“You know why you need trauma to have a system? Because [explanation of how trauma creates a system.]”
That isn’t logical. Yes the explanation part makes sense. But nowhere in that explanation does it, or science, insist that this is the only explanation for all types of plurality. Especially for those of us who are plural but didn’t have one person who split apart in order to cope.
There’s a few people researching other types of plurality right now. Dr. Samuel Vessiere is studying tulpas, Tanya Lurhman is studying tulpas and religious/spiritual plurality, and there’s some who’ve shown interest in studying endogenic plurality as a whole, but that’s still really early. This whole field of research is new. This is undiscovered territory.
Saying that you have to have trauma to be a system and ignoring or dismissing the whole rest of the plural community is kinda like when Europeans didn’t want to explore the Americas. They didn’t know it existed yet, and called people who wanted to go see what’s on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean crazy. (OK so they thought they could get to India that way and that was obviously wrong but still.)
“You can’t go that way, there’s nothing there! All our maps and science says so!”
Well. There was something on the other side of the Atlantic. It just hadn’t been discovered yet (by the Europeans.)
“You can’t be a system without trauma, there’s no way! All the research and science says so!”
Well. There is a way. We endogenic systems are the natives of that undiscovered/underresearched land, telling you yes we exist, no this isn’t India, this is a whole ‘nother land so once you chart this place you’re gonna have to redo your maps to include us.
We’re here, we’ve been here a long time, we’re just waiting patiently for the research to catch up. Waiting for the day when we’ll finally be on the map.
