Testimonial Comments:

“A lot of professionals think they understand DID, trauma, & dissociation. But none of them come close to the depth of knowledge and level of caring that you have, Kathy. Your knowledge, compassion, & expertise go far beyond anyone else we have had experience with. Thank you for dedicating your life to helping people with DID. You have made a difference in countless lives. “ ~ Caroline

“And…you have such a knack for brightening our day. We have been in a bad place for a while now. Seeing this email helped us feel better. Seems like all the worst holiday and anniversary times we go through, you always have something kind or fun or kind and fun waiting for us in our inbox. We love that! And appreciate you so much.” ~ Kennedy

“As usual when the holidays overwhelm us and there is no one to turn to you pop up in our inbox. Reading it has sent our heart beating like crazy but what you say feels right…. Thank you for being a hand out in these dark days.” ~ x

“Congratulations Kathy. This [ Wellness Guru Award ] is really deserved. I read your blog so often. It keeps me grounded.” ~ Maddie

“Congratulations for your 10 years old wonderful DID site!

I have read your site for years, and I am grateful for everything in here: when I’m reading Discussing Dissociation, I remember and I feel that I’m not the only person in the world who is suffering deeply because of horrible childhood, and I also remember that in the world is a lot of people – like you Kathy! – who is looking STRAIGHT to us and our painful wounds and scars from childhood.

Thank you very very much, Kathy!” ~ DID from Finland

“Discussing Dissociation has been probably the single most helpful resource I’ve found (other than my psychologist) in the 7 yrs since I was first diagnosed. I found it via a simple google search and never looked back. From day 1 it showed me that DID isn’t something to be scared of and that it’s totally workable, livable and actually pretty amazing.

As we got to know each other as a system and new issues constantly arose, I found myself researching, sometimes frantically, for answers, insight and advice. I was never let down and always came away more motivated, and felt empowered because thanks to Kathy, I finally understood what might be going on inside the system and was able to see things from the perspectives of the others. Once I had that understanding, and thanks predominantly to her positivity and “can do” attitude, I was able to change my behaviour towards the others and work with them instead of against them. What originally seemed like an endless and insurmountable task very quickly melted down to simple actionable steps that changed my life forever.

Over the years of reading Discussing Dissociation I repeatedly got answers I thought didn’t exist; I got validation that what I was experiencing wasn’t an overreaction, and a much deeper understanding of those people within my system and why they might be there. My fear of the others diminished and from that I was empowered to keep working with them and got instant positive results from within the system. There are still times when small issues pop up and things go crazy for a few days but the skills of introspection, self-care and prioritizing the others before myself that I learned here, still serve us well.

What used to cripple us for weeks at a time is now resolved within hours because if I can’t see the others’ perspectives myself, Kathy has written about it somewhere on her blog at least once, and there are steps there to help us overcome it- even if it means we just have to “sit with it”.

I really value this blog and thank Kathy for the food for thought it’s still continuing to bring us. The blog brings our attention to aspects of healing we’d not yet thought of and allows us to work through them together as a team. Just recently it’s also been particularly helpful in allowing us to see on a global scale, just how far we have come and how much we’ve successfully improved or resolved over the past few years; information which is not easily accessed now that we are without a psychologist.

When friends or family members look for advice I often direct them to this blog as it’s always so upbeat but yet factual. Sometimes people’s only opinions on DID are those they’ve formed from sensationalized and stigmatizing media portrayals. Kathy has achieved a blog which right from the get go, sets out the realities of DID with facts and her own experiences but yet still remains easy to understand, positive and hopeful, for both families and their systems. This is a very rare thing in the DID world.

