Definition: Integration
For a lot of people, integration is a therapeutic goal - the merging and blending of the separate personalities into one. How this is accomplished exactly seems to be a mystery even to therapists and people who have gone through it.
We're not sure what our stand is on it, except that for sure no one has to unless they want to.
It would be nice to be integrated and not lose time, not react to things funny, and not to have to hide a lot of things from people. But at the same time it might be a bit lonely. Also, we suspect that in order to integrate you have to accept all the things that people remember and most of the characteristics they have. A lot of us think that this is pretty unlikely because so-and-so is dumb or such-and-such could never have happened!
