I appreciate this video so much. Of course, I admire Dr. Ross. He’s helped me so much for several decades. I have DID. BUT II truly appreciated and enjoyed the host & the questions that were asked. There is a beautiful honesty with all involved. Thank you! 💚
I saw Dr. Ross speak on mpd (now DID) years ago in Toronto at a conference on CSA. There were over 70 individuals in the room with mpd/did. It was the turning point for me to accept and understand my own splits, and in therapy, change my life. Therapy also allowed me to discover and stop the abuse my own son was enduring at age 3 from my brother (the same abuser who abused me). Another therapist told me my brother would not abuse my son because he was not homosexual, but the therapist I went to later showed me how to tell, and helped me stop his abuse. We would not be where we are now without having seen him talk. :)
As a child I began creating personas to cope . Then I continued creating more . Eventually I lost control and different personas would appear in a blink depending on the situation . My life is like a book with many missing pages . Years lost in amnesia .
I plan to be a therapist, and this is exactly what I want to specialize in the most. In part because it's extremely interesting to me and in part because I have DID and I think I can really help people. Great video!
The problem with the beginning questions how to recognise is that such a large portion of people with DID do not know about these things and the front part can present without any of these things at least at first. They may not think they have any childhood trauma. What about programmed DID from abuser groups? What if they are so dissociated that they don’t present as having these things? That’s where so many must not be found. I understand Dr.Ross is trying to explain in the most likely way for it to be accepted but it’s hard to watch how these tips won’t help this interviewer to spot a large proportion of people struggling with dissociation. And this is a man trying to understand… ah ❤😅
Dr. Colin Ross is amazing!!!!

My mother had three different handwriting styles. Im slowly coming to understand the impact of being the child of someone with DID.
Oh wow!

Good stuff - your experience is so valuable Dr. Ross - Thank you Moshe - seans
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed. The man is so engaging and wise!
I haven't listened to the entire interview yet, but does Dr Ross ever consider spirit attachment vs DID?
How about walk-ins? Two people at birth.
