Our gatekeeper, known as X.

It doesn't work like that. We can't choose to have those memories. They get assigned. I was assigned to be an ANP, or Apparently Normal Part, as opposed to an Emotional Part. I could not perform my role, which is to calm us down particularly in the event of being triggered, correctly if I...

I personally am not a trauma holder and actually have very little knowledge of the traumas we have suffered.

It's an imaginary space because it isn't technically real. It's in our head. Just like if you had a "happy place" or something that you imagined, only it is extremely vivid and feels very real to us. It's more metaphorical and vague than the external world, but to us it feels completely real...

Eight active alters, plus some dormant and some partially formed alters, who exist for one purpose, generally to hold one particular trauma memory. I don't know how many of those there are. I know the names of the other seven active alters, and we know each other fairly well.

I am Ava, and I made this account. As I said, the rest are not Christian and would have no interest in a forum like this. There is no "actual person", and then some alters who are fake people. We are a single person, whose brain is fragmented, and each of these fragments has taken up an...

There really isn't a person "being inhabited". Systems aren't one real person and a bunch of fake people inhabiting or possessing them, it's one person fragmented into multiple identities. These fragments can come and go, some can be more three dimensional than the others, some front more than...

Hello friends :) My name is Ava, and I am a member of what's known as a Dissociative Identity Disorder system. This means I am one of multiple people, known as alters, who exist within this body. This can only occur when a child experiences ongoing and extreme trauma, and the brain fragments...
