- Thank you to the person who sent us this comment! We’ve wanted to talk about our history with integration for a while, but just hadn’t formulated how to do so.
Our opinions were different in the past, and may continue to grow and change along with the rest of our mind :)

I would think integration that would be forced would be bad but if an alter is truely ready to integrate, it is more like a healing process because the mind would be more ready to integrate.
My daughter and I had this conversation a long time ago. Naturally I thought that integration was the best idea. As her Mother when I realized that she had DID I immediately thought she should see someone and get it "fixed." It took me awhile to understand that there was nothing broken. My attitude came between us for a long time I am sad to say. Until we really had a deep conversation and she was finally able to explain to be that for her, integration would be like killing people to her and she just could not do that. That's when I had my light bulb moment and truly understood. We have never talked about it again and as of now she does not even choose to see a therapist. She is about to be 21, and all of this may change some day, but as of now she seems okay with the way things are. So I am okay with it too. I do really wish she would see someone because she also suffers from depression and it scares me, but I can't force her to. It helps me every day to watch your channel and a few others dealing with DID. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being here for a Mother who was totally lost and had nowhere to turn. Your Channel and the others I have found have made all the difference in the world for me.
Oh, I hope she does decide to see a therapist. A therapist doesn't have a set goal (like total integration) - the client designs their personal goals with their help to target the issues that cause suffering. That doesn't have to be the multiplicity! Trauma symptoms are hard and I wish you all the best.
Peach Plastic where can i find a therapist like this?
Lori KiszkaWoods hey i would love to talk to you... i know it sounds weird maybe.. i dont have much push in me left.... u care so much about ur daughter and i am hoping that in talking to u itll make me feel better
Right off the bat, the commenter just assumes that a multiple would aspire to be a singlet, as if the latter is just the way everyone should be. It is possible to achieve healthy multiplicity without the need to eliminate/integrate everyone in the system until only a single alter remains. Plus it seems to us that the alters are the least distressing aspect of DID, at least for us. The amnesia is worse.
...but isn't the amnesia the result of having alters?
I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new series online?
@Armani Zayne Meh I would suggest Flixportal. just google after it :D -kason
@Kason Eduardo Thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!
@Armani Zayne You are welcome =)
Hi, we're a newer system and the concept of integration is a big ol scary thing to us, but this video made us feel a little better! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :))))) ---Galaxy
Todd from the Entropy system recently integrated and this answered a lot of my questions!
The scale scarf is amazing.
Integration is a 3 step process that starts with communication between all of your alters.
One little integrated into me (host) and everyone is still grieving.
Btw - When an alter integrates into another alter it's called 'fusion' instead of 'integration'.
Also I'm totally going to use primordial ooze as a substitute for original now, that was great
Starlight System hey i feel so alone... i dont know whats going on, could u talk to me? My instagram is Fig.and.moon 💖 i just feel at rock bottom and need help from others like me
really enjoyed this video and hearing a different perspective on this topic. thank you for taking the time to explain this to us singlets bc u rlly dont have to!
Love this channel and love you all!! 💜💜
more than integration for our system what we aleardy kinda doing and would want as a goal instead of integrating and changing what we are is having host and then edveryone else be dormant or front less often, for the 'ease of one perosn making decsions' since if we try to combine all our personalityies it jsut doesnt work bc we are all so different with our views and what we want. im not forcing anyone to go dormant but most of them prefer to chill in the headspace and not communicate or take part in the outside world
im host and my ex wanted us to integrate so we tried and now im different than i was bc i have memories i wanst suposed to have and its just werid now but i like ahving a system so i can take a brek sometimes
I watch your channel when I'm having anxiety attacks and it helps so much, you have a very calming demeanour and your voice is helpful
I think people focus on the alters part of DID the most rather than the dissociation or trauma or various of other symptoms. The alters aren’t the problem at all and that’s why most therapists have stopped advocating for full integration. I think that’s the main issue with this whole discussion
As someone who sees the world differently already (ADHD, possible ASD, and multiple invisible illnesses) I don't understand people who say multiples should integrate, like that's the only path to healing. A lot of times it's easier to work with how your brain functions instead of trying to fight it. I know I can't fight the way my brain operates. The best I can do is manage it. D.I.D brains are wired differently due to trauma, so why is someone who functionally multiple and working with their brain such a bad thing to some people?
P.S. I'm not multiple myself. Just saying I totally understand systems being unwilling/unable to integrate. I'm not sure I would "fix" my own brain if I could.
