You might want to tell someone your story but you are afraid you won't be believed, and that would be devastating. Dissociative disorders are commonly overlooked by mental health professionals, so it’s likely you’ve been disbelieved before or told you were imagining things. Or maybe, like some of my clients, your symptoms were incorrectly labeled as panic attacks, hallucinations, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, or schizophrenia. I’m here to tell you that I believe you. You might feel crazy, but you aren't crazy. DID is not an illness (it's a wound and coping strategy) and healing IS possible.
I provide trauma-informed and attachment-informed therapy. I'll help you understand your symptoms and develop skills for addressing them. I will not ask you to share details before you are ready to do so. If you also have PTSD, it is likely we can greatly reduce it through Cognitive Processing Therapy; no specific details of your trauma are discussed in CPT.
If you have DID, you've likely learned the very hard way not to trust easily or quickly, and I understand that. I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute telehealth consultation. Ask me your questions and a get a sense for yourself if you could work with me. Visit my website for more information on DID, PTSD, ADHD and autism.
