What is Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)?

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a complex trauma-related condition where an individual experiences two or more distinct identity states or “parts.” These parts may have different memories, emotions, behaviors, and perspectives. DID often develops as a response to severe childhood trauma, serving as a coping mechanism to protect the individual from overwhelming experiences.


Common Signs of DID:


✔ Feeling like different “parts” of yourself take control at different times
✔ Gaps in memory or losing time (dissociative amnesia)
✔ Experiencing internal voices or different perspectives in your mind
✔ Struggling with identity confusion or feeling disconnected from yourself
✔ Anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress symptoms
✔ Difficulty maintaining relationships due to emotional shifts


DID is not a weakness—it is a natural response to trauma. Therapy can help you navigate your system, increase stability, and foster inner communication and self-understanding.

Our Approach to DID Therapy

We recognize that every DID system is unique, so we create a personalized therapy plan based on your needs. Our goal is to help you feel safe, connected, and in control of your life.


We Focus on:


✅ Safety & Stability First – We help you develop coping strategies before processing trauma.
✅ Building Internal Communication – Learning to work with your system, not against it.
✅ Understanding Your Parts – Identifying their roles, needs, and emotions.
✅ Processing Trauma at Your Pace – Using evidence-based techniques to heal past wounds.
✅ Empowerment & Self-Acceptance – Helping you embrace your full self with compassion.

Therapy Modalities for DID

We use trauma-focused and dissociation-informed therapy techniques to support your healing:


  • For trauma processing without overwhelming distress.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – To manage anxiety, negative thoughts, and self-doubt.
  • Somatic Therapy & Mindfulness – To ground you in the present and reduce dissociation.
  • Sand Play Therapy – A creative and nonverbal approach to processing trauma and emotions.
  • Creative Expression – Incorporating art, writing, and movement to support communication and healing. 
  • Flash Technique – A gentle trauma-processing method to reduce distress without overwhelming emotions.
  • Progressive Counting – A structured trauma treatment that helps process painful memories safely.
  • Person-Centered & Strength-Based Therapy – Because you are the expert of your own system.

What to Expect in DID Therapy

1️⃣ Establishing Safety & Trust

In the beginning, we focus on building a secure foundation so that therapy feels safe. You will learn grounding techniques and coping skills to manage distress.


2️⃣ Improving Internal Communication

We work on understanding and communicating with different parts of your system so that daily life feels less chaotic and more manageable.


3️⃣ Processing Trauma (At Your Own Pace)

When you feel ready, we gently process past experiences using trauma-informed approaches to reduce triggers and distress.


4️⃣ Moving Toward Integration or Cooperation

Some individuals seek better system cooperation, while others work toward integration. Therapy is about what works best for YOU—no single path is required.
