Jade Miller: 我是多重人格,童年经历了极度虐待,直到20多岁才开始回忆起这些创伤记忆。我的经历表明,许多患有解离性障碍的人在寻求专业帮助时没有获得有效的支持,这可能是由于成本、创伤性经历以及治疗师缺乏相关知识等原因造成的。我致力于为多重人格提供支持,因为这个领域缺乏有用的知识,学术知识并不能转化为对极度创伤幸存者的有效支持。多重人格是指一个身体内存在多个独立的自我,这通常是极度和长期创伤的结果。然而,并非所有自认为有多重人格的人都认为创伤是其多重人格的原因,这在社区内部引发了很多争论。即使不是多重人格,许多人都能体会到内在小孩的概念,而对内在小孩进行“养育”对于那些没有获得健康教养的人来说至关重要。公开讲述自身经历的原因:为了帮助其他人,打破对多重人格的刻板印象,并促进对多重人格的理解和接纳。媒体对多重人格的错误描述:将多重人格与危险联系起来,夸大身份转换的戏剧性。多重人格身份转换的典型表现:能量或情绪的转变,而非戏剧性的、引人注目的变化。严重解离的经历:在一段时间内完全失去意识,对这段时间内发生的事情毫无记忆。治疗师在治疗多重人格患者时可能存在的不足:强加目标、只与“核心人格”沟通、缺乏对解离的理解等。我的康复历程:认识到内在所有部分的善意,在内部各部分之间建立联系,并处理由此产生的悲伤。对多重人格整合的重新思考:整合不应意味着消除某些人格,而应是所有人格的共同存在和合作。对多重人格患者而言,“令人着迷”之类的说法是贬低和不尊重其经历的。多重人格可能比人们认为的更普遍,尤其是在弱势群体和自闭症群体中。解离和多重人格的区别:多重人格是一种解离的极端形式,其特征是存在多个独立的、互不记忆的自我。如何支持患有多重人格的人:询问他们的需求,尊重他们的感受,并理解他们可能存在的孤独感。我的书籍《亲爱的孩子们》系列,旨在帮助内在小孩理解和处理创伤。 Andrea: 作为一名创伤治疗师,我与许多创伤幸存者进行了交流,他们的经历与Jade Miller的经历有很多相似之处,例如记忆空白、后期顿悟等。我与Jade Miller的谈话让我对多重人格有了更深入的了解,也让我意识到这种经历的普遍性以及媒体对其刻板印象的误导性。我认同Jade Miller关于整合的观点,即整合不应意味着消除某些人格,而应是所有人格的共同存在和合作。我也意识到,对多重人格患者而言,一些看似无害的评论,例如“令人着迷”,实际上是贬低和不尊重其经历的。通过与Jade Miller的谈话,我希望能够帮助更多的人理解和支持患有多重人格的人。
