Note: There was a blog before this one under the same name, but they deactivated and I snatched this URL for myself. Sorry if that causes any confusion!
Welcome to dissociative-misinfo!
What is this blog? The purpose of this blog is to help destigmatize and spread awareness on dissociation, dissociative disorders, and complex trauma. I aim to investigate potential misinfo and help give you the tools you need to be able to do your own research on these topics!
Who am I? I'm a diagnosed adult with DID who has recovered to a point of final fusion and remission. Aside from my lived experience, I have an academic background in psychology with a focus on developmental psych. I am not a licensed professional, though, so please do not ask me for medical advice or a diagnosis!
Who can interact? Anyone! You are allowed to be here and engage so long as you do so in good faith and are respectful to me and others. I will block if it's necessary.
Doing your own research? Here's some resources -
How to evaluate sources - please read this

A note on terminology... The terms used to talk about dissociation and having multiple identities/selves is vast and varied. In my posts, I mostly refer to the identities/selves inside of one body as 'parts' or 'alters'. The entire collective of parts together is what I call the 'system'. These are my preferred terms for myself -- not everyone uses them! So, if these are not your preferred terms, that is perfectly okay. I hope that my posts can still be useful to you, regardless!
