“As a therapist, I have many avenues in which to learn about DID, but I hear exactly the opposite from clients and others who are struggling to understand their own existence. When I talk to them about the need to let supportive people into their lives, I always get a variation of the same answer. "It is not safe. They won't understand." My goal here is to provide a small piece of that gigantic puzzle of understanding. If this book helps someone with DID start a conversation with a supportive friend or family member, understanding will be increased.” PainUnderstandingGoalSupportPsychologySafeNormalSafetyMental HealthTraumaMental IllnessDissociative Identity DisorderMultiplicityMultiple Personality DisorderUnsafePsychiatricPuzzleMpdPiece Book:The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook Source: The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook
“As an undergraduate student in psychology, I was taught that multiple personalities were a very rare and bizarre disorder. That is all that I was taught on ... It soon became apparent that what I had been taught was simply not true. Not only was I meeting people with multiplicity; these individuals entering my life were normal human beings with much to offer. They were simply people who had endured more than their share of pain in this life and were struggling to make sense of it.” PainPsychologyNormalMental HealthTraumaMental IllnessMentalBizarreDissociative Identity DisorderMultiplicityStudentMultiple Personality DisorderPsychiatricUndergraduateMpd Book:The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook Source: The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook
