Do you think a system could awaken at any age? Do you think it’s possible for someone who’s been going through life dissociated but not…”shifted out” to one day suddenly develop an alter? What does it mean to have an alter “awaken”?– 🍉💌
It’s our personal belief, and the belief of many on the greater plural community, that plurality can manifest, awaken, or be discovered at any age.
Clinical purists of the “model of structural dissociation” often dispute this, but they aren’t even getting their own clinical arguments right.
We use the term “awaken” for our own system members because we believe that we have a broadly fixed system and all of us have always been here, but dormant.
Other plurals use the terms “manifest”, “appear”, “be created” etc to describe new members coming into their systems.
We don’t use the terms “alter” for ourselves as that is specifically clinical DID language.
Please feel free to ask follow up questions.
