I have been working with and learning from people with complex dissociative disorders, organized ritual abuse, and traumatic conditioning for over twenty years. My primary goals when working with members of this community are increasing internal communication, cooperation, compromise, and healthy functioning. I do not view Dissociative Identity Disorder as a condition from which one must be cured, but rather as a highly adaptive, creative, and logical solution to the trauma endured. I do not utilize planned integration, hypnosis/regression, seeking the Core, using codes or commands to “deprogram,”nor spiritual deliverance techniques (including “casting out” alters, treating alters as demonic/evil spirits, and locking up “dark alters”).
I offer consultation services to mental health professionals who are treating clients who have complex dissociative disorders, organized ritual abuse, and traumatic conditioning. I also offer educational appointments to non-professionals who have become integral support system members for people in this community (such as spouses and lay recovery partners).
I have helped clinicians begin to learn about DID, and I’ve helped seasoned DID therapists learn about ritual abuse, traumatic conditioning, and beyond. I’ve had therapists who want to learn information and then have time to go try it out, and I’ve had others who want to do routine case consults to help them gain confidence throughout the therapy process with their first DID or SRA/RA clients. I have helped survivors and members of their non-professional support system better understand the issues they face and the decisions they can make.
I’m pretty flexible on building a plan that fits your needs, including using electronic means of communication (email, text/chat, and video), using cost-sharing appointments where 2-3 consultees can attend at the same time, and offering my time at a very low cost since many mental health professionals beginning therapy for this population are often having to see clients pro-bono or at extremely reduced fees. I do require that consultees who live near the DFW area attend their first consultation appointment in person at my office.
