You have to learn how to cope in a healthy way because dissoceation is just "ignoring or covering up the problem" it is the many ways to do one thing. Like a puzzal. you have to have a lot of diffrent coping skills and sometimes dissoceation gets in the way.. it is just what I think,
I wish you the best,

Hi Jenny. The subject of coping skills is a big one, for me anyway. I'm an old bag and have suffered from dissociation (not DID) my whole life. I have severe memory impairment which makes it more complicated. I was told DBT wasn't helpful, due to memory. I guess the thing is that we each have our own perspectives on the subject and differing experiences and for me, dissociation is just one of many problems affecting me. Don't pay any serious attention to my perspective. We are able to respect one another's opinions, thoughts etc.. and accept differing views. It sure is a big part of making it through my life! Take care as always peej
