Communicating with my Alters
I'm still in the early stages of navigating being a system/having Alters. My Alters don't really feel safe so they don't really come out. They sometimes front but at the same time as me so like a copilot kind of thing? I've tried finding out how to communicate and something cool happened.
I was on my Xbox bored out of my mind when I got a strange urge to play a fighting game (Strange because I was sick of those kinds of games) Then I started playing but I was so much better than I usually am. Then I realized my alter, Cloe was the one playing while I took a backseat. (So to speak) Then I realized that if I played metal music it was easier for Cloe to do stuff.
Then I remembered.
When I was in highschool I would always be anxious and I constantly had panic attacks, stress, etc... So I would put on headphones and blare metal music so there was less to deal with. I always thought I was just disasociating but I'm pretty sure that was Cloe.
Now whenever I have time I play some metal music and let Cloe play whatever game she wants (Usually fighting games) I'm still clueless as to how to communicate with the rest of my alters but I thought this would be fun to share...
