Make preparations and plans ahead of time that will help you get through this week as easily as possible. You can make this the safest and calmest Easter weekend you’ve ever had.
What do you need to do now to make it easier for you and your insiders in a few days from now?
There is much to learn — many ways to help your insiders. Read the Related Articles listed below to help with your overall healing.
Detailed, intense DID System Work done during the most emotional and difficult times of the year can lead to incredible steps in your healing. Use those painful triggers to your advantage — let them help guide you to the internal system areas where your insiders need help and healing. Yes, you are hurting, right now. Your system is hurting, right now. So use the realness of your pain to build greater understanding and bonding within yourselves and your system.
Don’t just hurt without doing your system work. It does hurt — I’m so sorry it hurts — but help those who feel the rawness of it still happening.
Use the triggers to PROGRESS in your healing. Maximize the troubles you are feeling by finding ways to comfort the others inside, and to address the conflicts and confusion they are feeling.
I wish the best for you all in your healing journey.
Warmly,
Kathy

Thank you for addressing this side of DID. I have found your articles very helpful. The only other input I’ve had is a great Trauma Therapist who has been helping us to become whole. This is a hard holiday. Most people I’ve run across that understand DID don’t know how to relate when I bring up the SRA side of it. My trauma included everyone of the caretakers in my world. So feeling safe has been very hard. The body memories make it so hard. And all the input from all my parts get overwhelming. It seems like we get triggers coming from everywhere. I thank you for reminding me that this will get better.
