#introjects
Things Fictional Introjects are:
- A real and valid part of having DID/OSDD.
- Dissociated parts, just like the rest of their system.
- Created by trauma, stress, overwhelming experiences, or the system’s inability to integrate new materials into existing alters/parts.
- Centered around a “substitute belief” and can be based on characters and media that you have no strong attachment to or may not even like.
- Worthy of the same care and support everyone in the system deserves.
- Capable of growth beyond their source material.
Things Fictional Introjects are not:
- The same thing as “kins” or “kinning” with something.
- Createdjustby liking, identifying with, being strongly attached to, or being attracted to a character.
- A completely different “type” of alter that should be treated differently than the rest of the system.
- An exact copy of their source.
- Incapable of growing beyond their source.
