Hi Felicity73.
I found it helpful to give a name to each different part of my personality. I was able to identify that part of me that was childlike, for instance, so I gave 'her' a little girl name. And so I went That helped me to discover several 'aspects', all of which are part of the one me, although I didn't want to accept that initially.

I went to an outstanding psychiatrist who helped me a lot through doing psychodrama. That was amazing, exhausting yet incredible work, which eventually enabled me to heal. Sometimes I slip back, but know I have some skills to process through. Oh, yes, journaling helped me hugely too, and drawing.

All the best with it!

@Felicity73 I have DID, CPTSD, plus other labels. I found reading about DID helpful. There are some good books out now. I would recommend working through them with a counsellor if you have one. Some can be triggering.

Its tricky and complex. For me, slowly uncovering my past has been helpful and challenging.

I can leave some book titles for you if it’s helpful.

Hi,

Im so pleased you're journaling and creating with art. I found that really helpful to do.

I think reading up about DID could also be good. I didn't read anything but it sounds an excellent idea.

Good on you for reaching out about this and I wish you eventual healing and recovery .
