We haven't touched this page in years and since then we've gone deeply down the path of figuring out some of this stuff -- so there's more. We should probably link to Memory Reconsolidation? from this page. That's where that "vibe of the past overlapping the vibe of the present" ends up leading to nervous-system changes. It's an ingredient, anyhow. So this musing led us down interesting pathways. There's a bunch of pages if you search this site on traumawork topics.
Some of what we're talking about (in general on this site) isn't only introspection, but also from decades of running and participating in plural spaces, working with plural clients, talking with peers in the community, and professional study with (singular) coaches & therapists doing memory reconsolidation work and study with other people who have PTSD and C-PTSD.
But the start of this journey was indeed bootstrapping and selves-help work because we didn't have access to "appropriate" and educated therapeutic help since we figured out we were plural in 1986. Exhausting, actually. Now, actually getting places. Plenty of tools that have research behind them as well as those that are anecdotally tested in the community, some of which we've described on the site…in the hopes of not having every system have to totally reinvent the wheel, you know?
Good luck out there! And here, too -- there's so much content here. lol
