Looking back over the last year, these three characters have emerged in my journey. Each represents a part of me. In early 2013 I'd been working through Integrated Family Systems with my counselor. Therapy is different for all people. For me applying things like this model seem to help me process and gain remarkable ground toward wholness. This model integrates nicely with the Parent, Adult, Child model, that a lot of therapist use as a foundation for the analogies of therapy.
The following characters I'll develop a bit more. Some are just names for the wise, adult part of our consciousness. That part of our beingness that may have been repressed by others, but it was always there and made wonderful decisions when counseled.
My life will always be a journey of integration. These parts are not multiple personalities, they are parts of the whole me. They rise from time to time. Some may still be discovered. Each play special roles. All need nurturing and ultimately integration. For me I recognize that I'm the only entity who can responsibly change ineffective behaviors and deeply ingrained thought patterns.

- Pi: a comforting tiger protector figure (at the time I picked this mental image, I'd seen only the previews of PI, I had no idea that the tiger represented an alter-ego of Pi and it did not register with me that the tiger was named Richard Parker)
- Sofus: wisdom (applies to the wise self of consciousness)
- Devlin: fierce courage (new identy of my previous worry/fear part)
- Emmerson: home-strength(new identity for my previous self-doubt part)
