What is DID?

EMMA SUNSHAW
About this episode

Dr. E explains DID in the context of shame theory.  The name Dr. E is a reference to what she is called at work because of her PhD; she is not a medical doctor or giving any therapeutic advice.  She explains her understanding of dissociation in the context of Patricia DeYoung’s shame theory, and explains why most “acting out” is really misattunement, and how healing comes through connection (attunement) with others.  She references the “Still Face Experiment” which can be searched and found on YouTube.  Some clarification between abuse and neglect is explained, but no graphic or personal examples are given.
