Hi kerria,
I was browsing amazon, after i'd gotten a book i needed for a class, and happened on a book i thought you might find interesting, actually i thought the author was interesting. his name is donald kalsched, and the book is "The Inner World of Trauma" it's about what happens when someone is severely abused, and the process of dissociation. i also did a google search since this man is an analyst, and is still alive and seems to have a good grasp on the subject. of course there are other analysts that come up when you do a search for him. hope this is helpful. also, if you go to the link for the book, you can read a bit in the book on amazon.

Thank you, Fairywings. (((safe hugs)))
thanks for being so thoughtful. things have been so hopeless . i will check the link. It sounds at least like it's not one of the books where the person with DID has an understanding, supportive husband/wife, a T that is always There for her and she communicates and wins over all her parts that are always happy to help when they're heard.
i have to stay away from reading those.love,
kerria

I guess I was more posting thinking that because this guy is a T, that there have to be more T's out there who have a good understanding, who are truly empathetic, and can help you to get the parts cooperating or integrating, if that's what you want. I'm not sure about reading the book, check the link to Amazon, and read excerpts, it might be too upsetting, I don't know.
I am truly sorry you are feeling so bad kerria.
(((hugs)))

Thank you, Fairywings.
The book is very good- the author does have an amazing understanding- i was reading about 'splitting being a violent affair'- it's so true. Our parts are terrorized on the inside by the stronger part that no one else sees, except T usually.
i'd like to give the book to my T if he doesn't have it.
At first in the process of therapy i had more hope but now i think we have the same limitations that that author talks about- we reach a plateau where we can't depend upon T or give control over to him enough to help us. It's an inside thing- not a changeable thing. It's not a decision that 'i' can make. It's made by my part(s).
It's locked up inside to prevent successful therapy.
Yes- that's just how it is.i wonder if that Dr sees patients.
Thank you Fairywings.
love,
kerria
