Our Sub-Personalities???

Each of us has a lot of different selves within us according to the relationships with others for example a manager who works in a company, a mother who cherishes her children, and a student who study in a university; the list goes on. Put simply, we live our life playing a multiple roles every day. Regarding the characteristic of our sub-personalities, they are not unusual but normal. Also, Firman & Gila (2002) illustrate our sub-personalities in the following way: “Clearly, subpersonality formation seems a natural and healthy structuralization process of the human personality, a gift of the middle unconscious, the subsystems that make up the larger system of the personality as a whole” (p. 73). 

However, our sub-personalities sometimes become dysfunctional, and our wounded sub-personalities show up. When they come up within us, recognition-acceptance-inclusion-synthesis process (Firman & Gila, 2002) would be helpful to make our dysfunctional or wounded sub-personalities healthy and synthesize them in an appropriate way.
