Your analogy with the over heated phone is so interesting because it resonates for me. Thank you

I have seen data that indicates DID occurs in 1% of the population, that most presentations are covert, that it is under/mis diagnosed most often, and that most persons are in treatment for 5-7 years before accurately diagnosed/treated. You both describe DID as very rare. What do you think about this? Am I wrong?

One thing with me when I disassociate, is I'll be doing something like watching TV or something, and then I will find myself in the middle of Walmart doing some shopping. I would have no memory of how I got there or what I would stop in for. This one time I even ended up in another state. Had no memory of how I got there or why I was even there. It is really frightening and unnerving to know that I disassociate like that. I live in a small town and not many therapists here know anything about disassociation, or they just have a baseline knowledge of it. I have a DX of osdd1-a. Would you know of any resources that I can give my therapist to help her understand more in depth about dissociation?

DID isn't that rare. And it's not like how the movies portray it at all.
