Deep Brain Re-orienting

[@Marc16180]

There isn't a lot of content on here about "post-DID", meaning life with DID after trauma processing. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. I'm sure that others are also glad to see that there really can be light at the end of the tunnel.

[@mivical]

definitely!!

[@thepeculiarmaple]

I relate to the high trigger season bit! 😭❤️❤️ I have a calm place thing I do that helps, and so does the compartmentalizing box acticity 😅

[@thepeculiarmaple]

Holy crap, your story made me realize I may be in final fusion myself?? I started to think more: the last year has had its ups and downs, but over the past 6 months Ive felt so much less dissasociated and more present than ever. My long term and short term memory is improving. I can do mental math now. Its still a hit or miss, snd sometimes alters kinda come back in a way thats distinct, but for the most part stuff is going in a new direction? I think that makes me so happy. Im excited for the future

[@thepeculiarmaple]

Also, as much as I know DID can mask itself, I know that while I still have it I am no longer doubting as many of the things Im doing or saying. We are very aware now of our actions. We feel pressnt. And while thats a bit uncomfortable, this is actually helpful cause now we are doing things for ALL, which eliminates choices that are dangerous or negative? Its like a breathe of fresh air.❤

[@thepeculiarmaple]

Still in the in between state, but makes me think more positively on this all.

[@jscire__872]

I’m very happy for you ❤

Thank you for the information. First time hearing about DBR.

[@whimsylore]

Thanks for sharing! Really appreciate it

Will have to ask my therapist about this technique! I think we need more somatic processing for things. EMDR was very intense! Our system has had some significant fusions recently and I'm beginning to think our healing journey might take us to some sort of final fusion too, even if it wasn't what we set out to do when processing started. It just seems to happen naturally. How do you relate to plurality in this state now? What words would you use to describe that experience? Thank you so much for continuing to post content like this! It gives us a lot of hope. Wishing you well!!

[@GianuSystem]

I still relate to plurality, I still see many sides and aspects, but all feel first person. It’s been hard to explain but overwhelmingly a positive experience.

[@thepeculiarmaple]

Im gonna have to look into this, cause I already have what feels like dissasociative non epileptic seizures....and it mimics this a bit? It makes me think there is DEFINITELY hope here, cause sometimes I feel like even then as scary as those are I get the sense something can be utilized there? I am now filled with mych more hope, cause EMDR is so hard, but its on the right track. Tai chi for example feels very helpful....so I think my body is storing the stuff physically, which is the worst parts for me. Thanks!

[@thepeculiarmaple]

I say that because like. Ive had a few happen around a friend, and then because they said something kind to me it made me snap out of it and realize I was okay? I just need to look into this further.

How often do you see your counselor at this point. How frequently have you seen a counselor at the beginning versus now?

[@GianuSystem]

It was three times a week for a little while, but it’s every other week now.

Hello ^^ I know this out of the blue, but as someone who writes very frequently and has been encouraged to get a second degree in it, I was wondering if you’ve ever experienced character voices? I write primarily fiction and sci-fi, nothing published but all original. I’ve been reading “Bird by Bird” by Anne Lamott, and she touches on hearing and dealing with character voices in your head a little. It made me less feel alone. But since discovering I’m a system, I’ve have trouble distinguishing between character voices and other alters, as the host. I’ve come to realize that some of us are introjects of characters I’d (or another headmate) had already written years ago. I don’t who which came first sometimes. I was wondering, do you also experience character voices? Do you have any tips for differentiating them from alter voices, as a new system?

[@GianuSystem]

Many systems who are writers have this exact issue, and it may be impossible to suss out which came first, the alter or the lore. As for sorting alters from characters, time will probably help, but generally, if they talk back to you, it’s likely an alter.

[@blushadowcat]

@@GianuSystem Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🤍 We’re really glad not to be alone in this. All I can think is, “oh boy, have I had a lot of back and forth with 2-3 characters about how they want their story written in extremely specific ways, and even arguments…” I’ll have to pay closer attention. You might have just helped me reach more of parts who need help, perhaps, but haven’t shown themselves in full / have relied on my writing as a means of expression. Wish people who hurt and traumatized brains didn’t make things so complicated - but in the same breath I’m infinitely grateful to people who have the courage to talk about it online. Honestly, this means a lot.

[@ImmmaI]

Do you think it's useful to tell (new) people you have DID after fusion? Because you can still split again

[@GianuSystem]

I think that as a part of my story, it’ll continue be something we tell people close to us.
