There are
three things a personality can do:
a The personality can come out and take
executive control of the person’s behaviour so another person would notice it.
b The personality doesn’t come out and take
control but influences the behaviour through emotions, and thoughts that the
one in control feels (See Co-presence).
c The personality doesn’t come out and doesn’t
influence the behaviour. This personality merely exists and has little or no
impact on the one who is in control..
Much of the
literature says that one personality called the “host” has control most of the
time. However, there are multiples, like myself, Truddi Chase and other
multiples I have known, where that is not the case. Instead, various other
personalities have most of the control and the host is more like the passenger
in a car.
