ect...
is it true that you can become a blended mess....?

I don't believe I have ever read that book.Is it specifically for DID?Just curious because there were some books I bought in the past that only caused more confusion for me and weren't helpful at all.One was about IFS(internal family systems therapy),which really isn't for those with DID.One that was for DID though,the book Got Parts?(or something like that)I didn't like at all because it talked about creating an inner landscape,naming parts,etc. and I just felt like it's not a one size fits all thing so trying to do what a book says to do doesn't work.And also felt it was wrong to try to be a 'how to' book.
Also wondering if the book is for DID because it doesn't sound right that "the task of the therapist is to help patients seperate this confusing blend into seperate entities".I believe the opposite is true for DID,and the therapist works towards blending and eventual integration and doesn't work towards creating even more seperation.Is it talking about getting to know the internal landscape,as in everyone has different parts,different sides to themselves?Because that's not the same as DID.
