Rapid Switching

@ROBBER Hey :) I really don't like when this happens

Can you have a conference? See who's triggered? It helps when you know who and why. There's a number of grounding methods you can try but they don't allways work. is there someone outside that understands your situation? Sometimes having a conversation can help. Reminding everyone that you're all safe can help. Even making a fort - like alittle hiding spot helps sometimes. Have things inside that bring comfort to the others. Do things to relax and reduce stress - music - funny videos - soft blankets - stuffed animals

Hopefully it helps slow things down alittle for you all

Having anchor items around the house, items any or certain of you identify with that ground you in present reality.

Some people are also able to ask an alter to hold anchor during rapid switching, some alters can help stabilize the front but not all of us have that. I don't.

Strong safe smells, textures, or tastes might be able to help.

Say to yourselves that you're rapid switching and triggered. If there are any cute animal videos or nature videos.

We have also made a few different playlists on YouTube for different situations with either meditative music or music. That pulls.out certain alters.

How have you been holding up?

Hi there, I'm not sure if you have experienced Mind Control or whether this is regular rapid switching so it is a bit hard to answer your questions accurately so I will try to cover both scenarios.

If it is regular rapid switching then you will probably need to wait for it to stop and then have an inner meeting and ask why they reacted that way, as others have suggested works for them. Creating an agreement as to how to avoid it in the future could also help. If you are in the sequence of the rapid switching (as in you are one of the many switching), you could try to wait till you are out and throw all of your energy into grounding at that moment to break the loop. If not you will probably need to wait until it is over. I had to practice grounding when not dissociating to make this become a habit so that it became my new default response. I didn't even notice a window in which I could choose to ground before I did this.

If you are programmed then the same applies, except you will probably not be able to negotiate them stopping the rapid switching. I find it best to ask the part who has the training memory to share it with you so you can process the memory and help the part understand that they have a choice and don't need to follow the program script any longer. You should only attempt this if you are safe and away from your programmers and you have the co-operation the reporting parts. If you don't know what any of this second part means then don't worry about it.

Good luck, Canvas
