Hey hello!
I have some VERY GOOD news to share with you.
Well…. I think it’s just the best news anyway.
Like SUPER good news.
FANTASTIC news.
HAPPY DANCE kind of good news!
Personally, I’m over-the-moon excited about this.
So guess what, guess what, guess what?!!
I’ve been working on something really cool !
And it’s almost almost almost ready for you to see.
Something really fun
Something totally unique
Something just for DID Systems
And especially, something for the DID Kids
Kids Time with Kathy Email Course
I’ll give you all the nitty-gritty details later, but you know… while I’ve been away focusing so much of my time and effort in putting that together, I still need to pop in here and let y’all know what’s going on.
Because OF COURSE I didn’t forget you….
For goodness sakes, I’ve been writing and writing and working on this email course especially FOR YOU. You’ve been on my mind every single day for hours upon end.
So let me give you a quick heads up about this
Kids Time with Kathy Email Course.
Okay — first obvious thing, it’s an EMAIL COURSE so it is going to be sent out to you via email.
So if you haven’t yet signed up for the Email Newsletters, this would be a great time to do that, just to get some practice on how to do that. You can use this time to teach your Email Inbox how to FIND my emails.
If you are already familiar with the email process of receiving emails from me, and from Discussing Dissociation, that will give you a heads start to know how to find the Email Course when it’s ready to send out. We need to make sure my Email Service recognizes your email as from you a real person, and that it doesn’t confuse you with spammers.
10 Big Benefits of Being on the Email List for Discussing Dissociation
So let’s see if the Kids Time with Kathy Email Course might interest you….
(or your littles….)
- Do your little ones have enough safe learning activities to do? Do they have any activities that have been specifically designed for inside kids of a DID system?
- Would you appreciate a little guidance on how to interact with your inner child parts?
- Do your kids like to see videos and pictures, or use interactive activities to learn new and helpful information?
- Do your kids need some FUN time, and something else to look at besides all the hard stuff?
- Do any of your inside kids wish they had their very own Exciting Thing to look forward to each week? Something just for them?
Well.
Hmmmmm.
Is anyone out out there raising their hand?
Hey kids, might you like to get a whole bunch of emails from me, especially for you?
What you can do to get ready for the
Kids Time with Kathy Email Course
- Talk to the adults and leaders of your System, and decide as a System if this is a good idea for you and your inner people.
- Check with your local therapist — especially if you have any worries about System Work or interacting with an email course from me.
- Save a few dollars. This email course is quite elaborate, and it has lots of layers, and it’s taken me a LOOOOONG time to do, so it’s going to be For Purchase. It’s not a free email course. However, it will be worth every single penny, I’m sure.
- Sign up for the Email Newsletters so you know how to connect your email with the Discussing Dissociation email service.
- Check back and watch this page often. My goal is to have it available for you within a few weeks. Like sooner than later. I’d have it out yesterday, if I could. I’m really really trying to hurry.
Yes, I promise, I will hurry.
I will hurry, I will hurry, I will hurry!
I have a few more pieces to put together before I can show it to you.
And you know what?
I am working on that EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Every every every single day. I’ll work on it until it’s done and ready, Just for YOU !
While I finish putting the last bits and pieces together….. you can be getting ready too.
I can’t wait !! It’s gonna be FUN !!
Warmly,
Kathy

Hey Haveparts —
Thanks for your question. It IS in the works, but there were a few technical issues as it is an ACTIVITY Course. We’re fixing that and preparing a better way to present it. So…. hold tight, please, because it will be coming out, yes, yes.
In the meantime, the Saddest Little Bear Dissoci-ACTION Story Pack is just about to make it’s debut…. The web tech gal is putting the final touches on the technical stuff, and I’ll have a Release date very very soon!

Hi hi Kathy!
Our big says this costs money. How ‘spensive will it be? We dont got lotsa money rite now but it sounds fun.
We also wanna know if the bears are part of this kids class?
We saw the saddest bear on your blog. He looks lonely. Maybe that’s why he’s sadder. We bes friends with him and then he won’t be lonely or sadder. We likes bears and all sorts of animals.