Thank you Kathy for all that you’ve done and continue to do, we truly appreciate the time and effort you put into helping people like us who are otherwise neglected and ostracized in the psychiatric community and society as a whole.” ~ Astrie

“Discussing Dissociation has been the best resource for anything and everything you need to know about DID for ten years now. Kathy Broady is an expert in DID who has a passion for helping others, and is a protective and strong person who always goes above and beyond to make sure people feel safe in her presence. Discussing Dissociation is a positive, helpful, caring environment where you can reach out for support and give support to others, knowing that Kathy is always keeping an eye on everything. We trust Kathy like we trust no one else on Earth. She always has our best interests in mind.” ~ Pilgrims

“Discussing Dissociation is a wonderful resource full of factual and important information for anyone who lives with dissociative identity disorder and those who treat or love them. I highly recommend Kathy’s work and wish her all the luck in the world!” ~ Shirley J. Davis

“Excellent guidance Kathy. I needed this ‘map’ in order to go deeper in my healing. I’ve had some bumpy therapy & things re healing have just been chaos. This orders my steps enough that I think I can make good progress especially with the new people I have been finding. Thank you for some direction in my healing. I’ve wanted to make more progress but was lost in the process. Excellent & very practical blog. Thank you! My T will be glad.” ~ Elliott Patrick

“First of all, this was the very first blog I read after being diagnosed 3 years ago with DID, that actually made sense. I would come here several times a day, maybe for an answer, or some validation, or simply for another person, other than my therapist, that would say, “This is normal, and you are going to be okay.” I was a little disappointed when you stopped blogging as much, BUT I am thankful you are reorganizing! I support the ideas you have shared, and look forward to what is ahead for you, this blog, and those of us who follow. You know, as well as those of us who are survivors, that it can be very lonely at times. Even when we have an incredible therapist, support system, spiritual beliefs, etc., it can be a lonely, difficult place. Thank you for your continued belief, support, knowledge, and care for those of us who have suffered, and survived…may God bless you and your work.” ~ Kathy (a different Kathy than Kathy Broady, of course)

“Her love for the little ones inside is what touches us the most. Kathy is insightful, empathetic, warm and kind. Her articles have helped us through dark days. Her consultations have often resulted in the most growth and progress. She is excellent at this and I am grateful to have her help.” ~ 5-start review on Facebook by Laura V.

“Hi Kathy I have been reading your blog. I like alot of what you write and it is very informative for me.” ~ Nadia

“Hi Kathy, I think it is wonderful to have more personalized contact with you! And my system sure can use the trusting, supportive, thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable person that you are…to be part of our world Communication is a big issue for my internal world and we can use any help we can get. I frequently watch your videos and read your blog posts and have appreciated every one of them! I know this work you have done for so many years is emotionally and physically draining for you and I want you to know that your knowledge, written words and supportive ways are so valuable and functionally useful to myself and my system!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kathy…for the clarity and understanding you have given, and continue to give, to my world <3” ~ Rita

“Hi Kathy, We are thankful for you and for this blog and for your big heart & hard work.” ~ Pilgrim

“I can see it! I can see it! I love the “101 + Ways to see DID”. Awesome work you did there. I will share with others I know to have dissociative issues. And, I will tell my talk doc all about it. We have gotten some great info from your writings and this report is another excellent piece of work by you that we can use in our healing journey. TYVM!” ~ Kennedy

“I’d like for everyone to know KATHY from Discussing Dissociation the way that I have been privileged to know her over some 25+ years. I first met her inpatient where she was leading groups of Survivors in Coping Skills & Processing Groups. Kathy’s groups were soon to become my favorites. Kathy is calm, warm & inviting even to the most angry parts. She is wonderful with child parts as well. There is a solidity to Kathy that I’ve seldom found with other DID Therapist. You just know she knows her stuff as you work with her. She is knowledgeable & so at ease with DID that she soon creates a strong atmosphere of calm & healing around her. Kathy can take a chaotic system or group & quickly bring calming humor to any situation she finds herself faced with. Humor is a Giant tool toward healing as alternate parts will test her at every given opportunity. Kathy has a wonderful sense of humor that can make the most intimidating of persons decide that laughing is so unexpected that working with her just might be worth the risk. Kathy is solid. She is a competent fighter for your system & so knowledgeable that you are very soon at ease in her presence.

