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.

Hi Allegra, Mary & others....I agree with your comment above. I said "core" person merges with the "separate" ones but that's only cause I couldn't think of how else to word it. I think the reason I never considered *I* was cause I didn't consider myself or feel broken. I agree too that the more people who talk about it the less scary (my opinion) it becomes.
Thanks for chatting about this with me.
