Do you happen to have any sources about those with a CDD splitting more alters after childhood? I’m currently trying to help my friend, who is confused because she can’t find any sources about it.

Note: I know a CDD forms in childhood. I’m looking for any resources you may have about alters splitting AFTER that initial formation. I looked online and could only find one article that mentions how it’s possible for a system to continue splitting even into adulthood.

Thank you for your time :-) happy new year! 🧧

No DNI, hi!

So the DSM straight up talks about this.

The disorder is developed in childhood, but once the ability to form alters is there, it can happen at any point over the course of a lifespan. You can completely fuse and twenty years down the line, split again because something triggered you.

Here's the two important bits from the DSM.

Splitting becomes a coping mechanism and the point of therapy is unlearning that habit and developing new strategies.

"Splitting" isn't an accurate term, so it makes finding research hard.

I suggest this CTAD clinic video, which describes why people continue to create alters in adulthood.

This is a good paper.

This interrupted process may end up in a clinical condition soon or later; i.e. the subject may develop an overt dissociative disorder in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood while the incomplete trauma process remains dormant. Sar and Ozturk propose that8 the clinical syndrome of dissociative disorder becomes manifest after the “traumatic turning point” which does not need to be the worst traumatic experience in the life of the subject.The postponed process may take start in any age; usually becoming clinically manifest in early twenties of age.

Here's a good website

"Only children have sufficient flexibility (and vulnerability) to adapt to trauma by means of creating alter “personalities”. All D.I.D begins in childhood. Adults do not have the capacity to adapt to trauma by forming alter personalities. The exception is that adults who develop D.I.D during childhood can continue to create more alters during adulthood, but such creation is not a part of the conscious mind."

Here's another paper if you can find it.

From the isstd treatment guidelines.

The identities may develop in number, complexity, and sense of separateness as the child proceeds through latency, adolescence, and adulthood.

Traumaformed and Traumataformed

More -formed terms

Traumaformed - A term used to refer to an alter that's formation is in some way related to or viewed because of as either current(in reference to when the alter formed) trauma, reminders of past trauma, or whose formation itself was somehow traumatic to the system. This may be literal, metaphorical, or somewhere in between.

Traumataformed - A subtype of traumaformed, that specifically is due to frequently repeating traumatic events or (at least somewhat) extended periods of time in a consistently traumatic situation or situations.[Traumata is older plural form of the word trauma]

[-alyzed and -stallized versions]

Traumasplitformed(Traumasplit) and Traumatasplitformed(Traumatasplit)

Same definition as above but specifically about splitting.

Traumafuseformed(Traumafused) and Traumatafuseformed(Traumatafused)

Same definition as above but specifically about alters who view(or are viewed) their fusion as the formation of a new alter.

Traumawakeformed(Traumawaked) and Traumatawakeformed(Traumatawaked)

Same definition as above but specifically about alters who view(or are viewed) their coming out of dormancy as the formation of a new alter.

TraumanowPCformed(TraumanowPC) and TraumatanowPCformed(TraumatanowPC)

-formed

A suffix referring to how or why a specific alter formed, view themself as having formed, and/or are viewed by others in-system, in their system. For example 'Stressformed', would refer to an alter that formed because another alter(s) or the (sub)system as a whole was under stress.

They can also have to do with the alter's feeling about why they exist. For example, an Introject who died in source may consider themself to have been reborn into the system, and as such consider themself 'rebirthformed' ,or similar.

(Definitely not talking about Syntax /s he’s got like this half gas mask he always wears and I’ve never seen him without it and he developed around like late 2018 or 2019 if I remember what he told me correctly)

"I love how genuinely tame and welcoming this place is compared to other syscords, probably because of the age limit. It's really nice to know I'm not gonna "age out" anytime soon, and that we're all just chill adults that have been dealing with our disorder in an accepting environment. There's no pressure to conform to any sort of system standard. We're all little weirdos here and I don't feel like I'm gonna be interrogated on anything I experience." - a member of Nature's Nook 🍃
