Would you have a problem with someone with DID who has a spiritual/religious belief that's atypical about the way the souls of my system functions? Because I've been in treatment for two and a half years but my spirituality has never been an issue. I see all of my alters and myself as their own beings with a soul. We have a conglomerate soul that's like a little sac that contains all of us. No matter the fusions and splits we remain there. The aspects of the numerous souls will not go elsewhere. We will always be plural. Even if we didn't have DID. We would have some other form of spiritual multiplicity.
And a few more questions- would you aggressively rail against and view my religious beliefs because they're not Christian or to your own liking and you deem what my own gods have helped me understand about myself- as profane?
Does my religion and spiritual beliefs suddenly mean I should be forcibly undiagnosed with DID. Does my suffering with amnesia and dissociation and horrific flashbacks daily no longer matter because I hold religious ideas you dislike?
Should doctors and medical professionals forcibly mind fuck me and erase my religious beliefs and force me to conform to their own religions or atheism in the name of recovery when my religion has never once stopped my integration and fusions?
I debated answering this because I can say confidently this is 1. assuming an insane amount about me and 2. clearly not in good faith. But lets go through this regardless V_V
I don't really have a problem with it, not on paper anyways. I think its definitely potentially a harmful way to view your alters because viewing them too separately can absolutely encourage dissociation, and additionally it could encourage ideas of DID that are not conducive with current accepted theories. Specifically, it's important to remember that ultimately DID forms from amnesia barriers put up between ego states in childhood, not souls coming into you. But frankly, as long as you understand that is how DID forms, and you do not promote this as THE way DID works, I could care less. I will say though, I do not support "plurality" in fully and only spiritual ways.
I am not christan. Like at all LOL. I am Jewish, and more so believe in reincarnation, souls, witchcraft, the whole nine yards. I also come from a romani family, so a lot of religious beliefs I hold are directly influenced by that. I am very notably not christan, or really influenced by christanity. So no I don't care, believe what you want man. Literally no where am I like "I HATE ALL RELIGIONS THAT ARENT MY OWN!!"
Once again, this is assuming a lot about me that I'm not sure where you got. This is clearly just a bad faith point lol
First of all, forcibly mind fuck is really good I'm stealing that. Secondly, absolutely not. Just because a thought process can be harmful doesn't mean it is. If it works for you and the professionals you are with, go for it man. Religion can help a lot in working through trauma and like, healing. I am glad you found what has worked for me. Becoming religious actually helped me a lot after my initial CPS reports for my abuse, os I completely understand.
I hope in the future you can lock in and have some better, less aggressive thoughts and takes or whatever lol
