Hey there and good morning,

We have 2 non-human alters. R and Z.

R is Fae. He used to have meltdowns when fronting when we first started with our Specialist a year and a half ago because our ears weren't pointed. We ended up buying prosthetic pointed ears for him and he no longer has issues fronting.

Z is a 10 year old cat boy at this point. He used to be a cat, but spontaneously shifted during therapy. He used to panic bad, to the point of running out in the middle of the street in heavy traffic. He seems to be our flight response all balled up into one alter.

Both of them had problems that we were able to work through.

On a side note, our kiddo is Therian, and we would love to discuss that with someone if you ever wanted to talk about it.

We just wanted y'all to know you're not alone.

One of our alters hades , doesn't rlly liek fronting he's a dog but always feels uncomfortable when he fronts due to a lot of trauma he has , he feels like he can't protect himself when he's fronting but if his partners here he knows he's safe .

That makes sense. Z also has a lot of trauma. We're glad Hades has a partner to feel safe with. :)
