Words matter, as Dr. Miller points out on our latest podcast episode. The term alters can lead professionals to mistakenly think that there is 1 “real” self, which is also why we are not fans of the term host. All of us & all of you+ are real and valid. #dissociativeidentitydisorder #therapistsky

Doing EMDR with DID? Ask 4 questions: Who needs to process? Who do they want w/ them? Who do they want to keep away? Who can alert the system/therapist that those selves are not away &/or signal the need to pause processing? You can do EMDR w/ DID, & any self can do BLS, not just adults. #therapist

"Young" parts of us don't need-- or appreciate, generally-- being infantilized or condescended to. They hold developmentally "young" memories & experiences, but they need to know they are seen & respected & needed just as much as our more "adult" parts in trauma recovery.

You can work with dissociation and EMDR. Dissociation is not inherently a bad or negative coping mechanism, nor does it mean you can’t do EMDR. A few adjustments and accommodations can be made. #dissociativeidentitydisorder #dissociation #emdr #traumawork #traumatherapist

Implementing and maintaining boundaries as a trauma survivor can be difficult for many reasons! Listen to A Couple of Multiples: The Reality of DID on your favorite podcast app or at acoupleofmultiples.com #acoupleofmultiples #pluralsky #therapistsky #traumatherapist #didtherapist
Blue/Yellow background with various circles. Text reads: A Couple of Multiples:The Reality of Dissociative Identity and Podcast Season One Episode Twelve Season Finale. Boundaries will not be exactly the same for every single person. You have to have conversations about what makes you comfortable or uncomfortable. As a client that is often dissociated, we aren’t always aware of whether or not we felt comfortable.

Clients may not know they are missing time. Our brains reordered our memories to hide the missing time. Therapists, look for gaps in stories and assess abilities to tell a story from beginning to end. Assess the meaning of “I don’t know.” #pluralsky #dissociativeidentitydisorder #therapistsky
