What is a Perpetrator Introject in a Dissociative DID System?

By Kathy Broady MSW 50 Comments

    Introjects.   Working with introjects in a dissociative system is an incredibly difficult but absolutely important part of your healing.  It might feel a bit triggery to learn about these insiders in your system because of what they are attached to, but it's massively important to address them, especially if you'd like to achieve system harmony, internal cohesion and an overall sense of healing and … [Read more...]

Can You See Inside Outside?

By Kathy Broady MSW 36 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. The internal world for dissociative survivors typically has a landscape, several … [Read more...]

20 Types of Dissociative Splits

By Kathy Broady MSW 119 Comments

    It always amazes me when dissociative trauma survivors tell me that after they've met three or four of their inside alters (or maybe even a few more than that, but not many), that they think they've met everyone in their system.  They think they don't have that many dissociative splits in their DID system, or they think that they are "done" meeting their insiders. That never makes sense to me.  Oh, I … [Read more...]

Introjects – What are Introjects?

By Kathy Broady MSW 22 Comments

    I am frequently asked “What are introjects?”   Most DID trauma survivors have introjects as part of their dissociative system, but there is a lot of confusion as to what introjects actually are.  There is even more confusion about what to do with an introject when you find one. Introjects are alters -- an inside part of your system.  They are a specific type of insider, but they are an inside part … [Read more...]
