  4. Various levels of dissociation from trauma can lead to personalities that attempt to un-do past events symbolically. Habits can make a “new” personality almost permanent. If the self becomes a criminal personality that person should not “be themselves”. Some method actors dissociate for a part so often that they become a floating self. If their true self is a frightened child, it would not be good to be their “true self”. It would be better if they choose a stable self. Maybe the admonition should be: “Be your healthy self.”
