Please don't be scared to read about this topic. It's genuinely something many DID survivors need to know about. Be brave, and have a good look at this article. It's very … [Read more...]

By Kathy Broady MSW 38 Comments

I have a question for the dissociative readers of this blog. I've been asked this question, and I have an answer, but I'd rather check with you all instead, just to be sure. Can you see your insiders on the outside?      Let me explain further. I know that people with Dissociative Identity Disorder can see their internal worlds.

Once again, please remember, I’ll be writing out some of my thoughts without having conversations with the artist.  I am presenting these thoughts for educational purposes only, and my guesses or impressions could be wrong.  If I … [Read more...]

Picturing Dissociative Identity Disorder: Their Own Little Worlds

By Kathy Broady MSW 6 Comments

  This picture is an example of an internal landscape for a trauma survivor with dissociative identity disorder.  Internal worlds are very real, and they sometimes feel more real than the external world for certain parts.  Internal worlds are more than having an imagination.  They are interactive, busy, alive places. Some survivors with DID have trouble looking inside.  Many people say they can hear things, … [Read more...]
