Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

I have come to learn that it is not only RA that programs you.When you are abused you are forced in to a deep hypnotic state(dissociation).In this deep hypnotic state your brain is completely vulnerable to suggestion so any thing an abuser says to you can program you.Your alters can be made to believe that they consented to this abuse or that they participated in it when all they truly did was lay there completely dissociated.False memories of abuse can be implanted this way also.Think of it this way have you ever seen a hypnotist hypnotize some one to hallucinate that they see snakes and they completely freak out over it?That is this hypnotist forcing this person to hallucinate and believe things that aren't there and aren't real. Hypnosis is just another term to describe dissociation and altered state of consciousness and you can be hypnotized one of two ways by either relaxing and entering that altered state naturally(this is what usually happens in therapy) or being forced to enter that state via trauma.Stage hypnotist use the trauma of bringing someone up in front of a crowd of people(a major fear for most) to force them in to dissociation so they can implant these suggestions.When I realized this fact and how this works this is when the true memories of my abuse came to light.With me and my alters laying there dead to the world as these abusers had their way with our motionless body.
This makes perfect sense given the misconceptions of incest survivors about themselves. But I don't remember what was said to me during my abuse... I don't recall it ever being violent, although threatening. There were things along the lines of "you want it" said to me during later years and rapes but as a young one (when DID supposedly starts), my abuser was benevolent and only quietly threatening (ie, I knew if I said "no" I'd get in trouble somehow, just didn't know how).
**end trigger**
You'd think, given all this, that hypnosis in therapy would be the end-all that fixes things....
