SOME OF US LIVE NOT AS A ‘SELF',’ BUT AS A SYSTEM WITH MANY PARTS, ALTERS, PEOPLE (OR THE LANGUAGE THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOUR SYSTEM).

When we endure immense trauma, our nervous system develops mechanisms to aid in survival. For some, the conscious fragments to protect from physical or emotional pain. In this splitting, parts, alters, people (or the language that works best for your system) may develop to aid your functioning. While your system may aid in functioning in some ways, in others it may make it more difficult, or even scary to function. You may experience intense lapses in memory, struggle to function in daily life, and difficulty in relationships or occupation.

Whether your goal is to function better as a system or integrate your parts (or the language that works best for you), our team is skilled in working with multiplicity and trauma recovery.

As well as learning from skilled clinicians in the field, in our work with DID, we learn from those with lived experience and take a system positive approach.
