Discussing Dissociation under an Avocado Tree

Video:   Dissociative Identity Disorder and Avocado Trees

Beautiful fresh avocados ... What does this incredible tree have to do with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID/MPD) ?
Beautiful fresh avocados … What does this incredible tree have to do with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID/MPD) ?

 

Hello Hello,

I bet I have a question to ask that no one in the entire world has ever asked you before:

 

Have you ever wondered what an avocado tree has in common with Dissociative Identity Disorder?

 

I have an answer to that very weird and unique question.

In fact, I have several answers to that question because as it turns out, there are quite a few similarities with this avocado tree and DID.

Watch my video to find out what I’m talking about.   :mrgreen: 

 

Dissociative Identity Disorder and Avocado Trees:

 

 

I hope you enjoy the video!  

Do you see the different aspects of the tree discussed in the video?

It’s a little fun, a little silly, but it’s meant to be a helpful, introductory explanation about Dissociative Disorders.  

However, please remember, Dissociative Identity Disorder is a very complex subject. It’s going to take lots and lots of videos to explain things.  I have my work cut out for me.   :mrgreen: 

hmmmm…. I wonder which tree I’ll be standing by next time?

Who knew trees could be so helpful in teaching about DID?!

This is the avocado tree used in the video link. See?!

    Your Video of the avocado tree was NOT silly, it WAS VERY HELPFUL at least to me, I have D.I.D. and I am having significant trouble with it and now I am getting what appears to me at least to be NEW body memories of rape and pregnancy that may have happened by a Bishop in the Catholic Church, of which I am trying to sort it all out and my therapist and my new pastor tell me that I mentioned it before of which I do not recollect telling them. My mind won’t recall but I think my body memories are trying to remind me I don’t know. Your video tho was helpful in trying to understand D.I.D. more

      Thank you, MK. I’m glad you found the video helpful!! I appreciate your comment.
      I’m sorry to hear that you were hurt… Keep working on your healing, and maybe some of the others inside were helping to talk about what happened, and that could be influencing how much you remember afterwards. As you get to know your system more, you won’t experience so much time loss / memory loss.
      I wish you the best in your healing journey.
      Warmly,
      Kathy