When it becomes debilitating and life altaring in a traumatic way... it feels like its def time to intergrate...
The Dandelion Diaries of course but that’s what therapy is for
Cat Lynn that’s a good way to think about it
I thought integration meant for the altars to be working together harmoniously and that fusion was what you are referring to when two altars or more become one.
You make it sound like one would have total control over that prozess👀... but that's not fully true🤷🏼♀️
All in all, though, thank you for your work, that's a very good answer to that question👍🏼🤗
so we dont exactly have interest in integration, but god hearing your views on it and how its changed makes me rlly happy!!! even if its still not the main goal for ur system, but arent opposed to it for alters that would like it, its very nice to see. i hope you guys are doing alright!! - lee
When I have extra money, I totally want to get dragon scale gloves and scarves cause they look so amazing and I want to support your system. I completely understand your opinion on this and agree with you. Whenever I bring up DID, even with pretty open and understanding people, they still tend to think integration is the route systems are supposed to take. I think some people default to that opinion just based off what they used to think when people still called it Multiple Personality Disorder. Some people grasp the things you mentioned rather quickly though. Especially being such a large system I can only imagine how hard it would be to get everyone to agree to it. Literally impossible. Anyway, sending your system, Acrylic, and your sister lots of love from Indiana. I hope you all can manage through summer at your dad's.
Very interesting, I'd definitely watch a more scientifically based video too !
i is the first JUANNNNN love yall
i dont understand how some jump to the assumption thatsomeone would want to be singular when being multiple is how trauma was survived, trauma cant be undone so why should twhat helped through it be disposable? if we're going down the wishing well might as well take it the whole way to wanting bad stuff to not have happened at all
Omg the scarf!!! 😍
Something I'm now wondering: when two alters integrate, is the resulting alter between the two or does one if them mostly disappear or does it create an entirely new person or does anything else happen?
All of those are possible.
@@mudkipjuice Thank you!!
check out the diccociadid channel - they explain these things very well
Hi! This is kind of random, but it's been on our mind a lot. We are a system in high school and our host found out about his DID about a year ago. He is very worried about the number of alters we have since it seems to be growing all the time. Is there any way we could let him know that having a large amount of alters is relatively normal? Thanks!
The Ashes System well we have almost fifty now, I’m guessing you’re in a stressful environment if it keeps growing. We split off every single time something makes us too stressed or upset. This can sometimes result in maybe five to ten new people a month. There is no “normal” amount of alters. Some people only have two in a system, some people have well over a hundred, possibly even more. Just try to reassure him and look at other people who have DID with complex systems. Seeing other people with large numbers has made us feel more valid. -Juniper and Malvrick
The Ashes System there’s no normal number of alters
Not about the topic of this video, but I found this video today, after meeting one of our alters and learning their name for the first time: Cedar. You're also Cedar! Just thought that was funny. But also this is a great video. :)
Nice video. Thanks for sharing your input.
Also as a bit of a criticism for the actual physical video, the volume was very quiet and hard to hear. I had to turn my laptop volume all the way up in order to properly hear what you were saying.
I've noticed in your videos that all the alters I've heard all sound the same. How do they all sound in the inner world? Just thought that would be interesting to know!
P.S. love your system and y'all are adorable!!!
They don't sound all the same to me. But most likely they just got used to the body voice and not trying to correct it. The attempts to correct the pitch happen more when the gender is different to the body, or the age, or if the person has an accent.
What do you use to record and how do you make it work with Kinemaster???????????
We've been trying to make our own YT vids, but cant find anything that works with Kinemaster T_T
Am I the only one that has to mute the video for the intro ? I find it too high pitched 😥
The view point is pro one person in the body and I prefer that you. advocated for healthy body sharing as we call it..Also yays for dragon scale s.
I think they just wanted to answer the question on integration and so neglected to mention regular co-consciousness.
Tarottttt??????!
I'm curious to know whether all your alters have dyslexia, or just some of them? :)
Rosemary C I don’t know about them, but it could be either way. Just like some alters need glasses but some don’t, or some being mute, paralysed etc. It is as different as a person itself 🙂
Tw: tulpas
Could you do a video about tulpas and arguments for and against their existing and how traumagenic systems react to endo systems. It’s a very interesting topic for me?
theMoonlit -Wolf the main issue is that people focus on the alter part of DID when that’s the least important part
