Revelation

I was at Bridges (DID support group) the other day and one of the ladies that was attending the group mentioned an organization called "Adult survivors of Child Abuse". A few days ago I got on the internet to look them up. I found some great information about the services they offer. On of the things they run is meetings, run by facilitators who have been through Child abuse themselves, where survivors can get together and support each other through the journey of healing. Their motto is "From Survivor to Thriver".

I suddenly occurred to me that I had really not been putting much time into the cause of my problem but instead spending most of my time in dealing with a rather strong and overwhelming symptom. My DID.
I realized that perhaps I had it the wrong way around. Yes I do need to spend time learning more about my disorder and how to function with it, but I also need to deal with the cause. Years of abuse had got me this way and had obviously affected my life, maybe I should put some more time into working on the abuse recovery.
It was quite a revelation for me as I guess DID had taken so much of my attention because it is affecting my day to day life and is so hard to forget. Where as the trauma is something I would much rather forget and avoid.
For now a new area of my journey begins. Don't think this is going to be an easy one but eventually rewarding.
