» TiaNaranja - So ME!!
Wow, this article seems to answer the question of my stalemate. I already have plenty of information and some memories of what happened, but I'm still totally separate from the alter(s) involved. This truly is the last mile of my recovery. If I can get past this particular block... But how?!?-- posted by TiaNaranja
» kallisti9 - why don't I care?
why is it I can read all about all this stuff, abuse, death, mind control, extreem opressiveness, torture, etc etc, and not care? Why doesn't it make me feel something? Surly it should stoke the fires of rightgeouss fury and make me at least somewhat shocked? Am I some kind of psychopath or something? I asked my dad and he said all the people who care about things are really faking it (apart from those directly involved)... is that true? Or are we just so numb?-- posted by kallisti9
» diana_rainbow - Denial
I have for many years denied that I was 'multiple'. Once, when about 30 parts came out in rapid sucession with me there, at a later session the body went into shaking convulsions. It was as if I had failed. Now I am looking at shell ( I call it shatter) programming. There are many behind me and 'I' was only ever used as a voicebox so the d.i.d. would go undetected. It is very likely that that was my job long ago to maintain the appearance of one. I have no real existence except them - and some co-existences perhaps, but without any sense of connection. Mr. Nobody, Cocoon, the presenter, the system facilitator etc. etc. Denial has driven one of my therapists almost crazy, but shell programming would have been to hard to accept. Thus denial has served its purpose but is increasingly being broken downRespectfully,
Shattered but not broken

» Honeydew93 - Re: Denial
In response to message posted by diana_rainbow:I feel for you, diana rainbow. I also have DID which has been well masked due in part to shell programming and I also struggle with the issue of denial. I have met the author of the article on denial at a recent conference and am receiving Christian counselling following the principles taught by Rev. and Mrs Hawkins. It is hard work, and progress seems slow, and I know how difficult it is to relinquish the denial. Don't give up. There are others just like you and we can heal.
Honeydew.
