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. |

Hi there I did not read through all 6 pages so sorry if some are repeated.
Seperated from the light by Dr William Tollefson tollefsonenterprises.com Also I got help through a program in south Florida called WIIT... it is at Hollywood Pavilion. The WIIT program still partially exists even though Dr Bill Tollefson is no longer there. His work with trauma and DID was so helpful for me and I know that those working there have taken his trainings. The program also has an IOP program and I know people from all over the US have gone there. Now Dr Bill does life coaching for those that are in recovery for DID and ready to move forward in a collaberative effort to heal. |

Thank you for this. I didn't see it right away. However, I found Dr. Bill on the internet and sent a message requesting a contact in my area. We'll see what happens. I just want to have THE right T picked out, in the event I can convince my partner to go.

Ive been on both iv wise and neither have a significant change but you do drop a few defence walls sometimes but if she doesnt want out she want come out and forcing her out with meds is unethical. I understand he wants to know but these things were kept from you for a reason and rushing to open the doors for someone elses comfort could do a lot of damage, remember you will be learning these things as well as reliving them. Bringing these memories out for someone elses happiness before you are ready could cause a lot of harm

This doesn't seem to fit in with what other people are posting, but because medications and I don't mesh well and I'm still working on entering a DBT/CBT therapy program, I try to manage my conditions with mindfulness and nutrition. Comparatively, I have made significant improvements, though it's hard to say what has worked or hasn't. Sometimes I believe the effort we make toward self-improvement is as useful as anything else.
Mindfulness, I read about everywhere. Nutrition, I research most often at Andrew Saul's site, www.doctoryourself.com and archives at www.orthomed.org, a site formerly maintained by Abram Hoffer and now by other orthomolecular practitioners. __________________ "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need" ~~ Marcus Tullius Cicero |

I read an amazing book recently, The Sum of My Parts by Olga Trujillo. It was the first mental health non fiction novel I read where I was like. That's me, that's how my mind works!
There are some details in it, but she alwasy focuses on how her mind adapted to situations, etc as it went along. Best of all, she's been super successful in life, which makes me feel much better about my prognosis. __________________ “Courage doesn't always roar.

Dr. Doro at the Motivational Institute (in Ft. Lauderdale. sounds big but really is just a small practice with a handful of clinicians) is pretty good. I did not see her specifically, but one of the interns. She was his supervisor. I did have some contact with her around some crisis situations and through the dbt group they ran briefly. If you are still looking for a T, she might be worth looking into.
There's another clinician also, Kris Drumm. She worked at WIIT for a few years, and worked with Dr. Bill. She's really good. She just opened her own practice called A Healing Space, in Wilton Manors. She does a lot of spiritually-based stuff too. If you are interested in her, the website is A Healing Space There's also the TRIP program at Nova. I did not do it, but it came highly recommended. I know it's a bit of a hike from WPB, but again, may be worth it. I had hoped to try WIIT, but they do not take state insurance, and that is the only hope for insurance that I have at the moment. Good luck! Last edited by ThisWayOut; Sep 22, 2013 at 09:30 PM.. Reason: added resources |

Like to add a book by Valerie Sinason here - 'attachment, trauma and multiplicity' - found it most excellent.

As an object relations/psychoanalytic view of dissociated ego states and introjects, this article explains exactly how a child develops certain types of introjects to manage survival/attachment needs as a result of regular abuse by early objects. It also explains how BPD and DID are 2 ends of a spectrum and can both be considered under the umbrella of C-PTSD.

Description of book may possibly trigger.
Safe Passage to Healing by Chrystine Oksana is also a very helpful book and workbook specifically for survivors of ritual abuse. There is much information about DID in it. Last edited by AllHere63; Nov 08, 2015 at 12:10 AM.. Reason: incorrect wording |
