He suggested to make an intervention with another psychologist, a collega from him. So he would continue supporting me in the psych social issues: children, goverment, schools, etc and this other woman would start working with me with my DID issues.</div><div /></li><li >I am afraid that these interventions will let loose a side of me that i try to repress.and then what happens when i come home (i have three teens).......</li><li ><div>he says that the idea of this intervention is to contain!!! words! how can you contain memories, if you open a door, there will be a diarrea of memories...and i wonder if i can go through this.but it is an opportunity to be helped. any experiences over what to expect?</div><div> </div><div>Annotations: http://bit.ly/18yX7qq</div><div>Photos: http://bit.ly/189dn5b</div><div>

I recall hearing about it in reading the blog of another multiple. I believe I also heard my doctor use the term favorably. Ok, this makes things clearer ... it is an excerpt from treatment planning. </p><p class="comment-text ng-isolate-scope ng-scope" lst-truncated-text="" lst-limit="200" lst-text="comment.body" >Encouraging healthy coping behaviors </p><p class="comment-text ng-isolate-scope ng-scope" lst-truncated-text="" lst-limit="200" lst-text="comment.body" >The primary focus is to help patients learn to control and contain their symptoms. Patients must learn to deal with dissociation, flashbacks, and intense affects such as rage, terror, and despair. Embarking on a treatment plan can be dangerous if the patient has not developed ways to tolerate the emotional turmoil that arises when uncovering traumatic memories. Until the patient can learn healthy alternatives to tolerate feelings and control behaviors, he or she cannot adequately or safely undertake the exploratory work involved in uncovering and processing memories of abuse. Control is a major issue for survivors of abuse, and by learning new ways to control and contain their symptoms, patients no longer view themselves as victims of the past. The emphasis is to have patients reconnect with their sense of power. Encouraging patients to design and choose which technique to use and when to use it contributes to their sense of being in charge of themselves; patients can begin to deal correctly with feelings of helplessness. </p><p class="comment-text ng-isolate-scope ng-scope" lst-truncated-text="" lst-limit="200" lst-text="comment.body" >Resource: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/916186-treatment </p><p class="comment-text ng-isolate-scope ng-scope" lst-truncated-text="" lst-limit="200" lst-text="comment.body" >This seems to make sense now ... I believe it explains fairly what needs to happen ... I'll always side with that which encourages the multiple to trust self and safe others. It's a side note, but if we don't understand ... we'll try to look things up. The brain likes to normally figure and figure. :) It's very cool that although therapy seemed to be dropped for a while, that the therapist came back with a way to serve the clients day to day needs and the needs through his DID. I think the "containing" part will help her become stronger before she gets to involved in things that are deeply embedded in her repressions. I would expect good things to come!</p></div></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div>
