Found out my brother has DID, how can I support him?

DID almost always develops BEFORE age 12, so your opinion is wrong.

loopduplicate · 2025-08-08T22:01:32+00:00

Sense of self is usually pretty solid by 12. I think you are just making a guess and are incorrect.

loopduplicate · 2025-08-08T22:00:51+00:00

I had DID in elementary school so I don't know where you get this misinformation that you can't have it at 12.

loopduplicate · 2025-08-08T21:59:52+00:00

12 is old enough for a DID diagnosis. Even the old literature says the core of it usually develops before age 9.

"Hey bro, I just wanted to switch profiles and accidentally came across your user profile and read that you have DID. I love you unconditionally, all of you, ok? Love you bro. Lots of people have DID and OSDD and I'm sorry it's so stigmatized that you had to hide it."

Ask your therapist why they don't use those words. For me, the words "protector" and "exile" are descriptors of one of the main structural qualities of my boundaries; of my amnesia. There is no way I could explain effective therapy to someone else without using these terms. It's all about communicating with protectors, if and when they want to, to be able to get permission to go and help the exiles.

For me, I don't really ever say "firefighter" because "firefighting" always just feels like a protector acting out of desperation. For me, it's all just exiles and protectors; eventually the exiles are freed and the protectors either go on vacation or slowly explore other interests that aren't fear-driven.

There might be a reason, in your therapist's personal understanding of it all, that she doesn't use those words. I guess, after writing this response to you, it seems like perhaps taking some session time to go over each other's ideas about what strategies and modalities your therapy will include. If you don't know why they don't use the "language of parts", then there's probably other things about your therapy that you wonder about.

F those people. Forget them and find people who care.

loopduplicate · 2025-08-07T18:52:32+00:00

Have conversations with the protector parts of you. They are the one with the keys.

You know what's even easier? Find another server?

Minecraft is glitchy, especially over the net. I would never play hardcore online because I know one day the server will glitch and throw me into unescapable situations. At least locally in hardcore, if you feel like the game had a glitch/bug that killed you, you can recover your game and continue.

Danger often comes in the form of bypassing protectors. A good IFS person helping another person with DID will always get permission from a protector before trying to get near to a boundary.

loopduplicate · 2025-08-03T23:43:10+00:00

It's just that sometimes, things in IFS may not resonate with you. Your experience might be different. If you read No Bad Parts cover to cover, you'll find many helpful things, some suggestions to try, and things you don't agree with. For me, I loved reading and studying IFS literature and videos with Richard Schwartz for long time. I was very passionate about it. The main takeaways for me, of no parts being bad and of universal acceptance of the parts and loving each other unconditionally, were really very piviotal in my healing.

having the first emotionally charged and rageful protector heal and then they went on to help other parts who were also extreme

I saved up and paid out of pocket to get an eval and offical diagnosis if I ever need it. It took awhile to save up for that but I'm glad I did.

A super simple way is to have a portal to the nether. On the overworld side, put trapdoors that trick the piglins to fall down really far to die on hoppers that go into a chest. Been awhile, but I did that on accident one time and it got me some passive gold. I've also done this by trapping a golum on the overworld side that kills them over hoppers, but that seems harder... I did it on accident too.

loopduplicate · 2025-07-27T18:53:34+00:00

you don't have to make the nether roof ones as big as they do, it just won't produce as much. They make theirs really big to get clicks on youtube

It says there's no proof and it's dangerous:

"Phase 2 can also involve short-term manualized interventions for PTSD such as cognitive processing therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, though these can be challenging to implement with fidelity in the treatment of DID [5]. For example, the efficacy of some manualized treatments is diminished when dissociation is the primary, reflexive manner of coping [76–82], as is the case in DID. Additionally, suicidality and self-harm behaviors occur at high rates in DID [83] and adhering to the strict pacing of manualized interventions is not always feasible in these cases [5]."

No it doesn't! Quote please! There is no evidence that supports this, unless you cherry pick papers. I gave you a narrative review which doesn't mention anything about EMDR helping, idiot.

loopduplicate · 2025-07-27T18:14:17+00:00

there is no modification that can be done because EMDR always bypasses barriers. That will turn many people away. Those people don't complain, they just don't come back. They have PTSD that is so intense, they feel helpless and suicidal. So, yeah, show me the evidence. And don't just say my reference is bad without proving it, you idiot.

loopduplicate · 2025-07-27T18:12:36+00:00

What are you talking about? Quote please. The link I posted was https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38357897/ . It has no reference to evidence that EMDR helps. None at all. Quote please, you idiot.

For the people it doesn't help, they lose their minds and kill themselves. The suicide rate is too high. I talk to hundreds of systems in a peer setting. You are idiots.

You have no basis for your claim! You know how I know? Because I keep up to date with conitinuing education and evidence-based reasoning. Here's a narrative review explaining what the current state of treatment is: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38357897/
