DID 101

Start with what DID can change in memory, identity, and control, then see how clinicians assess those experiences.

How DID can affect identity, memory, control, and a person's sense of self.

IFS and DID both use the word parts, but they aren't describing the same experience. A therapist needs to know what changes when amnesia is involved.

People have described dissociation for a long time. What kept changing was the explanation for it.

Why doubt can feel convincing, how clinicians understand avoidance, and what it has felt like for one person.

How trauma, attachment, and a child's developing memory and sense of self may come together in DID.

What a DID assessment may involve, from one missing conversation to structured interviews and differential diagnosis.
