you don't need "names" to do the work for DID, It makes it a little easier but its not necessary. many of my memory pieces came to me this way. What I did was free writing - I sat down with a notebook and something to write with and just wrote the thoughts down as they came. I didn't worry about spelling grammer or connecting the words together to make sense, just wrote what the racing thoughts were. each time this happened and I did this I got more information and then at weekly intervols (sometimes with my therapist sometimes alone) I took the notebook and grouped the thoughts by content - this thought of a smell goes with this thought of an object, this object makes this sound and so on. eventually I had pieced together the whole memory so that I knew what happened to separate these memorys so that they were coming at me mixed up, missing pieces and incoherent. Once I had them all matched up the thoughts no longer replayed by coming at me as racing thoughts because the memory is now together and stored at the conscious level so any time I think about them they are just like a normal memory now.
