multiple definitions. in therapy/psychology, its something that 'triggers' a strong (negative) reaction on you, like, the smell of smoke causes you to go into a panic (maybe because someone used to abuse you that smoked or something).
but alot of multiples use it to describe events that cause involuntary 'switching' of whose in control.
Second: you've noticed I don't speak first person plural, that's because I am the only one "fronting" 99,9% of the time, and also because I'm aware of myself and of the other one, while she's not really( she discovered not so long ago she wasn't alone in this body, while I had known for a long time she was here)... you do the maths: she's still a bit freaked out. Has this ever happened to you?
not sure i understand, but it sounds typical.
Third( the last one for today, I promise): we don't like each other too much( but I can't imagine living without her, as she's kinda living through my actings). Are you "friend" with everyone in your system, or does this kind of thing happens?
we work together, and we respect each other. we try not to sabotage each other too much. 'like'ing everyone is here and there. I once went to 'head war' with one of the people i probabaly like best, i try to work with people id rather strangle.
