I'm not American so awareness of Americans of any race was really not on my family's radar. Saying that my abuser was an extreme and open bigot with constant spouting of how X, Y, Z should be put to death... which included people with disabilities, overweight people, people of certain races. Having an abuser who was such a 'Nazi' likely caused me to develop one of my teams alters as an African American drawn from news footage of MLK and what he stood for in terms of equality and anti-bigotry
Would you to tell a little bit more of how the hypnosis helped you? I'm thinking of trying hypnosis but my main wish would be to get someone else to hear me saying something that would prove that I have some sort of dissociative disorder. As my system has worked very tightly over the years (no lost time), I guess it would be safe not to disclose my view of me having a DD and just be open to whatever result.
@xdarksamurai11x There are also many who suffered extreme abuse since early childhood and because they had no inherited tendency toward dissociation did not develop the protective responses of DID. I also don't think any one human being can be blamed for hurting all of those with a particular diagnosis.
If you check the most recent literature you'll find they've found an inherited tendency to disocciation. The medical literature also cites there are some with DID who did not experience extreme abuse, but inherited a tendency to disocciation. Those with autism and other developmental disabilities have a higher ratio of child abuse than children without developmental disabilities so there will be those with the complication of DID.
Thanks Donna! I too am familiar with that same old story that nobody wants to know about or talk about the Other Selves, like so many of us experience I'm afraid. I hope now that you have the diagnosis, if you haven't already, you will find that it fills in some gaps of your understanding of Self(ves) and you can find new and helpful ways to both cope and bloom as a result of the literature etc out there.

@xdarksamurai11x
I am formally diagnosed with DID.
If you check the most recent literature you'll find they've found an inherited tendency to disocciation. The medical literature also cites there are some with DID who did not experience extreme abuse, but inherited a tendency to disocciation. Those with autism and other developmental disabilities have a higher ratio of child abuse than children without developmental disabilities so there will be those with the complication of DID.
