it would actually be harder for me to grasp the concept of structural dissociation because that concept isnt used here in my location. if I was talking in those terms and ways that are taught in that model my therapists and psychiatrists would end up misdiagnosing me. especially if I used the the terms that are taught in that concept. example the term tertiary in my location means from the times of the dinosaurs.

since 2013, and the change over to the new system here in the USA, if I now used that term in relation to my dissociation my treatment providers would think I was psychotic/ out of touch with reality. see what I mean... its best to go according to ones own location. with things like this.

for those with in the USA here is what EMDR is in the USA...

What is EMDR? | EMDR Institute ? EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING THERAPY

and this is what the USA treatment providers go through in learning how to use EMDR with their clients here
US Basic Training Overview | EMDR Institute ? EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING THERAPY

Im glad though that you and your location have finally found a therapy approach that works for you based on your own treatment plan and locations standards.
AL, there is plenty of research and knowledge coming out of the US about structural dissociation and a push for psychoeducation about it there in EMDR training as well.
Thanks for this!
