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.
