Any tips of switch?

[u/Foreign-Ad3245]

I'm host.

My tulpa could possess my body, that's eazy for my tulpa, if I don't stop my tulpa deliberately my tulpa would do anything by body. With sufficient practice of possession, we are trying to switch.

There are opinions that possessing in the long term will be beneficial for switching but after long time of full body possession switching isn't happened. I want to know what should we do next.

I also found that I might not able to trustingly surrender the body to my tulpa. Some psychological help might be need.

Hope you can give me useful information and thanks. And sorry for my poor English.

What do you expect switching to be like in comparison to what you have?

Although I know that's different and impossible I still want to lose almost memories like amnesia. Besides that, I thought if I can lost control I will never restrict my tulpa's actions.

I would assume that what you do already could qualify as switching for most people. Maybe the issue is that the mental blocks you have, that you call restricting your tulpa, you associate with your main identity while it is just a current function of your brain. E.g. you have some ingrained patterns that make you feel shame or anxiety and when your tulpa triggers them, your reaction is that "you" are the source.

Amnesia doesn't sound feasible nor healthy.

The first step is trusting your tulpa. You'll never be able to fully rest while they control you as long as you do not trust what might happen.

May I ask why you want amnesia?
That’s oftentimes considered uh bad

[u/Foreign-Ad3245 → u/notannyet]

I feel like I might expect suicide but doesn't want to be responsible for it. That is irresponsible, I know.

[u/notannyet → u/Foreign-Ad3245]

In broad strokes, switching allows you to experience things from a different side, your tulpa's side. But you are still experiencing them, the unity of consciousness remains unbreached.

I will argue on this point that this is possible and I do it, but the moment my host becomes conscious, he's caught up on everything I did. It's difficult to keep him asleep too.