HRE UP KAFY!! WE NED HOMWRC ! 🙂
I think it’s important to listen to all parts of self that want and need to be heard. But I also at times wonder if there is some level of iatrogenesis that could occur with courses designed for the “kids.” I was a victim of a therapist who was a bit too enthusiastic about parts/voices I rendered in writing and feel that had I not fought it/her off I would have found myself with a DID diagnosis that wasn’t ever there.
Additionally, I also was very, very deeply harmed by what amounts to “online” therapy; boundary violations and huge misunderstandings occurred regularly; it took two years away from this kind of therapy to heal from it–and I’m still healing.
Hi Sue,
Thanks for your comment. I’d like to say a few things in response.
First of all, you are right, in that it is very very important to be careful about who you get involved with for therapy — online OR offline. Therapeutic boundaries and working with someone who is truly informed and open-minded about DID is critical. I dare say that working with DID is as much as specialty for psychotherapy as working in Cardiology is a specialty for medical doctors. It’s easy for harm to happen when therapists are untrained and unfamiliar with the scope of dissociation. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve experienced harm.
I have no idea if you are DID or not. I’m glad you are reading here as it may give you more information to use in your healing process. If you are NOT DID, I’m sorry your therapist made that error. There’s certainly no need to assign the diagnosis when it’s not accurate. Hopefully reading here, you’ll learn more about DID and you can make a more informed decision for your own self.
As far as working with the child parts — that is an essential part of healing for DID survivors. There is no such thing as a DID trauma survivor who does not have child parts, and those parts are the parts of the person who faced the trauma first, and foremost, and in the youngest years of life. So working with the child parts is a crucial part of the healing, no doubt.
However, it is important, of course, to be APPROPRIATE and HEALTHY while working with these child parts, absolutely and for sure.
I wish you the best in your healing journey, and thanks for reading.
Warmly,
Kathy
We wana get ur emals to ? lotsa kids heer n cant tel nowun but r theripee ladee that we r heer. We wana hav fun an frends an be hapee. ?
Boy will I be glad when their email comes as they check twice a day! No wonder they are so close and sneaking out so much lately. T wonders too. LOL They need special attention as they have been working so hard. Season changes are very hard and long a month of working thru so now they get a reward!!!
Thanks so much Kathy. Childhood was not Happy Time for us then BUT today it can be!!
Hi DD —
Oh gosh… I know!! It’s just not happening as fast as I wanted it to either. But rest assured, it’s on it’s way. I’ve had a few personal bumps — the latest being a big ol’ storm called Cyclone Debbie that interfered with my plans and complicated my work hours because of flooding and power outages…. argh. But yes, yes, yes… I promise, I’m working on the series and I’ll get it out as quickly as I can.
Glad to hear you are so interested. Please let your kids know I’m still making it FABULOUS for them !! 😀
Warmly,
Kathy
wotevr it cost we do gona do it
jus hery up kathy!
Weeee….
Waaaah i was just referring my DID friends to this and they informed me of something i skimmed over. This isn’t a free course. That’s us out i’m sorry. Can’t afford it at the moment, and we’re already co-con and work with each other everyday as a family so we were really only doing it for funsies. Sorry Kathy 🙁
EEEEP! we’re so excited the little’s are jumping for joy saying “just for me! not for you!” and looking at the teenagers hahaha
This is so exciting we can’t wait!
Thank you for thinking of everyone in a system!
lol, lil astrie’s…. oh good!!! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
AND…I haven’t forgotten that your teenagers are very much waiting for something of THEIR OWN too. So you know… maybe just maybe they will get one next?? I’ll admit I’ve been thinking about that.
And… there will be a few big words where those teenagers could be helpful… so maybe don’t push them away tooo far. 🙂
I’m glad to hear you’re excited — it helps me to know to hurry up.
Cheers!
Kathy
Oh..wow..they are jumping inside..especially for them?! Really?? They are so happy you speak to them..not about them, but to them. You say “hi” to the kiddies.
Would you speak to them by name if you would speak with them?? Our T, which is a really great therapist, whom I’m very thankfull for, says it is not good to speak with the kids by name, because it would be less integrative, and be more dissociative. We argue about it for more than two years. Its the only thing We’re sad about.
Don’t know why its such an issue, but it is, so I’m very excited that you make something for the little ones. Can anyone in the world buy it? Don’t know how to pay, but we hear about it? Success with the good work and thanks!
Hi Nikki,
Well…. I have a LOT of good news for you and your kiddos, lol.
Yes, the email course is for the kids, and about the kids, and it’s taking a bit because I’m trying to add in some interactive activities for the kids to do. I’m working on that part of it right now. 🙂
And yes, it will be available for anyone in the world who has an email, because it will be send to you via email, and then connects to website pages, etc. So if you have a computer, and internet, and an email, you can see the Kids Time with Kathy Email Course! Purchases will be via PayPal, and PayPal is also available online, worldwide. So if you can sign up for a free PayPal account, you’ll be able to get the Kids Time with Kathy Email Course.
And absolutely, yes, yes, and a million times yes, I DO speak to kids by name. I speak to the whole system by their individual names – big or little or anywhere in between. In my opinion, it’s super important to meet someone where they are, and DID systems are made up of a whole bunch of individual people who work together as a group. So absolutely yes, I speak to everyone by their own name.
To me… it’d be like being a teacher in a classroom full of people, and only call them “Class” or “Students”. They might be a class of students, and of course, you want them to learn and graduate, and move on to the next class, but while they are in your class, you can speak to them individually by name, as well as by the group as a whole. If you don’t speak to the individual students as individuals, they can feel pretty darn put off by your teaching. That’s what I think anyway.
And to me…. the integrative process is sooooo far down the line, and completely impossible if you don’t address the individuals first. As in completely deal with all the issues of the individuals, so worrying about integration is like worrying about the size of a large cake when you haven’t even figured out what ingredients you need in it first. So you know… no reason to jump so far far far ahead when you haven’t done the basics yet.
Just my opinion tho’, Nikki. 🙂
Glad to hear your kids are looking forward to seeing the Email Course. I’m working on it everyday, so soon soon soon!
Warmly,
Kathy
we are interested but before we can do it we have to ask about how much it will cost.
please, how much will it be Kathy?
thank you for thinking of the littles so they can have safe interactions because sometimes they get scared online.
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your interest!
I haven’t decided on final dollars yet. I’m just finishing up another little bit, and then I’ll be writing up a big official page describing it. So soon you’ll know more.
Pleased to hear your kids might enjoy having their own safe activities to do. That’s the goal. Please tell them I’m working on it!
Warmly,
Kathy
i cant wait to see
Really looking forward to this! Going to save up some money for sure! How will you take payments, if you know already? I have two kiddos and they live with a bunch of boring adults! They’re looking forward to this!
Hi Kenny –
So glad to hear you are interested in the Kids Time with Kathy email course!
Payments will just be online — via PayPal. You can get a free account with PayPal, and it connects to a variety of financial options — but that way, I don’t need to know any of your banking details – it just goes via PayPal.
I’m working on it every single day, so I’ll have it ready as quickly as possible!! 🙂
Hold tight, kids — fun stuff is on the way! 🙂
Warmly,
Kathy
This will be cool 🙂
