I had to fire my therapist last year because she insisted she “would’ve known” if I had a dissociative disorder and I was like babes, I—I wrote an entire book about it?!?!?? You just never met the rest of me.
Especially because they don’t like me talking to therapists about it! For good reason tbh! Her denial was immensely traumatizing after years of building trust with her.
And you know what triggered me to remember that I likely have DID/OSDD? Fucking Tiktok. Was there watching all the systems and I was like—wait, wait, WAIT. This is...this is me AND I WROTE AN ENTIRE BOOK ABOUT IT complete with a persecutor/protector PLIS 
When Freshwater came out, I refused to align it with DID because people were already trying to erase the Igbo ontology and make it a metaphor for Western diagnoses.
Ada’s root trauma is that she’s a nonhuman entity trapped by embodiment. The violence that comes with embodiment eventually shows up in the ways it does for flesh—dissociating into multiple selves, depression/suicidality, etc. #Freshwater
I wrote about it spiritfirst, just like with #DearSenthuran, and the selves move spiritfirst because that’s our center. Which is damn near impossible to talk to any therapist about, even spiritual ones. But at least we have the books and in there, our realities are safe 
Preorder #DearSenthuran for more spiritfirst work on the self, request it from your local libraries, and I can’t wait till we can talk more about it in June!
