Important reminders

"What may make something traumatic to me, may not to you. As a clinician, I gauge trauma by whether the client’s body is having a trauma response, not whether the precipitating incident was 'objectively' traumatic. If a trauma response is present, then trauma is present. Again, we must understand that trauma is subjective so that we can answer that second question: 'How do I know if mine counts?' Simply put, if it felt traumatic to you, it counts."

parts do not need names

the idea that all parts need names to be considered "fully elaborate parts" is a dated one, and one that I frequently see individuals much earlier on in their recovery perpetuating.

if your parts have their own names, that's great. if you named your parts and your parts are comfortable with that, that's also great. plenty of people, however, do not have parts with names, or only some of their parts have names. this does not have to do with whether or not that part is "elaborated enough" to be a part -- a name does not make up an entire identity, it is only one facet of an identity.

please be respectful if you see someone referring to their parts with functional labels (e.g. "the one who does x/y/z"). it is not inherently "dehumanizing" as I've seen some people suggest. perhaps someday that part will have a name, or perhaps a name is not needed as part of their recovery, and that should be respected.
