The ETERNAL CHILD? Can ALTERS Age?! | Debunking DID Ep 11 | Dissociative Identity Disorder RE-UPLOAD 

I just wanted to say, you guys are what inspired me to go into mental health, or rather the brain. I’ve decided I want to make that my career. I'm going to get my PsyD in psychology and become a neuropsychologist. Neuropsychologists study the relationship between the brain and the nervous system. So Id be studying neurological disorders which are entirely different from mental disorders. Thank you for the light and inspiration you guys are providing to the world

i realise this video was posted over a year ago. i was originally a little alter, but was forced to age due to having regular, triggering contact with my abuser again. i miss the younger version of me. but thank you for this video

It is truly a blessing for the DID community to have your content back on RU-vid. You all are so appreiceted and have been deeply missed. Such an empowering story we are able to unfold at the start of this year. We see you. We hear you. We are so proud of you for reclaiming what has been yours all along. I am in infinite awe of you Kya and company

I respect the struggles you’ve been through and even though I don’t know u I’m proud of u 💜

I have sexual alters I now realize. Wow. This is such an important video for my healing path. Thank you SO MUCH for your dedication to this cause ❤️ As you talk more and more is making my head spin in the best way! Non human altars! 🤩 my “smoke” is a persecuter alrer 🤯

One of our littles split from a stressful experience that occurred when another member was regressed, despite the body being older (I think we were 14 at the time?).

I am just playing it in the bacground, because I watched those videos before, and I want my views to matter, even if only a little bit. Comment mainly for algorithm. But also sending much love and support to Your system! Take care of yourself :)

My main little who was stuck at 4 for at least 15 years, randomly started to age slide up, but it got stunted until he made the choice thereon to grow up. He's now able to choose when he fronts whether he wants to front in his little space self like he used to or a grown up version of himself hes still learning to sit in and figure out how he is in it. Definitely like to see more research of this!

One of the family members (as you call alts) that I have ranges in age from 9 to 17. It depends what she feels like doing and who she's hanging out with. None of the alts that I am aware of are stuck in any time frame nor do any of them mistake what time they live in. They are not little tape recorders that have held and repeatedly play memories.

There’s also a little which is referred to age regression too! Someone who age regresses could be considered a little.

You help me understand myself so much! I have always tried to put this into words, even for myself, it is so reassuring listening to you speak so clearly and thoroughly about something I’ve struggled to articulate for so long. I have a Little, but inaccurately associated her with DD/lg. but, it didn’t quite make sense to me because she doesn’t necessarily come out for “sexual” reasons. She isn’t “age playing” and she is insulted by that association. She feels like being Little is the natural state and “adulting” is the part of my life where I am role playing. I have struggled trying to find a DD/lg partner who understands that my Little Is always around and it’s not related to sex, it’s about feeling safe to be “me” free of judgment, and happily guided by my caretaker. Now I know my Little is an alter! Not a fetish! 🤯

I’m so glad I found these guys. I’m very interested in figuring out all of our wonders and relatable moments not feeling alone anymore. We suffer with DID as well and I’ve always wondered, and had questions about my experiences. So I thank you all for helping and most definitely clarifying the disorder.

Seeing you get all you videos back makes me so happy!

Keep up these reuploads, I’ve been enjoying rewatching them all!

It kind of sounds to me like each alter needs a different amount of experience points to "level up", like in a video game or tabletop game. :) Another very great and interesting video, it's lovely to see it back again. Wonderful work!

I'm so glad you're re-uploading these videos. Sending much love. 🖤🖤🤍🤍🖤🖤

Your videos are always so well spoken and you present the facts and research really clearly, so easy to understand!

Good to see you. this past year has been bad for me, some personal stuff of betrayals in my life that triggered me, and my doctor died. i'm on my own totally with my healing and have had a great deal of success for personal communication and healing with the IFS system. most recently there are some new /or not known before - very very young ones that are non-verbal and its hard for me to work out how to talk to them. I do like all that you said here about the age sliding potentials ,, i find that quite alot- and many will age a bit when healing and unburdening is done- but i have to say that none are my 'body age on this planet' age - nor do i feel that way either. Personally i don't believe in a core self - and the doctors that do my system of healing have just caught up to that -We could get into a science talk about time here. All the best to you.

sending much love and enjoying re-watching your videos again. they are so informative xx

I've been rewatching all of the videos, you guys are awesome

Always so beautifully educational! Thank you!

Still love seeing the notifications pop up showing you posted again. I've missed it.

Lots of love and welcome back ❤️

So happy to see these videos again 🥰

different reactions to medications?!! what does that mean? like allergic reactions for some but not others? Or is it more like some would like cannabis and some won't?

Hi can you do a video on how you sort out your schedules when you have big problems or tasks to do! my friend has trouble with sorting organizing out large tasks like a job application or preparing for a long cross and/or out of country trip. I want to know how i can help and understand or even gain insight on if i have DID or not, as i am questioning. Thank you!

