Women at the Well
If you have a family member or loved one who has been diagnosed with trauma-induced Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), or your loved one comes from such a traumatized background that you struggle to understand how to continue to show love to one who has no idea how to understand and receive it, you are not alone.
In matters of dissociation, unfortunately, there are very few faith-based resources that are helpful for understanding what to do after a loved one receives this very complicated and heartbreaking diagnosis. I believe God led you here to encourage you with the truth: Yes, there are other women who understand. If you have a heart for helping to restore the shattered, Thank you! Your ministry to the deeply wounded is not easy, and it is so important.
If you are one of those shattered people who is looking for help as you pick up the pieces of your heart, I pray that these resources will be an encouragement to you on your journey, however, it would be best for you to read it with your PTSD, DID professionally trained counselor. Here are some of the most helpful resources I’ve found for understanding and helping your loved one, and for taking good care of yourself along the way.

Trauma Coping System - Dissociation as a response to intolerable conflict
“Dissociation is a God-made tool given those who are overwhelmed with pain (emotional or physical). When that overwhelm happens in childhood, a Trauma Coping System may develop. This system assists the child in coping when trauma is happening. Once the child is out of the traumatic situation, or when they reach adulthood, the Trauma Coping System can make life difficult. They may experience confusing feelings, racing thoughts, anxiety, or depression. Learn the basics of the Trauma Coping System, as well as the basic elements needed for complete healing and restoration.” - Melissa Finger, M.S
