Welcome to Understanding Dissociated Parts: All About Introjects! This is a general overview of introjects–the specifics are going to be a bit different for each person!

Some additional information:

Introjects do not have control over how they form and what beliefs they hold, but in the case of negative or harmful beliefs, they can be worked through in therapy

Introjects can take the form of real people and fictional characters, but they are not those people or characters (no matter how good of a copy they may be)

Introjects may experience “pseudo-memories,” or a transference of memories from their source. For example, they may long to return to a place you have never been (or that doesn’t exist), or mourn the absence of the friends/family of their source. These are real feelings put into the context of constructed memories, and should be handled sensitively (Don’t just tell them “It wasn’t real, get over it.”)

As always, the most important thing is to foster communication and compassion between parts!
