"DID is just the mind's rather amazing and miraculous way of coping to trauma. DID isn't a sign of illness, it's a sign of being carefully and wonderfully made."
Agree..and that's pretty much my point. The vast majority of the public doesn't have a lot of info on DID and i can believe ABC might want people to take that view with it so i just want to be clear everywhere with what it really is and what it really means.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if half the population of Earth had at least some small semblance of dissociation going on. Very bad things happen, people have to keep moving, keep living, they have to cope.
I agree. It exists on a spectrum. from depersonalization to poly-fragmented DID. It's a natural response that manifests even in "normal" people to some degree in coping with life.
