[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100%, the approach is just a way to understand the complexity of our existence and it isn’t at all synonymous with DID. Think about how we talk sometimes: “part of me wants to work out, but part of me just wants to sit on the couch.” Or, “part of me is mad at her, but part of me understands why she did X and Y.”

Thank you, this is helpful.

One of my “parts” had an experience today and I am thrown off.  I feel so confused.  Usually, that part is buried.  I don’t know what to do.  I feel so scared.

It is important to know that the popular portrayal of DID—as fully formed separate selves with things like different voices, handwriting, medical conditions, etc—is malarkey.

There is enormous controversy within psychiatry about this diagnosis, with many scholars believing that “complex PTSD”—that is, PTSD originating from multiple/persistent adverse childhood experiences—is a better way to describe much of what is attributed to “DID.”

It is not uncommon at all for someone with c-PTSD to have the experience you are describing of a buried part coming to the fore. Your therapist should be able to reassure you about this also and it’s worth a call.[/quote]
