This is where seeing is believing comes in…

In a huge way your expectations control what you experience.   If you have read the part on how we see, you may understand that vision is really just the interpretation of electrical impulses in the brain.  In fact all of what you experience through your senses is just that; how your brain is interpreting the information taken in.

We are very invested in believing what we experience through our senses.  It feels threatening to think that we can’t trust what we see, feel touch and taste to be true to the actual facts of our existence.  From inside DID we are used to that experience.

What you experience of DID, is going to be partially driven by your own judgments and interpretations.  What you’re looking at is your brain building a detailed whole for you and it will conform itself to your needs and expectations at the time.

Feel like this co-conscience part is your best friend and you might see the two of you on a couch in your brain having whole conversations about everything you do.  Reject it totally and you may find yourself on the ceiling looking down on a version of you doing things you have no control over.

You can feel what “THEY” are feeling and know what they are thinking, But THEY ARE NOT YOU!   You may have both experiences with different parts of yourself as they become accessible.  Your reaction and your knowledge base will drive your experience.

The more you learn about DID the more what you experience may conform to what you know.
