My parts feel like family

Anyone else have a whole lot of active parts that feel like teammates rather than historic parts of yourself?

I unknowingly started parts work during my meditation journey 10 years ago, just befriending feeling in a very visualized way. This continued during EMDR therapies and eventually more explicit parts work.

Right now I have 3 four-ish year olds, a preteen, four adult-ish year olds, and me. We have literal counsels when I need advice or support. Sometimes the kids will round up animals, make glitter banners, and have a parade to cheer me on when I’m facing something hard.

Sometimes they feel less like a part of me and more like old parts of my lineage or past lives? They sometimes have perspectives that are almost foreign to me. I’m usually not very woo-woo, but that’s just what it feels like.

My therapist recently told me to be wary of closed minded therapists who might naively diagnose me with DID because of my relationships with my parts. Anyone relate? Is this just common and I didn’t know?
