reserch on switching

Hey guys im setting up a test to try to find out some triggers i have in every day life so im setting up 8 or so webcams with sound to record for 24 hours to try to understand my alters, triggers and what tells of a switch are shown if any. I have a tape recorder to make notes and a note pad what i want to ask is if any one has any sujestions to anything more i need thanks.

What a good idea

Just some thoughts ... maybe you need to repeat the test a few times

Also my alters like to be creative. Often they can express themselves much better through a drawing, poem, collage etc. Obviously i don't recognise yours and so a suggestion is to leave out some creative materials - pens, pencils, crayons, paper, paints etc - whatever you have to help them and also see what they express in another way than words.

Also again from personal experiences my alters would be FREAKED out if they discovered the recording devices due to bad experiences in the past where others recorded us. If you think that recording devices may be something scary for them maybe you need to inform them of your intentions before you do the experiment and give them a few days to see how they react. I can now communicate directly with some of my alters but some i have to communicate through messages which always take a few days to process and depend on when those alters are out (or not)

Good luck. Let us know (if u feel like it) how you get on and what you observe

I did think about how my alters would react but i must admit like most of these sort of idea Paige thought of it so by time i got to hear it she had already worked out most of the detales its not the first time eather she made a thred here called " Q&A with Paige" that helped alot.

I was thinking of doing a full week at a time i can get a bigger hard drive but i dont think it will help so i will just repeat it at different times, also my friend Sam will be keeping her eyes out for things out of my house i cant record.

I plan on wrighting up notes and eventually putting it togeather to try to help my T understand but if i find out anything note worthy i will post it
