Re:Integration of alters when working with EMDR

I just went through five weeks of EMDR therapy and experienced spontaneous integration of all nineteen of my parts when the last one was found and processed. I'm a little sad about that, about them losing their edges, but it resolved all my inner conflict that I've carried for more than forty years.

I thought I would have to access all the abuse memories and process them, but somehow I've worked on the major issues instead in regular therapy so long that it all resolved together.

When I first experienced several alters merging it was very uncomfortable and an uneasy mix. But when they were all discovered, that last piece brought everything together. And with no conflict, there is no need for alters to deal with it. We all rest easy together. But there is no more purity of desire or purpose.

I still don't have all the memories, but the triggers are gone. And I didn't think it was possible. But it happened.
