Mostly we like Dian. She's nice. She is real smart, knows her stuff. She's a good headshrinker.
She made us real mad though!

She said we were really all one person!

We think that's ri-DIC-ulous! we started out as one people, we have the same body, yeah, but we are NOT still the same person anymore! We haven't been the same person since we were 4.

It's like...if you have a brother, you love your brother but you don't want to merge with him, do you? You don't want to BE him!
We like all being able to talk to each other and take care of each other. That's good for us.
But we don't want to not be...US!!!
We *like* being a committee!

Funny! We had a very similar talk with the therapist today. It's like, yeah, we started out as one person, but we got broken apart and are a bunch of whole people now, not just emotional bits and pieces, and we can't be put together again. We can work together though, and that is what she plans to help us learn to do better.

I don't think a good therapist that really gets MPD needs to state that... If she is doing her job right... Healing will happen and that is what is ultimately important... But that is just my opinion.
We support your healing journey hylie!

Well, we are feeling each other's emotions.
We are not as split off as we used to be.

We talk too. That's pretty cool.

(Just fyi...Shawn is our protector, and...he's 5. He's actually *amazing* at his job. But he's...um, our therapist put it like this? "Disinhibited."

My theory is that I am one body and many souls. Therapists have tried to provide other explanations but they don't fit for me.

Mine tells me I am diamond and as a diamond has many facets so do I. Its amazing she says that I have so many people inside and each of them are unique and precious. and she thinks that we can all function together as united we stand, divided we fall.
