Question  How Do You Handle Differences Within?
How does your system handle differences within? Not disagreements about what to have for dinner, but major philosophical and personality differences that cause (or can cause) ongoing conflict?

The nature of the collective self dictates that there will be commonalities throughout the system. But differentiating into individual members dictates that each member is there for a reason, and often shows uniqueness in ways that may seem incompatible with others inside.

In our case, it's been difficult accepting that we even have these differences. We grew up during the "Brady Bunch" era, and we spent a lot of time watching it and other shows where problems were minor and were resolved in half an hour. This was the way that we envisioned our system, because this was how we wanted our life to be.

Some of us lash out at each other in ways that would have shocked us (or some of us) at the beginning of our journey. Others retreat into silence. Our best resource within is the fact that we're all committed to healing. Our best outside resource is our T, and online forums like MM come in as a close second.
