Product Description
Synopsis
Explores the causes and symptoms of dissociative identity disorder and offers advice on living constructively with multiple personalities.
From the Author
Learning to live as a person with DID presents challenges.
When I first realized that I had MPD I was embarrased and ashamed. I knew that if anyone found out I would lose my job and friends. I withdrew from friends for a long time because I didn't know what to tell them. I spent years in therapy trying to learn how to live with the impact of my abuse. After several years with one therapist I realized that I was not helping myself I was hurting myself. The therapist understood how to work with people healing from child-abuse but not those who were MPD. I read everything around on MPD to try and understand what would help me live my life better. There were many books but none that talked about day to day issues. I did find a therapist that helped me grow and heal. She was a fantastic guide who helped me gain the skills I needed to live and enjoy life. I also realized that I didn't need to be ashamed of being myself. It has surprised people around me to know that I live with DID/MPD - but only when they first find out.:) My partner Tracy and I wrote this book so that people who have DID/MPD can realize that there are ways to heal. Also to educate those who know people with DID/MPD about what it is like to live with DID/MPD so that they can understand a little bit better. It is amazing how much sense someone makes if you realize that he or she is a person with DID/MPD. It is not an easy journey for anyone involved, family members, friends, partners etc. We know that everyone has a different healing path. Our hope is that this book will make it a little easier. For those who have DID/MPD remember you survived the worst, now you get learn how to live. It is a hard journey, and remember it is also fun. Living with DID is also entertaining if you allow yourself to laugh and enjoy life.
