… by Ella Everett, foreword by Dr Adrian Fletcher. == A Brilliant Adaptation: How DID and the power of the therapeutic bond saved me, by Sally Maslansky, sounds like a great book, from what we’ve heard. Well, this post isn’t about A Brilliant Adaptation, because we read the first chapter and honestly, were finding it…

A couple of months ago, we posted about a research study we’d just enrolled in as a participant; the PREDICTSELF study, on sense of self in DID, at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London. We posted about it here. In that post, we talked about screening & assessment of…

And shout out also to @TheZebraPuzzle for recommending this one to us, soon after we started this blog last year! We listen to podcasts a lot less than we did in our 3-hour-work-commute days as a Behavioural Science Director on the other side of London – but Healing My Parts is probably the first we’ve…

Harley, our resident 5-year old lil’ cheeky monkey, has been around a lot lately.

But here’s one you may not have heard of… Identiteaze is a 2024, 45-minute drama, written & directed by Jessie Earl. It’s exclusive to the Nebula subscription service, and it’s not a big-budget affair – so I…

It’s been an interesting month or two for us. — Decisions, decisions We don’t want to talk specifics, because it’s early days and some of us sometimes feel forced by what we share – but I’ve been making some decisions recently, and sticking by them, even when they felt hard. In the confusion of trauma…

Research is awesome. We’ve worked in the field of psychology & health research for over 15 years. Well, now we’re getting involved in a slightly different way – by participating in a study being led by researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London (KCL). It’s on sense of self and self-related processing in…

In the dissociation & parts lingo, you might hear people talking about something called, “passive influence”. This is where a part that isn’t currently “fronting” influences the part(s) up front through thoughts, behaviours, urges, sensations, etc. These influences may be experienced as, “ego dystonic” – i.e. as not arising from oneself. Sometimes, you might come…

The holidays are a mixed bag, for us. We used to love love love Christmas, and I think, we’ve continued that enthusiasm throughout most of our life. There have been exceptions, and last year was a really, really tough one. Last Christmas was one of the hardest days of my life (that I can remember…
