Podcast: Understanding DID with Kathy of Discussing Dissociation and Becky from That B Word

By Kathy Broady MSW 13 Comments

“Hmmmm, what is DID?” That B Word asks.

 

Yes, a new podcast interview! 

 

This time, this podcast interview is hosted by Becky from “That B Word”.  Becky asks lots of questions about DID to Kathy from Discussing Dissociation.  So yes, this podcast is very much about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Becky and I had a wonderful conversation in July 2018 while I was visiting in Texas.  When you listen to this podcast, you’ll hear that I’m having some trouble with Texas allergies — those darn allergies get me every time!  So while I may sound a little funny, Becky was kind enough to just let me go on all kinds of tangents about dissociative issues.   

We spoke late on a Friday afternoon….. and boy, oh boy, was I on a roll! 

(Maybe it was that allergy medicine…..  🙄    )

That’s right — ol’ chatty Kathy was there, upfront and center, lol.   :mrgreen: 

No, no, no — I’m still not multiple — but I certainly was in a funny mood this day, and talkative I was!  Oh my goodness gracious, lol.

 

Becky was interested to learn about DID because dissociative issues and DID are not her usual area of expertise.  Becky’s That B Word podcast is typically about Bipolar Disorder or BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder).   Becky adds Beautiful into the mix, because let’s face it, no matter what troubles people may have in their lives, they can still be beautiful.

That B Word:  Becky, Bipolar, BPD, Beautiful.

  • What if there is no genuine caregiver for the abused child?
  • Where do you start getting help if you have DID?
  • Getting to know your inside people, who they are, and why they are there.
  • Learning about each other and finding out each other’s memories.
  • Are there parts who have experienced nothing except trauma?
  • Who is “the real person” when you have DID?
  • Discussing Dissociation website info.
  • Therapeutic Homework ideas for DID survivors.

Our Own B Words

Now, in addition to listening to the podcast, I have another fun task for us to do.

That B Word is all about B words!    As I mentioned before, there’s Becky, Bipolar, BPD, Beautiful.  

NOW — it’s our turn.   

 

When you think of DID and your system, what B Words come to mind?

 

I contributed B for Broady !!   

And of course, B for Saddest Little Bear !!    🐻

And… a very dear nickname for me has been Broady Bear !!    🐻  🐻   😀 

 

Okay, your turn.   🙂 

What B words are coming to mind for you and your system?

Please write your B words in the comment section Below !

 

I wish you the very Beary Best in your Beautiful healing journey.

 

Warmly, 

Kathy

aka: “Broady Bear”

    I enjoyed this the most. Becky was easy to hear She did nt not talk to fast. The questions were asked . Becky waited for the answers then asked more if she needed. You both covers a lot of facts .
    The other two interviews you did on podcast, were hard to listen to, she interrupted you sometimes , Her questions and examples were very soft-spoken and hard to hear. Most of all she talked way to fast.

    Brave.
    Bold.
    Bashful.

    ’round these parts, we call one of our fronts “B”, just “B”. It’s her first initial since she doesn’t like her name and can’t stand hearing it.

    ps. I think I found another tag for us; ” ’round these parts” – catchy. lol

        Hi Julie,

        Thanks for posting — it’s good to hear from you. I’m sorry you’re feeling frustrated AND …. I have good news for you.

        I’ve removed your email from your comment, but I’ve passed it on to the Client Care Team. Claire will help you find the link for the 101+ Ways to See DID. And… from my records, it looks like you’ve already signed up for the Discussing Dissociation Newsletter list in the past, so that’s why it’s not letting you do it again. You’re already here!

        And now, you’ve figured out how to post comments, so you’re all set to post as many comments as you want now. You’re doing better than you thought you were!

        Welcome to DiscussingDissociation, and I hope you feel comfortable posting again soon.
        Warmly,
        Kathy
