Today is DID Awareness Day.

Today, we raise awareness for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and the many individuals living with the impacts of complex trauma and dissociation.

DID is a trauma-related condition that develops as a survival response to overwhelming, often early, experiences. Yet despite growing research and understanding, stigma and misinformation persist.

At An Infinite Mind, we are committed to:
✨ Education rooted in clinical research
✨ Survivor-centered storytelling
✨ Reducing stigma through compassionate conversations

Awareness matters — because understanding creates safety.

Education creates access.
And community creates hope.

Today and every day, we stand with survivors.

Did you know it's against the law to engage in a s*x act with someone without their consent?

This is called s*xual assault. (Online, people often call it "SA".)

Being assaulted is NEVER the victim's fault.

If it has happened to you (or you think it might have) here are some support services who can help you:

The opposite of “demonstrating ‘behaviors’” (i.e., a euphemism for ‘misbehavior’) isn’t “behaving well”.

The opposite of “demonstrating behaviors” is “internalizing distress”.

Another way to say “demonstrating behaviors” could be “externalizing distress”.

If a child is “demonstrating behaviors” and you implement a plan to get them to stop “demonstrating behaviors” that focuses entirely on changing the child, all you are doing is getting them to internalize, rather than externalize, their distress.

(P.S. This post is made to be super short and to-the-point, but if you’re reading it and feeling like, “So what do I do, then?” I’ll throw a bunch of resources in the comments. :))

Congratulations to Hayley on completing her level 2 EMDR training this afternoon. Another incredible 24 hours of learning packed into 3 days. It’s grueling work- and so it should be.
