And I can't be in a workspace where somebody wants to share photos of the ultrasound.

Mm-hmm.

Or talk about pregnancy.

I just completely freak.

And Gemma.

Um, Gemma is immediately triggered and that leads to Amber having to go to the beach.

And so if Amber's my work person, Amber's at the beach, she can't come and do her job because she's too busy dealing with the fact that we've been triggered around mothers and babies.

I've actually had to say to my support workers, uh, rule.

When you come in, tell me about you.

Do not tell me about you in terms of your work.

partner, your pregnancy, your children, because they all trigger me.

And then, of course, I'm terrified of half the population.

We don't have a list of therapists, but we do have a list of what you need when going to find a therapist.

If you think you have MPD-DID or you know you have MPD-DID,

You want a psychiatrist that works with trauma, that is trauma informed.

You need a therapist and it can be any therapist as long as they are

trained and so you want someone that knows something about the the treatments um through inner family systems um or through emdr you want someone who is able to look after themselves and demonstrate to you that you don't need to look after them which is really important and you need somebody who has capacity

Because some doctors know about DID, but they can only give you one appointment a month or whatever.

That's not enough.

So think about making a team of people to work with, maybe a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and maybe a doctor.
