What Is dissociative Identity disorder? is one of the most common questions that we are asked on the subject. So, here is another attempt to answer in a meaningful and intelligible way. Hopefully we managed, let us know!
Our Functional Multiplicity Peer Support Group, meeting Saturdays at 19:00 GMT, has three openings. It's designed for those with secondary dissociation and embraces all gender identities. We focus on weekly topics such as managing internal conflict and navigating daily life with dissociation.
Principles & Values of Peer Support We are a proud user-led group member of the National Survivor User Network and encorage everyone to become individual members. See the Peer Support Charter: Our focus Our specific focus is in supporting individuals’ journeys to improve their quality of life while validating their struggles and identity with empathy […]
This post shares the experiences of a child alter and it is explanatory and analytical and shows how sys members who are supported can slowly heal.
There are some issues, especially in terms of continuity. However, I think that we are learning to use “dissociation” in many adaptive ways.

Our “pruning” problems give us the capacity to branch out concepts and ideas into full analyses of options and potential problem/solutions combination.
I found that we are quite often not allowed to choose/request/accept the services we need and want; instead, we have to take what we are given and be grateful.
In my personal opinion, rejecting masking is not just about being honest, or authentic. There is a lot of potential for trauma and for Structural Dissociation.
We encourage our inner fam to express themselves and to post on the Blog. Here Teo, one of the littles, talks about healing
As a plural, CSA is experienced in many ways. For example, some in a collective may never have experienced it. Here is a young survivor's POV
Fast switching can be very unsettling both for us and those around us. Here Herbie gives an overview of how our Collective experiences this.
From personal experience, ADHDers are very resourceful. Helplessness is certainly a learnt trait, ADHD resilience comes from Being happy with Oneself
Internal relationships can be complicated and depend on many factors. Here are some thoughts from some of our younger insiders.
Our most successful Host of 20 years went dormant for a while and recently came back to us. Here they are telling their System's story
Resources are messy, sorry, we read a lot, and forget a lot too … We will try and keep all posts in the category ND Review and also the tag ND Review. We will try and be as disciplined as possible. This page is mainly to give you access to stuff that is not, or likely not to […]
Psychoses and neurodivergence of any kind, including plurality, are an important subject. Unfortunately, psychotic behaviour is in the eyes of the beholder.
The Essex Mental Health Independent Inquiry, led by Baroness Lampard, is investigating deaths of patients across NHS Trusts in Essex from 2000-2020. Local Residents are urged to contact the Inquiry with evidence and question local leaders about NELFT's role in patient safety and potential negligence.
Functional blending of alters and selves can be managed well in a reasonably stable system. Read some tips from one of our hosts
I want to focus on coping mechanisms and healing strategies and do not want to talk directly about the experiences of CSA, but Trigger Warning in case.
We perceive Consciousness in 4 different dimensions with time being a potential focal point, or what we call The Now-Space.
I probably shouldn’t post anything. I am one of the Dark Ones, and I guess a trigger warning is appropriate. I don’t really mind the others, actually I love them, and they love me, it’s good, it’s the first time that I found people who love me. But yeah, the struggle is real … remembering […]
Since discovering being plural, how has our system evolved along the way? Self-analysis and brutal honesty are always essential to progress. A bitter truth is better than a sweet lie!
Are you a plural? According to Internal Family Systems (a proven psychotherapy approach used to treat PTSD and a range of other severe dissociative disorders) everybody is a plural, so there is nothing to be concerned about! Once we combine that with the Theory of Structural Dissociation it is quite intuitive to see how distinct […]
Meltdown? it is an expression of assertiveness, self-respect, and self-determination. It is how we say you may not respect me 🚫, but I do!
