strategies included help you with issues related to triggers,
flashbacks, and body memories. Got Parts also includes a detailed
list of outside resources you can draw on. This book is intended to

curiosity, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is now understood to
be a fairly common outcome of severe trauma in young children most
typically extreme and repeated physical, sexual, and/or emotional
abuse, and often lack of attachment. Formerly called Multiple
Personality Disorder, DID is a condition in which a person has two
or more distinct identities or personality states that recurrently
take control of the person's consciousness and behavior. Symptoms
can include depression, mood swings, panic or anxiety attacks,
substance abuse, memory loss, propensity for trances, sleep and
eating disorders, distrust, detachment, lack of self-care, and
distress or impairment at work.
