A process model of emotion regulation that highlights five families of emotion regulation strategies.

so i was lookin at the DSM 5 for research n

"The full disorder may first manifest at almost any age", I DIDNT KNOW THAT? so that means that "you have to have symptoms before 9 years to have did" isnt true???? and well to support this we have the diagnostic criteria that states that nowhere so,...

but yeah just wanted to share this with someone..

also uh the DSM 5 literally says "Dissociative identity disorder is *associated* with overwhelming experiences," so its just associated, not needed.. hmmm

Thanks for sharing the info!

I actually hadn't heard that one very often. Usually what I hear is that DID can manifest at any point, but that the trauma has to be caused during childhood. It actually seems, based on research, that dissociative symptoms get worse with age.

Personally, I suspect that the denial ends up being a major contributing factor to this. If you're denying your systemhood and shutting out your headmates, especially if you're convinced they're just your imagination or hallucinations, any communication that previously existed is going to break down and result in instability.

This is one reason that I'm really supportive of minors discovering their plurality early. The sooner you realize you're plural, the easier it is to achieve or maintain health multiplicity.

Another thing you might be interested in seeing in the DSM is the differential diagnosis section for PTSD, which clearly states that DID may not be preceded by trauma:

This past term was so so busy, I had no time to post. But today was my last day of classes, and it's officially summer break!

My human sexuality professor wouldn't give us a study guide for the final, so I made one myself. It turned out being five separate pages but, it worked out well. Overall, I earned an A- in the class. I'm very happy with how it went.

The Neuroplasticity & Development Lab in the Johns Hopkins Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences invites applicants for a full-time Research Assistant position.

Our research: The Neuroplasticity & Development Lab investigates the contributions of nature and nurture to human cognition. Areas of interest include the origins of conceptual representations, the contribution of linguistic and sensory experience to knowledge and the neurocognitive basis of cultural skills (e.g., reading, programming). We use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and behavioral measures to investigate these questions. One line of research in the lab compares the minds and brains of populations with different visual experiences e.g., congenitally blind, late blind and sighted individuals. Working with people who are blind enables disentangling the contributions of sensory and linguistic experience to conceptual representations. We investigate visual cortex plasticity in blindness as a window into the mechanisms and timing of neural specialization in humans.
