We would like to make something very clear, Our page is not for Non-traumagenic SYSTEMS, all PLURAL people are allowed as every legit scientific/psychology website you will find on DID/OSDD/USDD/Etc will only ever state they are formed due to trauma. Plurality on the other hand can be formed by anything. All systems are plural, NOT all plurals are systems. You can be mad at us, hate on us, come after us, etc all you want but our stance is from a legitimate science/psychology backed standpoint.

"Memory loss in PTSD is often fragmented and related to the trauma. Memory loss in DID can involve traumatic memories but also loss of day-to-day events, personal information, or even the date and time."
This quote proves it can easily be mistaken as DID/OSDD when it isn't: "DID can overlap with personality disorders, mood disorders, or psychotic disorders. Gaps in recall happen in borderline personality disorder, with dissociation and inability to recall events especially in the context of mood dysregulation. People with PTSD may also experience cognitive dissonance and be unable to recall certain events."
"Factor one is how well the person learned to dissociate in the face of factor two: traumatic childhood experiences. Factor three is lack of stable external emotional support and validation. All three of these factors theoretically combine to create the fourth factor, which is the presence of independent alters with distinct names and identities. "
"People who identify as plurals state that they can switch consciously between headmates. In DID, the switching happens in response to a traumatic event or a stressor that can cause one alter to come in and the other to go out. "
"Persons with plural identity see it as their way of being. They are functional in their day-to-day life. They may come to treatment for another condition, such as depression, but not to integrate their headmates. They see plurality as a form of diversity, not a disorder"

Removing yourself from a stressful or traumatic environment (like moving homes).
Physical or sexual abuse.
Multiple medical procedures during childhood.
"Therapy for DID focuses on:
Identifying and working through past trauma.
Managing sudden behavioral changes.
Merging separate identities into a single identity."

"There is no way to have DID without trauma." (Literally in the article)

"Tertiary structural dissociation, or DID (though in practicality, many cases of OSDD-1 as well and not necessarily all cases of DID), occurs when trauma causes multiple emotional parts, each handling different aspects of the trauma"
"Secondary structural dissociation occurs when trauma causes multiple emotional parts"
"The EP handles only defensive actions such as those related to fight, flight, freeze, or submission and contains only traumatic aspects"

"Dissociative disorders often develop as a way to deal with a catastrophic event or with long-term stress, abuse or trauma."
"Because dissociative disorders appear on the trauma spectrum, many people with a dissociative disorder may have co-occurring trauma-related mental health conditions"

"Experiences of severe trauma most frequently cause other specified dissociative disorders. Often, this trauma occurs in early childhood, although dissociative symptoms can sometimes take years or decades to emerge."
Again, sorry who gets mad at scientific and psychological facts. We suggest all pro/neu Non-traumagenic "systems" just ignore this post and block, all hate will be removed and ignored. All plurals are welcome here so long as they don't claim to be a system with some/little/no trauma at all and do understand they are plural not a system.
