The myth that persecutors/avengers/angry protectors/etc are inherently “bad alters”/”evil alters” needs to stop. I used to believe this and I ended up being openly hostile to several alters (in my system and in others) who are children, trauma survivors who have not yet learned that the world is not as violent as they think it is, or that they can find comfort. If you’re able to safely do so, please try to teach these violent or self-destructive alters that they don’t need to be destructive anymore. It won’t heal them overnight, but please consider that they’ve likely been through the worst of whatever the system has experienced, and try to be patient and welcoming.

So I thought of the perfect analogy to describe DID and OSDD.
DID is sharing a car with other people. Sometimes you drive and sometimes you get out of the car and let someone else drive.
OSDD is sharing a car with other people. Sometimes you drive and sometimes you sit in the passenger seat and let someone else drive.
At least that’s how it is for me…