Luckily I have gotten to work with Kathy numerous times in my life over the years, as there are no quick fixes in this field. When Kathy knows you & your system you are truly known. It’s almost impossible to fool her & it is impossible to forget her. I am so thankful for the Blog at Discussing Dissociation! She is constantly downloading new information & truly gets what it is like to be dissociative. She is a rare find in this field. I invite you to check her out yourself. How I wish there were more therapist like Kathy, but her Blog covers about every issue that comes up on the journey of healing. It is my wish that more & more therapist would come here to learn from her writings. She has so thoughtfully penned answers that we are so desperately seeking in recovery. Kathy is real. She is genuine. To work with her & to read her writings is delightful. Kathy is on your side, a very strong advocate for her clients & all DID survivors. Kathy is just the whole package as a therapist. She’s a lovable, safe Grizzly Bear & perhaps that is why there are Bear stories! It is my wish that you know & trust her as I have grown too. I have never met a more knowledgeable, capable nor humorous therapist. It is an honor to share Kathy with each of you. Few things are easy or even good on this healing journey. Kathy is the exception. She is enjoyable & wise beyond her own recognition.

With Heartfilled Honor ~ May you know Kathy.” ~ Elliott Patrick et. Al.

“I feel like i am beyond hope so i read your blog. …. We have been searching for a therapist … Found out after 20 yrs we actually have ptsd and no one noticed. So finally find a psychologist who did their dissertation on it. First few months sounded good but seems her knowledge ended. She is supposedly the expert and no one else is but we read your blogs and have talked to you twice and they do more for us. Wish our present psychologist would read some of these blogs (especially since we talk about them) but she wont.” ~ the invisibles

“I found this website a source of excellent information and compassionate understanding. I also value the opportunity to talk with other DID folks who know what I am dealing with in a way that singletons can never understand fully.” ~ Patty

“I have known Kathy for over ten years, and worked with her in email and phone consultations on and off for much of that time.

Kathy consistently provides a safe, supportive and emotionally warm and inviting space via phone and internet where I/we feel safe to share on deep levels, more so than anywhere or with anyone else that we know. Her knowledge of dissociation and DID and many years experience working with survivors of trauma have helped me to understand my own mind in a way that was never possible in previous therapeutic connections.

We accomplish more in one session with Kathy than in months of internal work with previous therapists. Kathy is easily able to relate to all aspects of ourselves, child, teen and adult parts with ease and skill. she has helped deeply traumatized parts feel safe for the first time in many years. What we appreciate most is her sincere caring, warmth, non judgement and respect. We feel safe with Kathy and would recommend anyone to work with her in this forum or personal consultations.” ~ Jenifer L.

“I greatly admire your hard work and dedication to our community. So, I need to start here and say – you are a “beautiful, beautiful therapist”, Kathy and I want you to know how much I appreciate and respect you with the kindest regard. You have been an inspirational, thoughtful and generous guide to me on my journey to healing and I feel genuinely blessed to have you in my life. Mere thanks seem so wanting to the task of expressing the depth of my gratitude for you but that is all that I have to humbly offer here.” ~ ME+WE

“I have been reading here for quite some time now, and sharing my thoughts and reflections on what you have written with my therapist. I have been nervous about commenting, particularly as I have been working hard on external safety, but I felt this was the right time for me to stop…lurking. I really want you to know that I truly value this blog and I’m so appreciative of the time you have already put into it. Thank you, Kathy. That being said, I am so excited about your ideas to expand and develop Discussing Dissociation.” ~ SeekingOurFreedom

“I like this blog, though I wish there were more posts to be able to talk about things more. There are so many resources here though, so I just appreciate everything you’ve done. It challenges me but also informs me of so much. I think it’s pretty great! I just love discussing dissociation!” ~ Maureen

