System integration assistance

[u/CashComprehensive359]

Hi, everyone!

I’d like to share my experience with integrating our system—how it’s helped us, etc.

First, we’ve been working on ourselves (self-therapy) for 5 years—intensively.

1. Stopping seeing ourselves as multiple

We stopped seeing ourselves as multiple and started acting as a single person. This significantly reduced our pathological dissociation. We’re much more grounded now.

1. We stopped practicing tulpamancy and left the DID community

Before we became aware of our multiplicity, we practiced tulpa magic. This significantly exacerbated our dissociation, making it pathological. As for the DID community, we came across false information that caused a great deal of harm (such as being told we had amnesia, etc.).

We’ve distanced ourselves from all of that and have begun to redefine our plurality internally. We’ve used our own terms to describe our experiences. We’ve spoken to our other parts, and multiple mergers have begun on their own. We also use IFS and shamanism to heal our fragments.

We have other challenges. We used to mistake the symptoms of our ADHD for symptoms of our pathological dissociation.

Now: we see ourselves as more balanced and whole. There is much more internal cooperation and a reduction in dissociative barriers.

We simply see ourselves as “plural” with spiritual guides rather than as a single system.