Welcome back DissociaDID ❣

My spouse has DID. She passed away almost 2 years ago. At first i thought she was Bu-Polar because she told me she was. Later on it came out that it was DID. It is a shame what she went through to develop DID. But once I educated myself about DID, our relationship and bond solidified. Now if someone has DID i can tell very fast even if they hide it. My thoughts on DID is that it is the most amazing disorder (I prefer gift) that a human can ever have. This is from someone Who does not have DID but thats my opinion. My plan is not to date anymore but if i were to date. I would not even consider someone who didn’t have DID. Thats how rad i think it is. If you have this disorder just know there is at least 1 human on this planet that thinks you are amazing. And if you happen to be Christian, remember God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one God head. So your gift (i don’t think its a disorder) is truly divine in nature. Take Care.

I think one of my biggest fears is my child developing DID. Because that would mean I failed to protect them. That would be awful

You are very well spoken

Super useful video, really resonates with me, thank you

I’m so glad you’re re-uploading your videos. They’re wonderful ❤️

I am stuck at some point in middle school (Junior high - age 10 through 13). I have an intense fear of adulthood and intuitively know I am NOT an adult despite being the host of a body that is 31 years old

I’m just a little bit confused here. I always thought that the child alters that are EP could not usually age unless they integrated with someone that is an ANP. But that child alters that are ANP are the ones who could age up. But you never mentioned that child alters could be ether EP or ANP when ageing. So who knows maybe I’m just mistaking here.

Is it normal to have your alters as family? Like how I have one as my mom and one as my brother and one as my sister? I think ghost is my adoptive brother due to trauma reasons but I don’t know. The same for Bunni and mom.

It’s really nice to see all of these videos back. You all worked so hard on them, and they’re so educational and important. And they’re excellent resources for learning about a subject that most people know only a little about

hi you're great

💙

I don't know. I feel it sucks for the person who experiences the trauma(s) but it sucks for the unintentionally? created alters even more when they realise that they have been created or become of existence (only) because of the trauma and now they have the responsibility to hold and relive that trauma for the person who was initially born into the body/ the primary host?, because he/she couldn't deal with. Like how does that work? Imagine being trapped in that trauma forever and not existing otherwise. I never thought there was existence without being born. I mean I can't get my head around it. I think the host could feel lucky that her/his alters helping him/her holding the trauma and keeping it from her/him like giving a chance to live peacefully in the body. I wouldn't want to live like a trauma holder alter not even as any alter. I understand that they have a purpose and they can front etc but imagine that those personalities have never had their own family, parents etc. I feel bad for them, sorry for being honest and I don't want to offend anyone or any system because alters are a huge help, obviously, but it's just not fair. And I understand that life is not fair for a lot regardless of having DID or not, but still I just can't imagine not being born and still being drawn into existence for someone and/or because of someone. It doesn't only affect a couple of personalities but hundreds, thousands and millions or more just wow. Imagine asking someone when/where were you born and that person replying, 'I was created because of a trauma I don't even look like this body'. I would freak out I guess? Isn't this crazy? I wouldn't want to be that person saying that, that's crazy, I feel bad for them, sorry! Why does a body need more than a couple of alters even if the host or some alters never even meet at all in that existence? Sorry for these basic questions, it is just a lot to think about, imagine "running" the system effectively. It is a lot of hard work! I couldn't imagine running 20+ ppl only in my head, no privacy, being randomly? dragged out of "outside" reality. It can be a 'battle' sometimes top on dealing with the original trauma, how can this be a cooping mechanism? Didn't Nin or Chole or Kaya mention that Nina attempted the suicide during uni? So, Kyle or the other protectors couldn't help her in time? And why did the primary alter Kyle integrate with Nin, shouldn't the primary helper/protector be the first and last who exists as an alter? I mean he was the one who was running the show inside, who knew everyone, how can the body/host be protected from other alters if needs be now? I mean I assume Jade is more than capable, but still this doesn't make too much sense to me regardless. Sorry this is just too new a world for me, which I would like to understand. Thank you!

When you look in the mirror during an episode, do you see a child or adult? How long can a alter present itself

🥰🥰🥰

great video!

How do you understand your ( system) or your experience as a whole course of life?

we need a name for this. Alter charaxters vs actual alter experience. I'm sure you can project older alter. But its life experience that grows and mature. So an older part thats actually experienced life. vs a part that was saud to be older. The mind is poweful. so it can create. But its only through a series if years experience that you can become actual adult. What you said about using the bodies brain etc makes sebse. but that same brain / overall year experience wasn't there at say 10. I remember projecting charactets or creating worlds woth my trauma also have some form Of DID Im not trying to discredit anybody but we do have to look at reality. for instance a part that thinks they arevan animal, is projected.. either by them or abuser, but there is a seperation in counciousness. I know there is through petsinal experience. notice how boy alter are often protectors in a female..DID system. Again im not trying to offend anyone but there are some things that we have to look at. in order to get to that part or those parts. I know some people have thosands of parts and thats just how they function. But for reality sake, i have to say an adult part created with out adult experience.. isn't an adult. and what you said previously makes so much sense, so thank you for that. Can you get teenage alter, at actual time frame of being in teenage years? after splitting as a child?
