is it possible to be a programmed system and not be aware of it??
Yes. The purpose of programming (TBMC) is to keep parts unaware of one another so they complete their tasks without other parts being aware.
There may be groups of alters, or one or two alters who know of one another, but unaware of the system. There may be a part who has no knowledge of any of the other parts.
Top level alters are usually unaware of the other levels in the system. The other system levels remain hidden.
A survivor may seek therapy due to mental health concerns and as safety is established and trauma history explored other system members may begin to front.
