We all need to find positive and productive solutions to dissociation. Maybe one is to give ourselves permission to heal and then choose health. <br /><br />Unification rather than fragmentation is possible. It is all in how you believe and view itWilliam Tollefson Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857735501459829201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268632983340518777.post-18862793150852955872017-11-16T07:13:44.958-08:002017-11-16T07:13:44.958-08:00Dear CarlieLu,
Thank you for your comments and yo...Dear CarlieLu,<br /><br />Thank you for your comments and you self-openness. You are powerful, not weak. <br /><br />People who have survived terrible life situations need to understand they did nothing wrong. Single focus can be accomplished by connecting all parts into a network and working together. Dissociation is not bad or a disease. You can make it positive.William Tollefson Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857735501459829201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268632983340518777.post-53184286220740070752017-11-12T19:36:27.851-08:002017-11-12T19:36:27.851-08:00I guess my earlier post didn't take.

But I remember as a young teen (around then and older) it simply became a habit to dissaciate and start over (even though some things weren't as traumatic as earlier stuff)rejecting everything i had done in the past to start afresh, not really knowing what i had done that was wrong (or bring on such terrible consequences). So there are still some parts that seem to keep me from being single focused but they are harder to identify. thanks for "listening"/reading.CarlieLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250027020779529432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268632983340518777.post-3654239756599602392017-11-12T19:29:28.134-08:002017-11-12T19:29:28.134-08:00great post.

One challenge after dealing with so many "colorful" (distinct)characters is that dividing and starting over really became a HABIT that I remember in later years (say 10-12 years old up)I still practiced dividing as it was my coping mechanism, and when something bad happened i couldn't get away from I'd continue to reject whoever I was and start over (not knowing exactly what i was doing that was so unsuccessful but "obviously was"). So i believe there are still unintegrated parts that aren't that significant (colorful-dramatic)butkeep me feeling fragmented instead of single-focused. i don't need to be anonymous but the options below are too confusing, i do go by CarlieCarlieLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250027020779529432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268632983340518777.post-8266494996467611092015-10-05T12:59:08.270-07:002015-10-05T12:59:08.270-07:00Thank you Anonymous for your comment.

I have tried to approach my loved ones and explain my condition but i always end up losing them half way through the conversation. the complexity of the dilemma is too much to understand. I don't suffer from black out or amnesia, we are all conscious that we share a body and damage is the least thing we wanna do, nonetheless in my teen years self harm was present. I have 3 major personalities but i can also sense others lurking. It can be fun when i am alone, but not with other people are around and i ask either of my alters a question. i have learned to live with my condition, and we have grown as a family that wants the best for this body.
