>My alters ARE NOT VOICES, they are not hallucinations, they do not present audibly. What if a healthy individual and a individual with dissociative disorder are just experiencing the same process from a different angle? The author of the bestselling book "The Power of Now" speaks about some mental processes as if they were other entities (inner voice, pain body, etc) and yet he is not in a mental health unit. You see your body as part of you but not the chair you are sitting on. The brain is certainly able to move the boundaries of what is you and what not. For example, some musicians experience the instrument they are playing as part of themselves. it's not far fetched to think that the same can also be applied to mental processes.
