I feel like there& #39;s this thing in DID academic research, where like, it& #39;s just assumed that DID happens because of trauma.
Like, it& #39;s just HAPPENS. Their explanation is mechanical.
"One person split into many."
"The person failed to integrate because of trauma."
Etc.

There& #39;s a massive problem with academic research on plurality. Specifically traumagenic systems. It& #39;s all framed from an inherently mechanical, cold, and negative perspective.
It& #39;s only ever a "coping mechanism/survival mechanism" that the brain just DOES. #PluralGang

What if like...traumagenic origins are actually an act of self love, in the face of parents and relatives who neglect, who abuse.
The idea that a system is a support system. Not just an "organism system" of "homeostasis" alters or some crap.

The paradigm shift is absolutely massive. It turns the idea that headmates/alters are just "vying and struggling for control" into, "well, they& #39;re just trying to help, but are sometimes very misguided."
It& #39;s a humanizing perspective. To view DID as a dysfunctional support system. Instead of as a "traumatic thing that happened when I was young, and now I& #39;m broken."
I think it& #39;s something other systems should consider. Not that you HAVE to. But just something to think about.
