This is so inspiring. As someone who was diagnosed with DID at the age of 28 as I was becoming an RN and now I am someone who works in psych I have decided to use my personal experience to stand up for my patients who often get overlooked and misdiagnosed. Thank you for sharing your story and your life. It makes me feel not so alone in this world.
Thank you for sharing this. I don’t have the struggle with DID, but the trauma-induced struggles I do have, have been bad enough, and the stigma surrounding it all makes it so hard to reach out for help. It is truly difficult to find someone you can trust! Fortunately for me, I am beginning to find those people: a couple of therapists, one friend (so far). We can, and need to, do so much better! Blessings on your journey! ❤
Dry was and scary that in training you were told, never to trust a mental health patient , it's exactly this which makes people worse. Well done for sharing xxx❤
Thank you for sharing truth. Dissociation is a strategy...to survive the sometimes emotional emptiness of life growing up with parents who were not able to provide emotional & psychological nurturance. Keep fighting. Life can sometimes be very lonely & just hard.
I agree with you. We do need to do things differently. Starting with the recognition of the impact of trauma on individuals, families, communities and the whole of society. Judith Herman, in her book "Trauma and Recovery" explains why this will always be a battle and will only succeed when fought on a political front. Thank you for sharing a small part of your experience. There is a lot in the subtext of your narrative that can only be read by people with a lived experience of profound trauma and recovery. I see you Dr Adrien Fletcher.
