We found a great book called I Am More Than One by Jane Wegscheider Hyman. It is a book that discusses how women with DID have found success in life and work. I think it's a must read for all of us since it affirms you often and gives you things to do when you are stressed, etc., at work or at other people-oriented functions.

I want to add this link to this forum since DID is my primary issue. My T uses CBT with me as a part of the DID help. This link has worksheets you can use if your T uses CBT: http://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/freedownloads2.htm
For us, we actually work with each alter through the different issues. Having them fill in the worksheets as each one might allow T to see how each alter interprets a situation in a different way. __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

This is a web site that I found 10 years ago. There are other books available but these are just a few that you may want to find on amozon or other way. http://www.sidran.org/store/index.cf...&category_id=1 Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook, The Product ID: HADI Dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly called multiple personality disorder, is a condition fraught with controversy and skepticism. Often the greatest challenge for a person with DID is overcoming society's general misunderstanding of alter (multiple) personalities and how they may be treated and resolved. Once believed to be a rare and dramatic aberration, DID is actually a highly evolved survival mechanism acquired by some individuals as they cope with severe and prolonged trauma, abuse, and fear. More... Our Price: $18.95 Living with Your Selves: A Survival Manual for People with Multiple Personalities Product ID: HOLS Designed to help people live with their condition, Living with Your Selves was written "by a multiple, for other multiples." It is neither a clinical book, nor a workbook, although it contains elements of each. The author's objective was to create a "how-to manual" for living which would fill the gap between the clinical literature and survivors' stories. More... Our Price: $9.95 Managing Our Selves: Building a Community of Caring Product ID: POMO Building a Community of Caring is a workbook for persons with Dissociative Disorders that concentrates on self-management through active decision making and the development of internal collaboration among alters. More... Our Price: $17.95 The above book is what we used when we first started to heal this time. God in Our Midst is meant to supplement Power's first workbook (Managing Our Selves: Building a Community of Caring), not replace it. Focusing solely on a multiple's Christian selves, God in Our Midst presents ideas about the Trinity as a concept of multiplicity, explores reconciliation, and the role of praise in healing for Christians. More... Our Price: $12.95 Someone I Know Has Multiple Personalities: A Book for Significant Others: Family, Friends, and Product ID: HOSI Someone I Know Has Multiple Personalities: A Book for Significant Others: Family, Friends, and Caring Professionals Adult survivors of childhood abuse often struggle with dissociative conditions. Although the ability to dissociative is life-saving and allows individuals to protect themselves, it can also interfere with... More... Our Price: $9.95 Telling Without Talking: Art as a Window into the World of Multiple Personality Product ID: COTT Illustrated with over 180 drawings, paintings and collages by people with dissociative identity disorder, Telling without Talking demonstrates how trauma survivors create art to externalize their unspoken rage and grief. More... Our Price: $45.00 #Way of the Journal, The Product ID: ADWJ A polished, sparkling gem of a book. Adams makes journal writing safe and accessible for survivors of child sexual abuse or anyone who sees words and language as a way to resolve pain. More... Our Price: $22.95 __________________ Sometimes the only way to find freedom is to fight for it, even unto death! Because no form of abuse transcends pass it!
