Thank you!
The reason why I'm asking for books on dissociation/dissociative disorders is because I'm in-between therapists and the therapists at the VA may not adequately treat DID. I don't have money to spend on specialists who treat DID, and I live in a rather conservative and rural area, so there's likely no one available who has been trained well enough to treat my dissociative disorder. That said, self-help books might help me supplement my treatments for PTSD at the VA, and some therapists are also open to working with me on a book, even if they weren't trained properly with dissociation. They may not be able to treat my dissociation, but I can share what I've learned on my own and try to fit it in with their trauma treatments for me somehow.
I've worked with some therapists who absolutely don't believe in DID. I'll switch without their even knowing about it, though I am co-conscious most of the time. Nevertheless, I benefitted from some of those therapists who have offered treatments for other things, such as CBT or grieving over something traumatic. Because most therapists don't treat DID, I figured that self-help books will help me with the areas that my current therapist won't or can't (that is, when I get assigned one).
