Abridged Dictionary of Terms
| ALTERNATE PERSONALITY (Alter) | A distinct identity or personality state, with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and one’s self. Alters are dissociated parts of the mind that the patient experiences as separate from each other. (Modified from DSM-IV) |
| ABREACTION | The recall of a traumatic memory that is so vivid that it seems like a re-experiencing of the event as if it just happened along with the five senses. |
| AFFECT | The traumatic emotions that come to the surface usually without the corresponding memory of the abusive or traumatic event. |
| ALTER | Abbreviated form of “alternate or altered personality”; a divided part of the soul, formed by dissociation, which has its own unique function and responsibilities |
| AMNESIA | The inability to recall significant events or other information that is too extreme to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness |
| BODY MEMORY | The re-experiencing of the physical sensations of a past event as if it just began |
| BLACK OUT | A loss of consciousness which may be experienced by an alter while another alter is in executive control of the body |
| CHRISTIANIZED | When an alter decides to turn his/her life over to the Lord Jesus Christ. When a “cult alter” decides to follow Christ, then he/she should “renounce Satan and all his ways” and then choose to follow Christ. The “spirit” of a person is what is actually “saved” where the Holy Spirit indwells. An alter is part of the “soul of man” which is composed of the mind, emotions, and will and therefore, does not technically need to be “saved.” |
| CO-CONSCIOUSNESS | The phenomenon of more than one alter being conscious at the same time having varying degrees of influence on the control of the body, usually, refers to the Host being co-conscious when other alters taking executive control of the body |
| CONDITIONING | The process by which a consistent behavioral pattern is established in response to a given stimulus. Operant and classical conditioning is used for reinforcement or punishment of specific behavior. |
| CORE PERSONALITY | The presenting personality, most directly, related to the original person conceived in the womb (Not everyone defines this in the same). |
| CORE SPLIT | An altered personality, split directly from the original person |
| CULT ALTERS | Alters deliberately, created, indoctrinated, and programmed by the (Satanic) cult for cult purposes; generally cult-loyal to varying degrees with cult responsibilities |
| DELIVERANCE | The process of freeing a person or alter-personality from demonization |
| DEMON | An evil spirit; some think it is a disembodied spirit from a Pre-Adamic race that existed before Genesis 1:2. Others attribute it to the departed spirits of hybrids from Genesis 6. Some use this term in reference to fallen angels. |
| DEMONIZATION | Varying degrees of demonic control/influence over a person or altered personality |
| DISSOCIATION | The process whereby the mind separates one or more aspects of its function (sight, smell, touch, emotions, etc.) away from the stream of consciousness as an event is happening. The formation of alternate personalities is an extreme form of dissociation along the Dissociative Continuum. |
| DISSOCIATION IDENTITY DISORDER (DID) | The new, official term for what was formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder; the presence of two or more distinct personalities or personality states within a single person, two of “which recurrently take control of the individual’s behavior (DSM-IV) |

| FOOTHOLD- | an oath, vow, pledge, ritual, sacrifice, generational inheritance or sinful action which gives demons legal ground to influence/control a person or altered personality |
| FRAGMENT | A dissociated identity or part with a limited life experience and function. Unlike a fully developed altered personality, he/she does not have an established pattern of perceiving and relating to self, others, and the environment or a full range of emotions. |
| FUNCTION ALTERS | Alters created to perform specific functions unhindered by the effects of the trauma. They may also be formed to “protect” certain talents or encapsulate certain emotions, positive or negative. |

| HOST PERSONALITY | The presenting personality who has executive control of the body the majority of the time. The Host can change from time to time over the course of the individual’s life. |
| HYBRID ALTER | An altered personality that is a combination of two or more different alters or substances. An example is a DOPPLEGANGER that is composed of DNA from several evil humans in history plus the DNA of a demon or evil entity, then it is genetically engineered and inserted within the DNA strand of a person with DID. This genetically engineered evil entity then forms an “evil twin” or DOPPLEGANGER which then takes over control of the body to perform evil assigned tasks. The “original DNA” that was cut out in order to insert the evil genetically engineered DNA is then placed inside an object, protected by a curse, and then hidden deep within that person. |
| INNER (or INTERNAL) SELF HELPER | An alter (an angel, Artificial Intelligence, or beneficial entity) whose primary function is to help maintain internal stability and who may be able to provide helpful information to guide the therapist only when asked for help. |
| INNER WORLD (or INTERNAL LANDSCAPE) | An imaginary, internal “place” built around the mental imagery, representing the system map, where some alters may interact with each other when they are not participating in external life.

| POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER | “PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it. This “fight-or-flight” response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm. Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger.” (National Institute of Mental Health) |

| PROGRAM | A response that has been deliberately pre-determined and established to occur automatically to a given stimulus often based on Operant or Classical Conditioning. |

According to psychoanalytic theory, repression plays a major role in many mental illnesses, and in the psyche of the average person.” (Wikipedia) |

| SPIRITUAL WARFARE | The utilization of spiritual principles which apply the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His blood against demonic activity or evil entities |

| TRAUMA | “Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the mind that occurs as a result of a severely distressing event. Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one’s ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience.
