Can You See Inside Outside?

By Kathy Broady MSW 37 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...]

Seeing Multiplicity – Keaton Style

By Kathy Broady MSW 6 Comments

  Multiplicity, the 1996 movie with Michael Keaton, is not specifically about Dissociative Identity Disorder – it is technically about being cloned -- but it is a funny, light-hearted comedy that absolutely pertains to DID / MPD.   Have you watched this show? Keaton’s character has a lot in common with DID.  As you watch the movie, you can see the following similarities happen in this … [Read more...]

Remembering Annemaria

By Kathy Broady MSW 57 Comments

  There is a young woman who will always be precious to me.  I haven’t spoken to her in years, but she forever changed my life.   Just in being herself, Annemaria gave me my very first introduction to Dissociative Disorders.  She changed my life.  Absolutely and completely. This date – October 23rd --  had specific meaning for her. And every year on this date, I specifically think of her. The story … [Read more...]

Protecting Your Inner Self from Perpetrators

By Kathy Broady MSW 14 Comments

  Trauma survivors know all about perpetrators. Dissociative trauma survivors know all about sadistic perpetrators. Dissociative trauma survivors with a background in ritual abuse, or mind control, or sex slavery organizations know all about truly evil perpetrators.   Those of us in the world who were not directly exposed to such darkness have a hard time grasping its depth.  It seems surreal to us.  … [Read more...]
