In reply to Ego states, posted by Dinah on March 22, 2004, at 20:37:09
A few months ago I wouldn't have thought it possible to have hidden ego states. Now I know it to be true. I think circumstances and people can call out different parts of our psyche...
I keep my younger self hidden too. But I now have a clear perception of when "she" is upset or wants to have an opinion about something. I still find is disconcerting to note the split parts of myself and how they can want completely different things. However, my inner child has not taken control of behavior nor do I lose time.
My Therapist likes to talk to my younger self, but he always asks permission before he does. He points out different "voices" when I don't notice or he'll ask "who's voice is that talking." But he is very psychodynically oriented so I'm sure he believes in DID.
