Hello sunbeem
I want to send you big hugs.
Yes, it is possible for a person to recover from DID and be able to see through one set of eyes , see and feel herself as one whole and self aware, self identifying person, and no longer react via dissociation to those things that connect back to earlier life traumas which were never really processed in the mind and body.
Personally, I beleive that there are differnt answers for each person who goes into therapy with DID. Being able to live life to the fullest and being able to make real connections to other people is what I think most people would be working towards.
DID involves the mind, the brain, and the body. All these apsect of a persons expereinces and life should be utilized and iinvolved in recovery and integration--or becoming one person.
I have been looking into current trends in therapy and am VERY HAPPY to be able to say that therapy for trauma related conditions like DID now recognize and utiize the mind body connection.
One book I just picked up and have yet to read is Trauma and The Body.
A second book is about Sensomotory Psychotherapy. As someone who, yes, is now one whole and self aware person after spending a lot of years all over the place, I do believe this approach to therapy and healing is right on point.
I am so excited that it will be used to help people with this disorder.
And yes, kiddo, with a lot of hard and soemtimes painful work in therapy it is possible for a person in parts and peices to become one healthy self aware and fully functioning person!
