Sometimes
one personality will mimic other personalities.
The
intention of mimicking varies:
- sometimes it’s to handle a situation that the original personality can’t cope with;
-
sometimes it’s to confuse or sabotage therapy
– to lead the therapist astray.
I had personalities called The Observers who would come out and mimic other personalities when we were in absolute chaos internally. If there was a lot of conflict going on, or if terrible memories surfaced, some personalities just couldn’t cope and essentially “ran away”. Then The Observers would take over so no one else could tell that anything untoward was going on.
