Hey! Emerald here, the same one from DIDebunk who suggested the gatekeeper role. This reminds me of what l do very much as a fellow gatekeeper in my system (I also take care of disabled child alters), and coincidentally, we have a similar issue with other gatekeepers wanting control! Another coincidence between us is that there’s a gatekeeper in my system who specialises in splits and fusions, though that one manages alters’ access to each other and manipulates most of the inner world landscape instead of me. Still, I feel seen and understood by someone outside of my system about my internal roles, which is great because I don’t experience it often! You’re very right that gatekeepers have emotions! We feel the same, and we resonate with the statement inside the video a lot about allowing everyone to live their best lives. Personally, I resonate with the likes and dislikes, since it’s highly relatable! Thanks Charles so much for taking the time out to share your experiences. Keep it up!
Hi!! Thanks for speaking about certain things. Some people do really think that gatekeepers are all-knowing and all-seeing and can control everything, but if that were the case systems wouldn't have flashbacks or wouldn't deal with amnesia that's obvious to the outside world, etc etc. I feel like some people forget that even though some alters may have access to certain abilities like how you describe, it's still one human brain and we are not literally superheroes. Hope you're as ok as you can be, it ain't easy
Very good and informative video, thank you -Aarni (one of the gatekeepers of the system)
