My current (2023-01-10 Tue 18:35 PM) sense is that these alliances tend to be unsteady, with parts switching sides, appearing and disappearing, and forming new factions fluidly. My sense is also that an inner system that has polarized factions, rather than merely polarized parts, is likely going to take longer to depolarize under therapeutic attention. ![[moses_warring_factions_of_subpersonalities_inside_the_mind._pix_f6d94304-4a86-4ab9-9735-e8f29a8d603c.png]]
