Dissociation and Fear of Integration

From what I've seen and heard, the word "integration" is often feared by those with dissociative disorders. I understand. The first time I read about the concept of integration, I was terrified. I feared two things:
what I would remember and what I would forget.

But like so many things I've feared in my life, it was unnecessary. I've recently begun integrating those lost pieces of myself and I have NOT lost and part of myself. I have found myself.

I hope you do, too.
