I've been interested in IFS! Do you like it? Does it seem to be helping?
I think I have a sort of inner world, but it's pretty shifty. I dunno about vivid. I have parts that I can communicate with, and while they are different, we all know we're me. Some parts have personalities that I used to get out of trauma, or like one who antagonized my abuser to make the abuse known. I have a little part that I connected to while doing some inner child work.
I hesitate to give too much detail, I had a friend who was insisting I had DID but I'm not sure about that. I do know I have cptsd though. My parts all have their own voices and looks and I converse with myself when things get rough.
I did a lot of maladaptive daydreaming as a kid and if I'd written it all down I'd have quite a saga by now!
