I could relate to so much of that article. What really caught my eye was the concept of chronic failure to respond by the mother. It's mentioned throughout....
My therapist said I have some form of DID but am still confused about the whole thing. We don't talk about it during sessions as i am in a 'feeling' state most of the time. Reading about STRM's integration experience has helped me understand it better. I'm finding when it comes to dissociation, clinical articles aren't helping me as much as reading about others' experiences although this article helped.
There are many personal stories in the Therapy and Dissociation sections of this site:
TWHJ - Abuse, Trauma, PTSD Recovery Support
I thought this might also be a helpful resource for people. There are a few therapists who regularly participate in the discussions there too.
Thanks Liese!
