Trauma and Dissociative Identity Disorder:  A picture from both sides of the lens.

A trauma survivor filters life through the internal lens of trauma. Those on the external side of the lens, only see the filtered picture that the internal lens presents.

Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop as the result of severe trauma, usually during childhood.

Whether or not DID develops as a result of trauma, the effects of trauma are challenging for both the trauma survivor and for those close to them.  Each are greatly affected but have very different vantage points. 

The content on this channel, addresses trauma and DID from a personal perspective, from both an inside and outside vantage point.
