Celebrating a quiet moment

Seems like my alters have been quite busy lately, but right now, all is quiet on the inner front and I am grateful. Celebrate the moment!

You may not like this suggestion and I certainly can't speak for how your system works best. But you might use a quiet opportunity like this to thank your alters for allowing you to have some calm. You might also ask them if there's anything you can do to make their life easier. It's far better when everything is calm to look to build better communication and trust, than when everyone is triggered and there is chaos. If you already have communication and trust and, like you, they prefer that they remain quiet, then...never mind. Note of course that this comment is coming from non-host alter who wouldn't want my host wanting me to be quiet. Apologies if this turned your celebration upside-down in any way.

I too am having a couple of days of quietness after a couple of intense days previous to that. I too am grateful to have some time to spend some quality time with friends. Everyone inside is still around but now that we have a designated place (therapy) for them to turn to they have less of a need/desire to come out elsewhere. I'm still aware of them and listening to them though. I feel incredibly lonely otherwise, it's very eerie when they are actually not around.

Thanks Johnny-Jack and bourbon. The quiet didn't last too long! I do make the effort to learn what my alters need and to include them in things, but as the host I do reserve the right to enjoy a moment of radio silence...as long as it's not an ominous one, as in: things are a little tooooo quiet lately....

Pretty smooth sailing today and I am grateful.
