Sleeping vs Time Loss – How can You Tell the Difference?

By Kathy Broady MSW 23 Comments

    I have a big question for you. For DID survivors, how can you tell if you have been sleeping, or if you've switched and lost time.  Sleeping or time loss?  Resting, or amnesia? I’ve been asked these questions, and since I’m not multiple, I can’t answer them from personal experience.  I can only answer from what I've learned from listening to hundreds of dissociative folks. So… of course, I’m happy to ask … [Read more...]

The Dangers of Losing Time

By Kathy Broady MSW 33 Comments

  Quick Thought to Consider: I had a conversation this week that reminded me of a very important "thinking spot" for trauma survivors with Dissociative Identity Disorder.   Which is worse -- being multiple?  Or being dissociative?   With multiplicity, you are leading a life combined with lots of others inside, making everything a plural existence. Being dissociative -- in the way that I am … [Read more...]

Integration – A New Category and Nine Quick Opinions

By Kathy Broady MSW 44 Comments

  Hello, hello ! I hope you are doing well today. This will be a short post, but I made an important update to the Discussing Dissociation blog and wanted to be sure that you all knew about it. I have been asked repeatedly about my views on integration.  I’ve written posts and comments about this topic, but unfortunately, I didn’t create a “category” for these posts. So now, with around 400 articles on this … [Read more...]

Do Dissociative Trauma Survivors Actually Lose Time?

By Kathy Broady MSW 54 Comments

One of the diagnostic criteria for Dissociative Identity Disorder is experiencing amnesia or lost time.  While losing time may seem like an obvious hole in your every day life, it really might not be as obvious as it seems it could be. For dissociative trauma survivors, the sliding of time is a normal everyday way of life.  It just is how it is, and time feels very different for DID survivors than it does for other … [Read more...]
