Are Newborn Babies Born with Innocence and Purity? How about You?

By Kathy Broady MSW 30 Comments

You probably thought I was going to talk about kids, or children, or babies. And I might. But first, what about newborn puppies? This post is partly for fun -- because you know I just can’t resist sharing more pictures of my puppies !

Doubly Difficult Days for DID Survivors

By Kathy Broady MSW 28 Comments

  This weekend is often a difficult weekend for trauma survivors with dissociative identity disorder.  First, there is Father’s Day (for those of us living in the USA), and secondly, it’s the Summer Solstice.  Anytime the difficult days get stacked on top of each other, it’s going to make for a complicated time.   On days when the issues seem to surface in layers, what do you do to cope? **This blog article is … [Read more...]

Sorting through Transference Issues

By Kathy Broady MSW 26 Comments

  In response to some questions asked about my previous blog article about Mother’s Day, I’ve decided to follow up with an additional post on the topic of transference.  Transference isn’t necessarily an exciting topic, but it is fundamentally important to understanding the dissociative therapy treatment process.  Hopefully, this article will help to clarify more about the importance of these … [Read more...]

By Kathy Broady MSW 29 Comments

  Mother’s Day.  Mother's Day is a hard day for a lot of dissociative trauma survivors.  It’s a day full of mixed emotions, painful longings, unhealed heartbreak.   It's so complicated, especially when you think about how important  mothers are to their children, and what their behavior teaches their children. Mother's Day hurts the people who were hurt so much by their mothers. Mothers are a complicated subject, … [Read more...]
