Other Specified Dissociative Disorder 1a & 1b are very similar to DID. Prompted by an OSDD1b system reaching out to share that they initially did not think that they would find a podcast dedicated to DID to be helpful to them. They shared that they were surprised to find that not only was it helpful, but they found many similarities in what they experience reflected here. It made us all wonder how many other people living with OSDD might feel the same…and how many folks with OSDD might be seeking reflections of their experiences and haven't fully found it in the DID literature and shared stories in online spaces and haven't yet found it. In this episode we are joined by an OSDD1a and an OSDD1b system, who both generously share parts of their journey of system discovery and healing.

Episode 15 welcomes Melissa Parker, LMHC, (they/them), a plural therapist who has expertise in working with clients who have PTSD, DID, OSDD and who live with other trauma related effects. We took a deep dive into the challenges systems face when seeking care and finding resources. Sharing anecdotes from personal and professional experiences, we connect around the need for more compassion, love, openminded perspectives and a willingness to truly individualize care. Part of willingness to treat the individual involves professionals removing hard and fast barriers such as “a diagnosis of DID is an automatic exclusion to psychedelic assisted treatment.” As you will hear, psychedelics do have a place in treatment and can be profoundly helpful for some. Given the propensity for great harm, caution also needs to be exercised. Melissa takes us through how to explore the possibility while offering concrete suggestions for safety. Many systems will feel both validated and inspired by this conversation, while professionals may glean a deeper understanding around the impact of language, mindset and perspectives when delivering care to systems. Professional Bio: Melissa enjoys working with older adolescents and adults who live with the effects of complex trauma. Melissa's work and perspectives are rooted in anti-oppression practice, and the lenses of trauma-informed developmental, humanist, and transpersonal psychology. They take an integrative approach to therapy and utilize whole-person modalities such as EMDR, humanistic talk therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), and sensory/somatic-based interventions. Melissa also offers psychedelic integration therapy.Melissa welcomes the opportunity to connect with individuals from all walks of life and seeks to work from a place of cultural humility and respect. They hold a special interest in providing support and therapy to mental health professionals who have lived experience with mental health concerns, trauma, and dissociation. They also have an interest and experience in supporting individuals who seek to integrate profound spiritual experiences into daily life.In addition to their clinical work, Melissa draws on their experience as a trauma survivor and clinical professional living with PTSD and DID, to provide anti-ableism-based training, supervision, and consultation to therapists who are interested in deepening their work with clients who live with dissociationRESOURCESMelissa Parker LMHC MAPSDance Safe Fentanyl Test StripsMelissa Parker on Braving The Way Podcast This is a public episode.

IntroWhat an inspiring conversation we had! Petals of a Rose is the most accurate, respectful portrayal of Dissociative Identity Disorder available today. Listen in to learn more about Holly and Dylan: why they created the film, their views & experiences with DID, and their current and future projects as well as how you can participate!More About Holly & DylanHolly and Dylan Crumpler are a mother-son team of passionate activists working to reduce the stigma associated with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Given that DID has historically been depicted in an inaccurate, sensationalized, and violent way in film and television, Dylan created his senior thesis film, Petals of a Rose, at Chapman University to realistically depict a day in the life of a woman with DID. He co-wrote the screenplay with his mother, Holly, who was diagnosed with DID in 2018 at the age of 51.Holly is a retired Tax Partner at Deloitte, an international public accounting firm, where she worked for 25 years consulting with corporations regarding their global compensation and benefit programs. Dylan is an independent filmmaker and 2022 graduate of Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production with an emphasis in Directing and a Themed Inquiry in Leadership.Petals of a Rose has received international acclaim, with Dylan and Holly sharing the film at numerous mental health conferences and educational events. The film is being used by clinicians in training sessions, college courses, and therapeutic settings. The film's subtitles are available in twelve languages.Following is the link where you can watch the 15 minute film and learn more about its impact: Watch Petals of a Rose HerePlease consider rating and reviewing Petals of a Rose on IMDb: Rate & Review Petals of a Rose on IMDbDylan and Holly are now developing a documentary exploring the impact of misrepresentation of DID in film and television, and also a longer film/series expanding on the story of their short film's protagonist, Rose. Seeking to incorporate the voices and stories of those living with and treating dissociative conditions to be represented in their projects, they have put together a questionnaire to gather input and ideas.

It is challenging to find competent care for DID, given how few providers have training in it. Sometimes, even those who claim to have significant training can cause harm depending on their approach and how it impacts the specific system they are treating. There is plenty of heated discussion about talking directly to parts and whether or not therapists should or shouldn't do so in the context of therapy sessions. The discussion is so charged at times, it often feels like no one is listening. Many of those without lived experience often assume dysfunction where there is, in fact, great function. We decided to do a more personal share in this episode to explore the topic of therapy and talking directly to parts. Illustrating in what we hope is a balanced way, the harm caused by one approach and the benefits reaped by another. This episode is for both therapists and systems alike. Through a more personal share of therapeutic experiences, therapists can better understand the need for flexibility, compassion and direct relationships with parts. Systems will see how the right training and credentials do not always translate into helpful therapeutic experiences, but will take away red flags to look for and suggestions for strategies to help their providers course correct when needed.

Everyone says that internal communication is integral to the ultimate goal of system cooperation and collaboration. That sweet spot where you're all working together like a well-oiled machine.

This episode is full of ideas for you to play with to see what might work for you and your system. If it doesn't work right away, don't give up! Building relationships with our parts takes time and effort -not to mention a hefty side of patience sprinkled with compassion. It can be hard work, but you(s) are worth it! (Yep, you're worth it, even if you don't believe that yet!) Gentle Reminders:Every system is unique.Every system is special.Every system is valid.Every system deserves respect.Not everything will resonate with you.

We've been wanting to launch a podcast for a while now and …here it is! This episode is an introduction to us and our thoughts about what the podcast will be. We also tackle the uber common experience of denial in DID- it was one of the first things that we wrestled with. In fact, it's so common, we haven't met a system who hasn't grappled with it. We share some thoughts on how to cope with denial and if you'd like to dig in a little deeper for yourselves, you can always revisit our Denial Files Blog. If you have topics you'd like us to cover, please don't be shy and let us know. We are honored that you are joining us for this journey and we hope you enjoy this new venture of ours.Thank you for tuning in for our first episode!
