So it's been a really long time since I've actually felt much on my own, and tonight was really wonderful. The movie scared the $#%^ out of me, and I couldn't be happier; since the fear wasn't trauma-related, no alter took over and I could actually enjoy my heart racing and my blood pumping and jumping in my seat. I'm in a really good mood now, and I was wondering if anyone else, host or alter alike, felt this way; that their emotions were stinted because of alters taking over like this.</div><div> </div><div>Annotations: http://bit.ly/18pHd1B</div><div> </div><div>Photos: http://bit.ly/19Y7Lu8</div><div>

Sometimes we also recall an event intellectually, but to feel the emotion, we have to get back to the part, which means calming ourselves down enough to experience with that part ... We have to help the part holding the experience by then going all through the details we can remember until they pick-it up and run. We seem in this way able to feel their emotion which we couldn't do just intellectually by remembering having the emotion. The happiness or whatever emotion is held outside any one given mind - into another mind. Need to open the file drawer ;) We have another effect which we've been working on, and that's when one of us as older parts might be out, but then something happens and a younger part is triggered to the forefront - with us looking, but not experiencing directly. We can see the part having problems - sometimes negative emotions, and we feel protective of the part, but can't fix it in "their time," unless our doctor is there and they are able to explain the situation to him, and then he can help ground them so they can feel a sense of our steadier composure. We feel bad that they have to go through it, but in our defense can only help them when they are ready to give up the experience to one of us - especially through Dr. Marvin.</p></div></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div>
