Dissociative Identity Disorder - Amber Louise Ainsworth
Manage episode 376082991 series 2080595
CW: Mentions of drinking, drug use, suicidal thoughts, depression, trauma, and occasional swearing
Amber Louise Ainsworth is a dissociative identity disorder (DID) system from the UK. Since realizing they are a DID system at age 38, they’ve been working through their healing: processing and sharing all their collective trauma. They have written several books, including “The revelation,” which details their first year of healing.
During this interview, you’ll hear from three of the alters in my guest’s DID system: Amber (who is the system host), Mia, and Berlou. They talk about:
- What life was like before they realized they are a DID system with several alters
- How they discovered their first alter
- How their alters communicate with each other (or in many cases, how amnesia prevents them from communicating), and how they write books and poetry about their experiences
- What it feels like when alters fuse with each other and separate from each other, and how that helps them process and heal from past trauma
