The Main Personality likes to get satisfaction in the form of closeness and affection. When the content associated with old memories elicits or triggers parts that intrude with strong negative emotions, the emotions will interfere with getting this satisfaction. Sometimes, the Main Personality will learn to dissociate important information to stop the intrusions. This dissociation distorts reality and the Main Personality makes a bad decision. A woman who marries an alcoholic might sometimes say, “I didn’t even see that he was alcoholic before our marriage.” What happened was the Main Personality dissociated the awareness that he drank a six-pack of beer on both Saturday and Sunday. She blindly entered into another marriage because of good feelings and a distorted reality. She discovered later that he was an alcoholic. The full integration of all parts will help to prevent this problem from happening.
