b. INFLUENCE ON EACH OTHER


As I said above, one personality can influence another who is in control by sending information, thoughts or emotions. The one in control might feel sad about something then “receive” feelings of anger from another. The one in control might then feel both feelings at the same time or one emotion dominates another.

 

Or say one personality smokes but the one who is in control doesn’t. Suddenly the one in control, who doesn’t smoke, gets a craving for a cigarette. The craving is coming from the other personality. But the one who smokes doesn’t take over control. The one in control simply starts smoking.

 


Peggy tried to pull away, but she couldn’t move. And she knew that she was being stopped as much from within as from without. In fact, it was because of what was happening within that she didn’t move. She thought of not having been in command during the train ride .. and she knew that she wasn’t at the helm now, either. She knew that it was Sybil who had control. She could feel Sybil reaching into their handbag … (Sybil see BOOKS, ARTICLES)
