#ramcoa programming

[egotisticenigma]

「　REMNANTS ?!   ｣

➜ @ a term for an alter who isn’t the core/original, but rather the remains/remnants of “who it was” (aka, who was told they are by abvsers) or whatever was left of the core who intergrated with fragments.

(mainly for RAMCOA/TBMC survivors)

Trigger warning : RAMCOA programming

This post is a coining of a kind of ramcoa programming. Free to use. Creds appreciated

Trans Watchdog Programming

When somebody feels as if they should have been WatchDog programmed

This type of programming consists of making the victim snitch on other people (in the cult) and/or alters within the system that fail to following their programming or a set of rules the victim has been told is law

This can manifest as the victim making their handler/programmer/higherups aware of rule breaks or themselves getting aggressive and attempting to correct others when such rules are broken

Can also be a type of delta programming

No wrong way to use this ID. Feel free to remake the flag or creat sub-id's and flags (such as tris,perma,null,vuln ect) but please credit me or atleast tag me so i can be aware of it <<33 free to archive and for anybody to use.

I hate how people portray cult trauma and OEA/RAMCOA in general because a lot of the time it's not as exciting as you'd think. it's not always gore and blood and death. i will not give examples as to what i mean for safety reasons, but just know this: if cults and OEA/RAMCOA were exciting and big and dramatic all the time, then the acts done would be too visible to get away with.

🗝️🏷️ RAMCOA programming, some details of scripts/introjects but none of TBMC

We have programmed Warrior Cats. I like to make that clear every once in a while. We have colony cats who were raised for woodland living, who prefer the cult and are most comfortable with that danger than domestic safety. They probably weren’t intended to be Warrior Cats, more loosely based on the feral colony in the area. Our mother was a literacy teacher, and reading was our best coping mechanism second to outright dissociation (fancy dissociation, guided style). She didn’t see the harm in letting us read the series, so we internalized some of the details. Those are Warrior Cats now, and have been for longer than not.

The reason I point this out is because I see a lot of talk about new media as rare or impossible to program with. This was fairly accidental as far as I know, a chance to elaborate that wasn’t specifically disallowed, but we also have a fair amount of recent media tied to our programming (especially on the modern side of the system). The more exposed we were to external narratives, the more our trainers twisted them to put them to use. Scripts and media introjects don’t have to be used at all in programming, but there is no one rule book outlining which are allowed. Different trainers and different groups will have their own methods. There is no wrong way to have been hurt.

Hey, odd question but does anybody have any research sources on programming/types of programs for RAMCOA? I'm/we're not questioning being a programmed system, I'm just kind of going down a weird research rabbit hole that you'd EXPECT to see in Aspen but lo and behold here I am...

CW for RAMCOA, hallucinations, flashbacks

I get auditory hallucinations. I can’t hear. People cofronting with me can make the connection to our residual hearing better than I can, but that’s not what it is. It sounds like it’s coming from outside. People yelling, screaming, calling our names. Sometimes my own name, but that’s always whispered. It’s mostly PTSD, snippets I or a system member heard before.

I’ve been hearing the angels and demons (also headmates). That’s most of how I communicate with people from those layers. I think it comes from my training, to view programmers as gods and headmates as spirits. I like them better than the flashbacks.

I don’t know what to make of it. I know it’s not external because I physically couldn’t pick it up. I don’t remember if it was always like this, but it feels normal.

Diversity of experience I suppose. Hearing voices as a Deaf girl is strange in concept, but I only want to change the trauma bits. The rest… well, maybe I can teach the others to sign.

what does Chi mean in terms of HC-DID?

is it acronym or something else?

(in reference to the other anon)

Chi is a type of programming, also known as callback or return programming.

Chi programs cause intense urges/desires to return to the situation(s) where you were programmed. It commonly involves urges to contact perpetrators, return to physical locations, or return to how perpetrators taught you to act/be.

oea/ramcoa is one of the more "abhorrent" forms of abuse. it's less to do with the trauma olympics aspect and more to do with the way oea acts are committed. but sometimes i wish more people understood it better.

i always feel terrible when i say that, because the only way to truly understand oea/ramcoa is to go through it. i wouldn't wish that upon my greatest enemies. it just really sucks when the trauma i've faced and the effort i've given to get where i am today get dismissed and even pushed under the rug. i've spent my whole life not being believed by the people who were supposed to protect me. what makes my trauma so unbelievable?

most people don't understand and they never will. i think one of the worst aspects of oea/ramcoa that a lot of us don't mention is the loneliness of it all. even if i do talk to other survivors, oea/ramcoa is such a broad term, and its practices are vastly different from each other. there's not really a single safe person who will get everything about my story.

i guess i just wish i had someone who could listen and understand. but i'm not provided that luxury and it hurts a lot more than i expected.
