Oh in all the new personality stuff I’ve been talking up the kinda extra-psychiatric stuff like the anxiety zeroing and allism, but a lot of the improvement really is in the structure of personality, the stuff talk therapy can get at, the old one was totally wiped out and I had to construct this one under conditions of depersonalization.
But of the analytical, intellectual mind being intact and functional and able to guide the process usually conducted in infancy and childhood (though honestly I suspect the autism brought a degree of naive conscious construction to the old personality too) with the benefit of decades of experience and knowing what the personality needed to be suited for
Plus there’s further bonuses from how it comes together \u2013 like there’s a whole category of stuff that, having lived with an anxiety disorder for decades under the old personality, is now trivial to handle; there’s another huge category of things I no longer need to construct defenses against because without anxiety I do not feel them at all
