This is a wonderful newsletter and the Sidrian(spelling may be incorrect) foundation and its books are wonderful. Five stars or A+++ or thumbs up for the two sites.

Whoever was asking about Pennsylvania trauma units. There are none. The two closest are Shepherd Pratt in Baltimore and Princeton in NJ. There used to be Pennsylvania Psychiatric in Philly, but they switched their name and it's now Brooke Glen and they lost their unit. Renfrew is for people with co occurring eating disorders.

This is such a great list of links. I love all the books that are listed...some of them I have never seen so I will have to check them out. I really liked The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook.... I remember we read that quite a few years ago.
Also have to say that I love Kathy Broady's website as well, her Discussing Dissociation Blog has SO much good information-- I've learned so much from her.
I definitely need to check out the other websites listed too-- thanks for posting these.

Feeling Unreal by Daphne Simeon and Jeffrey Abugel.

A technical book that just about covers everything related to dissociation including research from brain imaging. The book is also cheaply available on the internet.

I really like the information on this website about sub personalities. Peter Gerlach put it together and has a book too that I plan to get.

You can click on so many links and get detailed descriptions/examples of sub personalities.

I am learning a ton from it and recommend it to anyone with DID, thinks they might be DID or has ego state issues.
I clicked the first link and it went to a weird page. Are you sure this is the right address?

I recently bought the book and am finding it very useful. I don't believe I am DID, but I am definitely dissociative and know I have seperate ego-states ... and I do dialogue with myself out loud and in writing.

Gerlach's language of "subselves" makes a lot of sense to me and I can "give myself" permission to pursue understanding of my inner "parts" without having to use the DID label. Although his main focus is on working with divorced and otherwise fractured families, his basic theory about the wounded child and the inner "commmunity" are probably useful to anyone who experiences dissociation.

Nami was a huge help to me when we first realized my husband had DID. It helped knowing we werent alone in the world.

I have also read some real life stories of people who have been treated with DID, of course the names have escaped me.

For the comment about Many Voices. . .it is an exceptional newsletter. They're on FB too. . .especially nice for Gracey is that they are based out of the Cincinnati area, and I have made MANY IRL friends through MV.

Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder: The Power of the Collective Heart, Sarah Y. Krakauer

...briefly...I am reading this book and find the area of 'working through' a more methodical integration quite helpful. My own non-traumatic 'trauma therapy' is 'quite different from hers but very effective for me.

But, the way she discusses and works through 'integration' with her clients is helping me see it in a bigger picture kind of way and did actually open doors for a few of my parts to interact/discuss together.

I want to say more but it is personal to me so just trying to clear here without going into detail. There is way more to the book but the integration focus has been helpful to me. Hope it helps someone else. It may have been listed elsewhere but it just is pertinent to me at this time.

All the best.
