Hi Brigid,
that then could be something that happened as a child in the abuse or something
that made her think that she had " she has a black hole in her head" show her a
mirror and let her see that there is no hole there now.

Our old what you have called a host is not anymore in control she could not
handle a flash back and is now in hiding. but she was like that too if she did
not like the alter she would not let us out. All that is changed since and utter
bedlam has come since then for us.

so be careful with it that things don't get out of hand and know what is going
on if you can sounds like you have a good relationship with them so talking to
them is easy and it is something that is a needed thing for you and them.

been working on it today, and I think that the host is angry at alters that
don't believe that the abuse happened and is locking them from coming out. We
went to see her therapist today, and we convinced the host to allow them out,
but I am still concerned about how to resolve this conflict in the system.
