Internal Self Helper

An internal self helper is a headmate whose role is holding knowledge about the system, headmates, trauma, and/or internal workings. Some internal self helpers may also be gatekeepers.https://system-dictionary.carrd.co/#mt 
__TOC__
The most concise self-definition given by an ISH is as follows: "I have many functions. I am the conscience. I am the punisher, if need be. I am the teacher, the answerer of questions. I am what she will be, although never completely, for she has her emotional outlets which I do not need. But she will have my reasoning ability to look at things objectively. I will always be here, and I will always be separate, but the kind of separateness which is yours, a oneness with a very fine line of distinction. An emergency backup perhaps. I must be the ability to know. If I am gone, she is just a body. She can send part of me off and leave a small portion. But if all is taken, she is a shell. Now my function is overseer of the dump. I am kept busy sorting out the different messes created and the problems created between the alternate personalities."
- Allison, R. (1978)
The concept was introduced by Allison as early as 1974, who described a member who he thought to be "the manifestation of a higher part of the personality which is a derivative of the Soul, a part called the Inner Self, the Real Self, or simply the Self." He related having met one such Inner Self member with each of his patients, and attributed a spiritual and religious significance to them. He further referred to this type of member as a possible "co-therapist". 
The descriptor Inner Self Helper, abbreviated to ISH, is similarly attributed to Allison, and is used by him as early as 1978. Though the origin of term "Inner Self Helper" is often referenced with Allison's work in 1974, it is not specifically mentioned there. However, Allison later refers to the same paper as describing his first meeting with an ISH, introducing the concept if not the later term.
In 1985, Allison elaborated on his spiritual perception of ISHs, and introduced a hierarchy of "Higher Helpers" that he perceived as external spiritual entities.
In 1989, Adams used the term as "Internal Self Helper", accredited to Allison. A citation in Adams's article listed a paper Comstock presented at a meeting in 1985 which also used the word "internal."
By 1998, Allison used the synonyms "Intellectual Self", "Essence", and "Risei" on his webiste, which he defined as complementary to an Original, "Emotional Self", or "Kanjou", with both being separated as the result of an initial split. In this context, he referred to the "Intellectual Self" as taking on the mantel of ISH or "Damage Control Officer", with the ability to create other members. He also listed Hilgard's "Hidden Observer" as a synonym.

Internal Socializer

An internal socializer is the internal communication version of the role socializer, which is associated with external communication. An internal socializer could improve internal communication/make it easier, could relay messages back and forth between system members(aka proxying), improve internal system relations, or anything else regarding internal communication. 
== History ==
The term, along with its flag, were coined by Tumblr user yes-hi-i-am-moe-gai on August 9th, 2022.https://www.tumblr.com/yes-hi-i-am-moe-gai/692172689889263616/internal-socializer

Internal Therapist

An Internal Therapist may do a number of different things, but this role is generally centered around helping other headmates.
An internal therapist may help other headmates to process emotions in a productive manner: and assist them in effective, honest, and safe communication regarding issues.
An internal therapist may help other headmates process and manage their personal struggles, disorders, or trauma, particularly in relation to source memories and exotrauma.
An internal therapist may help other headmates find and use alternative coping mechanisms and move away from destructive coping methods.
An internal therapist may work generally as a therapist or counsellor for other headmates.
Internal therapists tend not to front very often, as this role does not extend to external parties.https://www.tumblr.com/wishiwasfiction/724615769553616896/internal-therapist-coining-post (archive)
It's important to note that internal therapists work in very different contexts and manners to outerworld therapists. They are not reliable sources of therapy regarding issues in the outerworld and should not be treated as such.
=== Specialisations ===
Similar to outerworld therapists, an internal therapist may have a topic or particular issue that they are good at assisting with, or exclusively work with that thing.
A specialisation can be anything, but here are some examples
* Exclusively working with persecutors and other headmates that cope in ways that harm the system
* Exclusively work with exotrauma
* Primarily work with syskids and systeens
* Good at helping manage anxiety

International Classification of Diseases

The International Classification of Diseases, or ICD, is a diagnostic manual maintained by the World Health Organization and used by many United Nations countries. Unlike the DSM, it includes both mental and physical disorders. The latest edition, colloquially the ICD-10https://icd.who.int/browse10/2019/en, was published in 1994 and the ICD-11https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en is expected to be released between 2025 and 2027.

Interpreter

Interpreter is a headmate with the role of being able to interpret the necessities of non-verbal or semi-verbal headmates.
They can serve as negotiators in situations where a headmate may be easily misinterpreted.
It’s not uncommon for interpreters to be limited in languages foreign of their own so they’ll either depend on body language or hold a strong enough bond to understand another headmate.
==Related Terms==
Intermediate communication refers to internal communication between a sentient headspaces and headmates, when one is interpreting non-verbal/semi-verbal speech to another, or when one is translating foreign languages to another.

Inter-System

Inter-system describes events, activities, conversations, etc. that occur within or between two or more systems, mostly in shared reality.
==Related Terms==
Anything occuring within a system may be described as intra-system.
Anything occuring between a system and anything outside of that system may be described as outrasystem. Inter-system may be considered a specific type of outrasystem. 
==Term Origins==
Inter- is "a prefix meaning 'between,' used in the formation of compound words."https://www.dictionary.com/browse/inter A system is a collection of headmates in the same brain/body. Therefore, inter-system refers to things occurring between collections of headmates.

Intersystem Projective Narravisum

AKA Shared Narrative Headspace, Collaborative Headspace, Collaborative Narravisum
Coined by Voices System
An Intersystem Projective Narravisum refers to a Narravisum in which one system is able to project one or more system members into the headspace of a different system, and interact with the second system's members and/or headspace environment through the medium of collaborative narration. This is generally only sustainable while both systems consent to and focus on the collaboration. 
The system that projects their member(s) is the Projecting System. The system into whose headspace they project is the Host System. A period of collaboration may be referred to as a "Session." A Session may be terminated at any point by either participating system. 
A variation of this may involve both systems projecting into a collaborative headspace which is separate from either system's native headspace. In this case, both systems are Projecting Systems and there is no Host System. 
This is not considered a form of System Travel/System Hopping, as the members of the Projecting System remain within their own system and only project a soma as a sort of "avatar" into the Host System's headspace. However, participants may use terminology common to System Travel/System Hopping; for example, referring to a Session as a "Visit."
Not to be confused with narrative fictional roleplay, despite outward similarities. Events and interactions that occur in/during an Intersystem Projective Narravisum Session are as fully real to the participants as events and interactions within their native headspaces.

Intoxigenic

Intoxigenic is a system or headmate origin term for systems formed as a result of being intoxicated. This can refer to intoxication from alcohol, medicine, or recreational drugs. This term does not imply whether or not a system is traumagenic.
Intoxication can cause plurality or formation of new headmates for a variety of reasons, such as: causing or worsening dissociation, psychosis and/or hallucinations; traumatic experiences due to negative effects, such as a bad psychedelic trip; or a headmate forming to manage or handle the experience of being intoxicated. Intoxigenic systems and headmates will often continue to have a unique relationship with drugs or alcohol, whether positive or negative, and may have intoxication be a front trigger.
==Related Terms==
A headmate may call themself an intoxitive if the experience of being intoxicated is introjected to form them.
Intoxigenic systems/headmates may also be consumagenic, although intoxigenic specifically implies that the effects of the substance are what caused the system, not the consumption itself.
Intoxigenic systems/headmates may also be druggenic.

Intralayer

An intralayer is a layer of headspace perceived as existing inside a system's physical brain. This is in contrast to an exolayer, one that exists outside of any psychological or neurological phenomena, as well as outside even the shared reality itself.

Intraplural

An intraplural is a systemmate that is or is part of a subsystem (in its traditional definition, not sisasystem ranking definition), and may or may not be the host/core/main of said subsystem, tharyath, or other collective.
In systems with innerworlds, the term may denote people who have an active life in the main world or more outer innerworld, as opposed to people who stay in the innerworld of their subsystem; but this term is quite flexible.
==Related Terms==
The intrasinglet term serves as an opposite to the intraplural term (also known as Kuustal).
Other related terms include quoi-intraplural (Quoikuustal) for headmates who find it hard to determine whether they are intrasinglet or intraplural but generally lean towards being intraplural, and quoi-intrasinglet (Quoizeluk) for headmates who find it hard to determine whether they are intrasinglet or intraplural but generally lean towards being intrasinglet.
This term is not to be confused with interiplural (a member who is a part of a larger system and who identifies as plural themself, but not as a subsystem for any reason).
Vessel is a term for a member who contains a subsystem, and may be considered a synonym.
