My new T is still in the process of EMDR training and I have been researching it online just to learn more about what it is and how it might help me. In the course of my research I discovered that in my country part of the current EMDR training involves a compulsory workshop on structural dissociation.
What I found especially fascinating was that although the website touched on primary, secondary and tertiary dissociation it did not once refer to DID.
I was really pleased to see that structural dissociation is now part of the mandatory training for EMDR therapists, and also pleased to see that structural dissociation is a way of 'normalizing DID' in a country where it has been shunned in recent decades.
Maybe it is easier for every day people to 'grasp' the concept of structural dissociation rather than embrace the controversy associated with the MPD / DID labels.
Seeing structural dissociation being a compulsory part of training in EMDR trauma therapy gives me hope.
