since your questions about DNMS were answered earlier, i don't see a problem. you might want to re-ask that question about it's affliation - this thread looks like it's old enough that it's not being monitored. DNMS institute and schmidt's website and an EMDR portol don't seem to seperate them. >>My problem with the protocol is that every time I tried to do the installations of the those two "parts" it was like I was being told to take one piece of Sally, Ralphie and Miss Frizz (lol) and smush them together... and to turn out the "lights" on the parts of them that weren't wanted... using the house analogy. << exactly. i would be so cross-eyed confused i wouldn't be able to drive, not to mention other side effects. it would turn the therapist into an enemey. you've helped me put a name on what therapists i interviewed called EMDR. i saw most of them listed there. it felt so unnatural, and unaccepting, i couldn't give it a second thought. i'd be better off without therapy. there was controversy with DID before, but it wasn't brought into focus until therapists were called on for unethical behaviors and thier untested 'theories' that elevated problems. that stigma persists. your level of crisises escalated due to a marketed technique without a solid base of study and contrary to what does exist. one of the first things i was asked NOT to do in therapy was to not create any more parts. i thought that was standard knowledge, for a therapist that's skilled and has a basic understanding of DID. sort of ironic - the way DID's can feel protective about thier therapists and therapy against threats of being pulled into the court system. i also see a potential of loosing emdr if it's connected too broadly with 'experimental techniques'.
thanks for mentioning those authors, i intend to look into them.
