hi hi!!! ive a question. So, obviously headspace cannot be entered and all that, but there are a few things i want to ask. I knew someone who was diagnosed with DID, so they've told me a lot. Firstly, they told me that headspace is not real. It can be "created", like your therapist would say so in order to improve communication(?) (As it has been a while since they have told me, my memory is foggy on these sort of things), but these people saying they can enter headspace are full of ####. Their "headspace" is like a bunch of floating fragments in endless void. A question I have is, for the people who have headspaces as a result of talking to a therapist, what is it actually like? Is it just a place you can visualize in your head?
Headspace... CAN be entered. And you do not need therapy to create one. a Headspace if made for YOU to cope with trauma, it is a form of direct escapism. People may not remember entering a headspace, but that is amnesia. Your alters "go somewhere" when they aren't around, and they can have communication with eachother in a headspace. It is varied, and there isn't a single answer.
My therapist didn't make my headspace, but nor did I. It was created as long as my disorder had been in me, and I cannot enter it myself. Headspaces are crucial, but not needed for a system. This is where medical terms like "NPC" comes from, having a headspace.
I do not know where you got headspaces cannot e entered, or that headspaces aren't real, but it is wrong. It is a recorded part of DID diagnoses, and I further you to research about it.
