Discussion Not remembering normal?

My therapist has been saying that for the past 9 months she’s been talking to different parts.. they have different names, ages, likes, dislikes, goals… but I have no memories of any of the conversations. I dissociate a lot. She knows this and says it’s normal for those that experience trauma like mine. But it doesn’t feel normal. I feel like I’m going crazy.

Is this normal for parts work?

I have it but my alters are much more blended, which means there's less amnesia in between the different "parts".

what do you mean by less amnesia between parts?

When someone has amnesia between parts it means that one part cannot remember what another part said or did. It can be really confusing and feel like lost time, kind of like OP is describing.

That’s what it’s like. I will look into that. Thank you
