Thanks Elros, I would agree - unless the severity of the trauma(s) is too great to allow for full healing on your own. If, for example, you have several hundred or even thousands of personalities in a person with DID, including all the physical changes in the brain and body the original traumas (incl. deliberate torture) have caused, things are not as easy as that (without saying you made it sound easy). There is just no limit to complexity in trauma effects and symptoms, and we have to be careful not to apply the same standards to someone who experienced a singular traumatic event as an adult, as to someone who was subjected to torture and abuse from the time before they were even born, with horrendous effects.
