It's good, then, that you feel free to speak about the process. The more that people share their integration experience in a nonthreatening way, as you're doing here, and the more that places like MM perpetuate a culture in which all healing choices are safe to discuss, the more that people will recognize and be comfortable with a variety of experiences.

We're not big on seeing the integrated person as the "core" either. We think that taking a "Humpty Dumpty" view of integration, in which the "pieces" are "put together" to make the person whole, is inaccurate and misleading, and that it puts too much pressure on people to think of integration as a a process in which individual insiders disappear. Your description, Jamie, of people coming together naturally and spontaneously, sounds like a much healthier way of moving forward in your healing process.

Thanks for the topic.
