Terrics,
I don't have DID. But I've found that there are age states completely frozen and encapsulated. Right now I know of two strong ones, a 6-year old and a 11/12 year old. It freaked me out completely to begin to feel these regressed feelings and to find myself completely taken over. Often I have internal arguments between age states. Not voices, but thoughts that belong to someone else.
In therapy, we've named the younger part (little daisy) and we talk about "her" and "me" and "us" etc. It makes me a little crazy but it works for now.
I hesitated for a long time to admit this to my therapist but he pulled out little daisy himself and talked to her. Now it is very common for them to communicate directly.
