Dissociative Identity Disorder - Healing
Dissociative Identity Disorder - Healing
Since Dissociative Identity Disorder is generally realized late in life, beginning the appropriate steps toward healing is vital. The process of healing can be long, often spanning several years. During this time, most folks will experience the common symptoms and disorders that accompany the diagnosis. Therefore, many intervention become necessary. Because creating different personality happens during severe and prolonged child abuse, survivors utilize individual forms of healing including but not limited to:
* Therapy by a psychiatrist or therapist trained to treat Dissociative Identity Disorder.
* Support from friends, and family members.
* Joining and participating in safe support forums is also helpful to gain support and validation.
* Breaking the silence, by talking openly, remembering, and dealing with past traumatic experiences.
* Learning and practicing coping skills
* Writing journals, drawing, and other forms of creativity.
The process of healing is difficult, since all survivors have been taught the 'no talk - don't tell' rule. This rule is so instilled in abused children, that they carry it into adulthood, fearing they will again be punished if they tell anyone about their past abuse.
