Quote by Susan Pease Banitt

“Polyfragmentation and Engineered DID Over 20 years ago, I was made aware of a subset of patients with DID who did not develop DID organically but as a deliberate creation through trauma-based mind control. These clients present differently from those with organic DID and have different needs to be met in therapy. From early childhood, they have been subjected to a form of human slavery where their minds have been systematically fractured with traumatic experiences and then rebuilt in such a way that they could be programmed and controlled over the course of their lifespan by handlers. The people with engineered DID challenge even the most sophisticated and experienced trauma clinicians, because part of their programming is to avoid detection and foil treatment with therapists. The groups that 'train' these people consider them expensive assets and will not let them leave or heal easily. They surround the programming and parts with various 'booby traps' that can derail therapy, confuse or distract the therapist, and disable or even kill the client. It is a very specific subspecialty in trauma treatment, one that requires a great deal of education and support to do well.”

“When DID is severe Just as any condition may be mild or severe, this is equally true of dissociation and any condition indicated on the dissociative scale. When someone has endured organized or ritualized abuse, dissociation may be their only defense; sometimes even this is used against them. Whilst DID can be diagnosed with the presence of only two or more distinct parts/'self-states", survivors of chronic and complex abuse, or of organized or ritualized abuse may have many, many more parts. This is called "polyfragmentation" - quite literally "many fragments". Survivors of this form of abuse are likely to need specialized support from professionals experienced and equipped for working with this type of trauma.”

“«Le stelle non dovrebbero piangere» sussurrò in modo che soltanto lei lo potesse sentire. «Devono ridere.» «Come posso ridere se mi è stato strappato via il cuore?» Zarek le prese una mano e le baciò ogni polpastrello. «Tu ce l'hai, un cuore.» Si posò le dita della donna sul petto. «Un cuore che batte solo per te, principessa.»”
