How will I guide my classmates to experience these feelings?

Intro

Simulation:

• How it is very hard to tell when you have switched making it very confusing for the people. Or where the alter might do stuff the host might not want. Or waking up in a weird place.

Debrief:

Do’s and Don’ts

• If you know someone with this disorder, you should be very tolerant of them and know that if they start acting different, they aren’t “themselves” in the present moment. If it gets really bad, you need to take them to doctor or psychiatrist to get help and make them a better person. Don’t get mad at them for anything they do.
