Typically, I hit it over the head with a rock. A big rock. On a more serious note, my best defense against denial is knowing that I can't deny this without denying a part whom I love.

There is incontrovertible evidence of DID that can't be denied - I need to keep those moments in mind when denial raises its head. I think the fodder for denial comes when we cooperate. I get too tired to take another step and Sonseearae will speak up with something like, "Go to sleep! I got this!" Often I will let her and head for the back room of our safe place where we do not hear, see or know. Because there was an element of choice involved...the switch was not completely out of our control (although it may have happened organically if we had continued to push ourselves) denial can creep in. Remembering those times when there was exactly zero choice helps.

Does your system have a favorite show that all or most agree on?