“I just LOVE all of your ideas and cannot wait to see what you have in store for us. Your wisdom, thoughtfulness, genuine regard for our needs and heart full of caring and silly beans are a guiding light to hope and healing. You not only teach us with your incredible insights and creative postings, but you inspire us with the depth of your understanding and compassion. You are one remarkable gal Kathy and you have my utmost admiration, awe and respect!!!” ~ ME+WE

“I love the new site and it’s really easy to find things. I’m so excited for the email newsletter and the free report, once it has been attached. It’s so special finding somewhere where we all (my insiders and I) can be understood. It’s great hearing from you again.” ~ SeekingOurFreedom

“I love this blog. It’s one of the few places where I feel truly understood. Even in my therapy which has been life changing I do not feel my therapist has ever really understood the DID aspects of me in the way you do Kathy. I know I’ve said it before but I am so pleased you are back.” ~ Maddie

“I love this website. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I wonder sometimes how and why therapists get into the specialties they do. I’m glad that you found this specialty or this specialty found you. And, I’m happy to be one of the many people who stumbled upon your website years ago and kept coming back, and coming back, and…well, your dedication to this has been a godsend to me.” ~ B. Kennedy

“I think that online communities, such as this site, are a good way to start being social. It is possible to build genuine, supportive relationships with people you meet online. I wouldn’t discount this community, not for a second. It is, however, different being social offline.” ~ SeekingOurFreedom

“I want to thank you all for this wonderful series with Dear Bear.

I am processing a lifetime (at 64 years old) of trauma experiences in EMDR therapy, and I am so grateful to have discovered Discussing Dissociation. I print out your articles and read them frequently, and I have shared your site and some of what I have learned with my EMDR therapist.

Thank you, thank you! When I finish watching one of your videos, I inevitably begin crying — I am sure it is one of my “littles” reaching out and being happy to be understood, finally. Your site, articles, and videos are true gifts to me. Sincerely,” ~ K

“Kathy and Laura, I just wanted to thank you on behalf of everyone in my system for being so helpful. This is one of the greatest resources I have ever found and I am so grateful to you for being so willing to help systems like mine and people like me. I would also like to formally ask for permission to regard you as our mother figures, as we’re in desperate need of a new one. Much love and respect.” ~ Brad

“Kathy…congradulations on this [ Wellness Guru Award ] and you should be proud. I have been reading and commenting on your blog for a very short time but feel that I have gained insights and understanding from you with my DID. The public does need so much education on this topic…especially after some of the movies that were released. Plus it is so great to have a professional on a websight that I can visit, talk to and recieve comments back from. Your blog has become one more comforting tool for me.” ~ Nadia

“Kathy has been a beacon of thoughtful and compassionate light illuminating the way for me out of the loneliness and darkness of despair that had been my life. I found infinite knowledge, compassion, acceptance and healing in her words and a community of like souls who truly understood my journey. The Discussing Dissociation website has become my rock to rest upon in the uncertain sea of my existence and the community that I can rely upon to offer me comfort, wisdom and a welcoming heart. Thank you Kathy for your selfless devotion to the DID community. You are the source of my light, my inspiration and my hope.” ~ Patty

“Kathy has so much warmth in her empathy. Her skills at understanding the parts of us and our personality development is helpful to others those wanting connection to self and integration to the past in a positive direction moving forward.” ~ 5 star review on Facebook by Audrey Epstein, M.S. Ed., MPA

“Kathy, I can’t express how grateful I am that your Discussing Disassociation website exists. There are few experienced therapists in our area and even fewer that accept someone with limited financial resources. The information that is provided on this site is a beacon of hope and direction for those that are traumatized and lost as well as those trying to help.

