poly-fragmented vs. "traditional" DID

[orek]

I've been reading about this lately and there is a group for this on another survivor site that has me thinking:

We were aware of being poly-fragmented when we were first diagnosed back in the early 90s, but after a bad experience with that counselor and another after, we pushed everything under and had to start all over again when we finally ventured into therapy again years later. We had to reintroduce the fact of the abuse, then the DID, organically and from scratch just to make sure we weren't wrong about it all. So after 9 years with a wonderful trauma T (who retired last summer) who helped us accept the reality of the abuse and eventually did diagnose our DID, bringing us to the point where the relationship between upfronters and insiders is not so antagonistic, we are moving forward with a new trauma t who also works with the neuro-physiology of trauma. Excellent!

But after finding the poly-fragmented DID (sub)group and getting so excited because I relate so much to what they write, including often feeling a bit on the fringe of "traditional" DID experiences, I am starting to remember more about fragments and/or insiders that I had become aware of during the early DID discovery years and some of their feelings and experiences that still feel so real. I never decided I wasn't poly-fragmented through my rediscovery years; I just forgot about the concept and term, even while holding an awareness of the feel of it inside.

In short, I never thought to bring it up with my retired T (that I can recall), and when I asked my current trauma T about it, who has more experience with DID than my last one did, she said she never heard of it and was going to research it. But I get the impression that she's skeptical. So my question is this: anyone here ever heard of it or relate to poly-fragmented DID? I am so hungry for feedback and more understanding on this, and I can't find a whole lot about it just Googling it. Thanks.
