Dissociative Identity Disorder

Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. Many individuals with DID experience a sense of disconnection from themselves, their memories, and their surroundings. These experiences aren’t imagined or exaggerated. Instead, they are very real responses to overwhelming trauma, often rooted in early life.

At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we understand how difficult it can be to trust others, seek help, and begin the healing process. Our team commits to offering compassionate, individualized care for those living with DID, helping clients rebuild safety, confidence, and wholeness in their lives.

Signs and Symptoms of DID

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is often misunderstood, and its symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Many individuals may not recognize the signs in themselves. Furthermore, DID is frequently misdiagnosed, which delays access to the right support. While DID is considered rare, it affects approximately 1.5% of the global population, so specialized care is essential for recovery.

Identity Disturbances: Feeling like there are multiple distinct identities or personalities (“alters”) that each have their own behaviors, memories, and emotions.
Memory Gaps: Experiencing lost time or forgetting important personal information, events, or skills without explanation.
Sudden Shifts in Mood or Behavior: Changes in attitudes, preferences, or abilities that seem abrupt.
Depersonalization: Feeling disconnected from one’s body or thoughts, as if observing oneself.
Derealization: Feeling like the world around them isn’t real or is dreamlike.
Difficulty Trusting Others: A deep fear of being hurt or betrayed, often linked to early trauma.
Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts are common issues.
Physical Symptoms: Headaches, unexplained pain, or changes in vision or hearing, which may be associated with dissociative episodes.

It’s important to remember that DID is a survival strategy. This condition reflects the mind’s incredible ability to adapt to overwhelming stress, not a weakness or a failure.

At FACTS, we create a safe, structured environment where healing from dissociative identity disorder becomes possible. We recognize that treatment must move at the pace of trust and safety. Therefore, our DID treatment includes:

Individual Therapy: Building a strong therapeutic relationship to explore trauma, improve communication among alters, and work toward integration or harmony.
Trauma-Focused Therapies: We offer evidence-based therapies, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), to gently process traumatic memories and reduce distress.
Holistic Therapies: Art therapy, mindfulness, yoga, and other experiential practices that support emotional regulation, body awareness, and self-expression.
Family Education and Support: Helping loved ones understand DID and how they can play a supportive role in healing.

Treatment at Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions always respects the needs and experiences of every part of the self to teach you how to live with DID and have a fulfilling life.