I am helping a newly diagnosed individual learn how to communicate with their internal selves, not be disabled by past trauma and become a productive, content adult. I am not a health professional, just a support to someone with the disorder. Your information is invaluable in helping the individual, close friends/relatives and health professionals understand this rare coping mechanism

We are still in the beginning stages of repair, but after just two months of finding your site, already much progress has been made. It is very helpful to read your many articles between therapy visits and view your podcasts. Things we learn helps us in so many ways, from choosing an appropriate health care team to finding out that out of body experiences are a part of the disassociation symptoms. I am optimistic that our efforts will help the individual I’m helping get back to work soon and to eventually lead a healthy, happy life. It would not be possible without the extensive information on your site. A huge thank you for your work and making it available to those that need it most.” ~ Debbie

“Kathy was the ONLY person during a very difficult time in my life that was able to hear me and was on MY side. She taught me that MY safety was extremely important and it was something to fight for 🙂 That was truly 100% lifesaving for us and I will always be eternally grateful to her for that.

I was completely 100% shocked and stunned to hear someone (YOU) tell me that my safety mattered.

YOU put the words together for us–put words to the feelings that I was so desperately trying to convey to people.

YOU heard me when NO ONE else would.

YOU showed so much understanding without ANY judgement–something I NEVER thought was even possible……

YOU were there for me/us and you continue to be there—

I don’t have strong enough words to describe what that means to us–it means the world to us–and we are so extremely thankful for you.

You are that selfless candle to us and Kathy your light burns ever so bright in our world.” ~ TW

“Kathy, you were there in the very beginning for us. I think it was almost twenty years ago. When we needed you again you were still here. Still helping survivors. That says so many amazing things about you. It makes me cry when I think about what a difference you have made in our lives. I don’t know where we would be now without your help. You made us want to fight to have good things in our life. I don’t think my therapist would have known what to do without your help. Simply thank you for your help just doesn’t seem enough.” ~ Insideones

“Kathy, Wow- congratulations! your blog is amazing and so is all the hard work you put into it. and you even offer it for free- thats incredible. thank you for all you do.” ~ Charlie

“Laura, I’m including you in my message of gratitude for all that you are doing to make this such a wonderful place for us all. You have already offered incredible insight, support and compassion and now are working with Kathy to provide us with more. WOW! You have been an incredible gift to our community here.” ~ ME+WE

“Oh my gosh I just discovered you yesterday and I’ve spent two solid days reading this blog everything I can soak in and there’s others here like is what a godsend.” ~ Q

“Oh my Kathy but you have such a deeply genuine and kind way of reaching inside and touching my heart, mind and soul. To turn such a beautiful moment for yourself and your family into such a moving expression of concern and caring for us is simply stunning. I (WE) owe you so much more than my humble words of gratitude could possibly express here.” ~ Patty

“Please let Kathy know that her blog helped to both educate us and to help keep us sane when we were first diagnosed with DID back in 2012. She answered so many questions for us that were simply unavailable anywhere else, even though we did a LOT of reading on the subject in order to learn what we have, what causes it, and how to deal with it, etc. We are very glad to see her more active on the blog these days.” ~ Rocio Caro

Re: 20 Signs of Unresolved Trauma — “This is the one if the first pieces we read after our last counsellor quit after yelling at us and it was both discouraging and helpful – discouraging cause saw we were really trying and we have DiD. All these years and not one really knew mpd just how to do damage. But it was good to see that deep inside the struggle we have is normal – we struggle with denial and the rest depending on the part involved. It is still hard as no one seems to get it, but articles like this makes us know somewhere someone does.” ~ X and the invisibles

“Right now, Discussing Dissociation is the only place we have to feel connected to outside people, to the outside world. It can’t replace a good T, but not only does it help me when I have no one, when my T comes back, (or if we have to get a new one), we print copies of articles to discuss in therapy.

I come here and read, and sometimes insiders come out and write comments on different articles that speak to what we are experiencing.

Lately we sit here feeling really bad. Commenting on this site and talking to other posters has really helped so much.

