OriginPsychiatric Term

Spinners are programmed headmates that “spin” emotions, memories, and physical sensations throughout the whole system when triggered.

Internal visuals are often used to enforce this program, like hurricanes or vortexes. Some systems describe pressure, dizziness, and physical spinning when this program is triggered.

Typically it is flashbacks, somatic pain, destructive impulses, and etcetera that are "spun out", but spinners can learn to “spin out” positive things instead. Gatekeepers may be able to prevent some of the spinning, and barriers between layers or sidesystems may stop it as well.

Spinning is associated with forms of ritualistic and organized abuse.

History[edit | edit source]

The term has been mentioned by John D. Lovern as early as 1993.[1] This may be the first use of the term "spinning" in this context.
