self.

Whoops... my apologies, I didn't realize I was on the DID forum category. I don't have DID very sorry about that.