This website is a true gift to me.” ~ Lora (Kennedy)

“Thank you for all you do. ‘We’ don’t participate online, but we are dedicated lurkers, and you are by far the best and safest place for DID survivors we have ever discovered, both in and out of a therapist’s office.” ~ Jeremiah

“Thank YOU for spending your time and posting on the best DID blog in the WWW! It’s mucho appreciated!” ~ Pamela Beauvais

“Thank you for this blog and how thought-provoking it is.” ~ SeekingOurFreedom

“Thank you for writing about this and giving me much to think about. I really appreciate everything you do.” ~ HJ

“Thank you for your blog. Every time I feel a bit overwhelmed and defeated I will browse your blog and read different entries and comments. Again, it helps to know there are so many others who experience the same challenges.” ~ Sylvie

“Thank you for your kind comments. It is obvious that your dedication to this field of work is more than just a professional one, it is a calling. And, I do believe that we all learn as much as we teach in life. I share here and I get back a hundred fold in my own journey to healing. I am glad that you do not see yourself as perfect Kathy. I would not have the same depth of trust in you if you thought that way. You are a “real” person with your own stuff. I honor and respect that. And, I do not see anything but pure heart in what you do here. Never would I question the sincerity of your heart or your dedication to folks who have been traumatized. I have always told folks here that this was a safe, compassionate and informative place.” ~ ME+WE

“Thank you Kathy for devoting your time and efforts to helping the ones experiencing DID, for free! I admire your kindness, generosity and knowledge. I’ve been supporting a friend with DID, and your site has made me feel more secure in this journey, knowing that DID isn’t always painful and scary. Keep rocking!

“Thank you Kathy for writing this place. For giving so much of your time and your heart, for spreading so much of your wisdom and your love to so many people. You are such a blessing.” ~ Rylie

“Thank you Kathy for your kind words..they do help with my confidence in all this. I have not begun to learn to redirect my self-hatred/anger…. This is a new concept for me and I feel like I need to do so much work with it!” ~ Nadia

“Thank you so much for providing this resource and working so hard to make it even better! Your posts and the comments from other people like me have really helped me make sense of being a dissociative trauma survivor.” ~ Helen

“Thank you so much for these articles on dissociation, I have been reading them like crazy and because of them I am back in therapy with a great therapist who is amazing the D ID. If I hadn’t been for you I would not have taken that step and I am finding out that I do have a voice and I’m not crazy, so thank you for your many hours of work you do to put decide together” ~ Paulette et all

“Thank you thank you so much Kathy for all your hard work on writing all these and for all your thoughts and all you share . You are so smart and got such a big heart and we appreciate all you do for writing here. Good for you for more than 12 years!” ~ Missy H.

“That fact that you ARE a clinical mental health professional blogger that specifically helps those with D.I.D., for ME on THIS BLOG? I AM SO GRATEFUL that you have this blog, DON’T EVER QUIT because there are NOT that many individuals that will help those with D.I.D. like me and I NEED to be assured that SOMEONE IS out there to turn too and I am sure I speak for MANY other individuals that have D.I.D. too. Kathy YOU are VERY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE and supportive to us all. You cannot even find many Medical people in clinics doing therapy that will help us out. Some, but by far not very many .. where I am from, there is hardly anyone BECAUSE most medical professionals believe it’s too contraversial? to deal with, in other words for many, D.I.D. doesn’t exist, yet it does, they just do not want to work with us. Anyway, please don’t stop being there for the many voices that need to be heard. It is horrible for some to have D.I.D. for me it’s terror to live with. THANK YOU KATHY BROADY for being there dear. We need you STAY KATHY!” ~ MKM

“The experience I have had with our consulting time with Kathy was the most humble thing. What Kathy did was give a glass of water to one of our head-mates. He had never had a clear, see-through drink without some type of mind altering drugs in it. She drank form that cup, so she could prove to him it was safe.

