link to this article... it is very good. its written by someone who lives with DID but i think it can be helpful for anyone who deals with structural dissociation. "The parts of the personality form together to create a unified, meaningful whole... And I, and all my parts, want to write some great prose with my life. Parts are not the problem: parts coming together are the solution."

#just thinking about some past therapists. hmm.#i think its a sign that a T does not know much about dissociative disorders if they expect you to have overt presentation #its not a circus show. most people with dissociative disorders probably lead relatively boring lives- most are freeze types after all.#parts all represent something important to you- a survival skill. a chain of memories. schema with its own thoughts and memories + feelings #a lot of dissociation is the hiding and fragmentation of self/knowledge/memories under many layers and barriers.#but its also easy to get so lost into that.. you are more than parts... you are the sum of them.. ur also a part of this great big world #thats why this article is so good. pathologization of dissociative disorders is #a big issue. its so so easy to fall into it. its so easy. you see it a lot especially online; and im working on this myself.#txt #osdd
