Forming Teams

Does anyone have a part that is made up of other parts? I have one called Parker that's been out a lot and he's the combination of the protector, a child, and a teen with a subpart. I think the whole purpose of Parker is to allow the child time to be nurtured and the teen to heal / cut away the sub part in a safe environment.

Just curious. If it's too private, send a PM, but maybe this could help some people understand their system better.

Do you mean as a subsystem, or the part being a few separate parts blended? Our system has 2 sybsystems (alters with alters). Feel free to message us about it, we are feeling more confident in speaking about this at this point in time.

I have alters that sort of team up with each other.

Serev and Donovan team up and do things, though sometimes it's Quinn and Donovan. Whenever Damien is out, he's usually out with Serev.

Serev's a tricky devil, she seems to think she's everyone, so she mimics them. Donovan has a lot of similarities to her, but there are a lot of differences in how they do things.

Sometimes I dont know whether its serev or donovan out. Or serev pretending to be donovan. It gets confusing.

Sounds like cohosting. I've had that with a few too. Kat and Sam. Night and the five year old. But I'm actually the sum of Kat, Sam, and Night working together--but it's not integration because they can function independently from me.

Kat protects Sam. Sam needs to be out and be nurtured. Kat needs to sever ties from her subalt. Night is the system protector, so he keeps everyone safe if Kat's subalt is too intense. It's like checks and balances, but I have an identity of my own even though I encompass the three of them.

I used to feel like I was in the background, but now I'm in executive control when the three of them work together, but they can still do things through me. It's weird to me.
