Here is some stuff that really helped us function as a suspected system without therapy (mostly in a way of getting to know each other).
Trying to understand alter roles, understanding why some dont want the host to know even tho some alters have been aware for years now. Understanding persecutor, gatekeeper, traumaholder and protector (whosr actions might seem unconventional).
Understand the disorder itself. Lots of research. Including professional papers and learning from other systems (with caution).
Watching people that know their alters well and manage to unmask. We learned to let our alters be themselves. Back then we were at a safe environment (which is very crucial).
Learning how alters show in OSDD-1 systems and how it differnciates from DID systems.
Meditating and actively trying to listen to alters. Being mindful and aware and letting them react while being patient (honestly helped the most).
Letting each other buy clothes, letting them in in decisions and letting caretaker/mediators/ manager/ logical and positive alters and parts help.
Understand how communication doesnt have to be verbal. Communication can be through images, feelings, thoughts, ect.
Do not force it. Be open. Invite them and wait.