I watched the video of her interaction with him. She never! Not once! shamed him. She had patience and was understanding of his attitude, towards trusting it was safe.” ~ Live United

“The first time we came to Kathy’s blog, we had just lost our Therapist. Her post spoke volumes to us. We kept coming back to read just that post.
We had a lot more to read of course! We still to this day haven’t read everything she has to offer.
We have had the opportunity to meet Kathy in person. Her gentle spirit and willingness to spend time with us in person was more than we bargained for.
We can’t say enough about Kathy and this place. Even though we are at a very low point, we STILL regard this place as safe and healing. We have learned so much from others!
Thank you everyone for contributing your world to us. We get something every single time we come here. Even when we are hurting and raw. We get something here.
Thank you everyone who puts in hard with to keep this place going! We appreciate you!
Thank you!
Read our poem on Kathy’s site.. again and again. We mean it!” ~ Jill Summerville Sparks (All the Jill People)

“This blog and the emails have been a major blessing to me because I have been able to see things from another perspective, and also to be more supportive for my significant other. I am so glad that this blog was started and I hope to keep getting more and more insight as time goes on. Thank you so much Discussing Dissociation for being helpful and supportive!” ~ Savannah

“This is a marvelous resource! …..Thank you so much for all you do for the DID community.” ~ Shirley J. Davis

“This is exciting news! we are happy about all the cool things coming. you and laura are truly a blessing to us all; grateful for this place for our community to belong to and feel safe!” ~ partsofme

“This is a very supportive site that explains in a simple way the complexities and pain associated with DID. Healing is possible especially if you can find a true friend who understands and can communicate with the alters. I called them family so they knew they belonged” ~ 5 star review on Facebook by Robert Matthias

“This sounds really cool. Thank you for all the hard work being put into this website. I have gained a lot of encouragement to keep going forward and working on my STUFF through here. So THANK YOU. You all rock!” ~ D K

“This blog is a blessing to our community. We have an incredible therapist, who by the way, fits 99% of what others look for in a DID therapist. I share often of the information from Kathy! Her compassion and diligence to continue the intricacies of this work for those of us with DID, is in short, remarkable. Thanks to all of you who make it possible! Much love” ~ Partsofme

“Very nice post Kathy! I got alot of comfort from your explanation of why we didn’t learn how to self comfort. It is also a comfort in itself to read and hear someone else talk who doesn’t have DID but “gets” it. Your info on children being totally alone to figure things out and have no one to comfort them is right on the money. … thank you for this post…very informative and comforting.” ~ Nadia

“We are so thankful for your website and for you! There is so much information here and the littles love your stories. They also like you bunches because of your playful way at times. Thank you for all you do as an amazing helper!” ~ Gelsey

“we have learned so much from this blog

it have so many good things

we talk about it with each other

we talk about it with are talker lady

we have read every article over and over and over bunches of times”

~ Rachel

“We love the things you write and you videos! We cant wait to see what you do with the blog.:) we have lots of things we want to learn about.” ~ Wendy

“We really appreciate your articles. We came here because my therapist directed us here. It’s crazy that actually, before I was aware of my DID, we were already doing the things you’re sharing here. We’re glad that we’re not crazy for doing this and that we’re just doing what’s right for us.” ~ Alberta

“When I was first diagnosed with DID, I was frightened and didn’t know where to turn. My therapist helped us to overcome the initial fear and gain understanding of why we are multiple, but it was Kathy’s blog that helped to both educate us and help keep us sane. She has many ideas that illustrated what was going on internally and ideas that helped us to develop internal communication. We especially like how she seems to “get” what it’s like to live in our internal world, and that it is internal communication and cooperation that is most important to us. Kathy answered so many questions for us that were simply unavailable through other sources, even though we did a LOT of reading on the subject in order to learn what we have, what causes it, how to deal with it, etc. Thanks, Kathy, for all your support over these challenging years!” ~ Rocio Caro

“Wow … way interesting blog posting Kathy. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your extensive experience and dedication to the field shines through.” ~ ME+WE

“You are such a blessing, Kathy.” ~ Caden

“You do have so much experience and insight to offer those of us suffering. There just isn’t enough support available for the vast majority of us. So many of your articles are such good reads, and I am grateful to be able to come here.” ~ Kathy K
