That's a very interesting question, AlwaysChanging2. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of advice to give to you. But I do think it's something worth thinking about it. I don't think using "we" as a pronoun is necessarely a step backwards. I think it's just a normal part of the process. After all, alters are going to stay for a while. I think it's expected, or at least therapists expect it. It's all about working towards integration, I think. That's just my opinion, though. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. Sending many hugs to you
