Therapy: It’s All Part of “The Process”
It’s all “Part of the Process.”
I was completely unfamiliar with that phrase until therapist #1. After 6 months with her, I was thoroughly disgusted with the phrase. Perhaps because no one could define “The Process” in terms I could accept. This magical concept that I, a PhD trained engineer, was apparently completely ill-equipped to deal with.
<And friends and neighbors, let’s throw in the completely obligatory ” fck that” right about HERE.>
Emily and Cami Share What you Suspected Anyway
Lately there have been interesting changes inside that have sparked endless private journal entries. i think all of this has been on the edge of happening, in limbo. Getting a new therapist who is very good has allowed progress to resume. I’ll just offer a part of that to clarify things for you. Emily says, “Cami, I say you can tell them you have been writing most of this with me in the background.”
Flame-Quenching “Move Along” Standard Disclaimer
In light of recent events, we had a delightful time creating a Standard Disclaimer for this blog. It applies to EVERY SINGLE LITTLE WORD OR PICTURE. I publicly present it here for your information and amusement, and it also appears as it’s own page. Contents under pressure. If any defects are discovered, do not attempt to fix them yourself, but return to an authorized service center.
Nasty Comments about my “Cemented Pearls of Pain”
“This blog is creepy, beyond creepy. I feel like I just crawled out of a shit ridden toilet filled with your cemented pearls of pain.”
A recent reader offered this wonderfully constructed sentence embodying a cornucopia of foul emotions all at once. It’s actually really good stuff. Except for the fact that the toilet she crawled out of appears to be one of her own making.
<Perhaps we should give Stephen King a call -”A strangled flush in the night gave way to the wafting malodorous hint that the Blog That Shat Pearls of Pain was to “[reep] havoc … stalking a family member …”>
But I digest.
Arise oh Exhalted Alter (I mean, “Coping Mechanism”)
May we have your attention please!
Ahem. And it is so proclaimed from the top of Emily’s spooky trees to the lowest of the filthy gutter I arose from (oh wait, that’s tomorrow’s post) that a new Topic Area category shall be created. In honor of yours truly, said Topic Area shall be known as the “Goddess of Brilliance and Wonder.“
Looking for Attention, Baby Talk and Fakers in DID
HF mentioned Fakes and Baby Talk in How does “I” become “We”? I also have a hard time with this. As someone with DID, I realize that makes me a pretty big target for flames.
Hold on while I put on my flame proof suit.
Meet Emily: the harassing, attention-seeking manipulative stalker and computer-crasher
So I participated in a forum for the first time. I asked (nicely) about a strongly held belief on the owner/moderator’s website about DID (that it’s a psychosis). Didn’t make sense to me. After an escalated discussion, I was trashed by the moderator for my “harassing attention-seeking, manipulative behavior.”
Then to prove her point, she edited my posts to her liking in order to remove her inconsistent statements and my questions that she refused to answer. After she locked me out of the forum. <laughing>
Don’t worry – I will not do the same to her. I will keep her anonymous.
But, appears to be a dictatorship. Rewriting history for your own needs. Jr. High School drama, eh? Let’s take a look at how moderators can hurt their own readers, as well as their own reputations. And for this woman, perhaps even her own patients.
Dear Ms. DID: Is someone with DID psychotic, a neurotic, or just mentally unfit?
Oh, don’t get me started.
While searching on what integration must feel like, I tripped across a forum for HR (human resources) professionals. A few individuals argued with much authority that DID/MPD is a psychosis, or a neurosis, or a mental disorder, (or get this) “a ‘temporary disfavor’ of God.”
They state that this condition causes an individual “to be mentally unfit.” The information in the thread was praised as useful guidance for other HR professionals to take back to their companies. Ohhhhh was I pissed off. So let’s talk, shall we?
Those with DID steal money and drive recklessly

Sweeeet, another article online with some interesting misconceptions about DID. Okay folks, ready for this one? We are characterized by “stealing money, or driving recklessly, or abusing some other person.”
Excelllllent. Shall we have another go at it?
I’m not even bothering with the flame-proof suit. My inferno will trump your inferno, oh wee little Clueless Ones.
