[CC] Lets talk about shame by The Crisses plural events 2022-07-15 | The Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June. Get your ticket and find out more about PPWC and our other virtual events at: powertotheplurals.com/events Session for The Plural Positivity World Conference 2022 organized by The Plural Association Nonprofit. TW & info listed below.Title: Let’s Talk about Shame + Q&A Presenters: The Crisses. TW: Talking about shame is potentially triggering. Examples of childhood abuse issues at a high level: perfectionism, mistakes, binary thinking, gaslighting, blame, intergenerational abuse cycles, potential for becoming abusive, and shameholders & shame defenders in a plural system will be discussed or mentioned. Description: Shame is not talked about enough in our society — it’s barely mentioned in most mainstream treatment books, it’s shoved under a rock in our culture, and it’s not talked about openly enough in support groups. People mention shame in passing, but then are ashamed of being ashamed — so there’s little community wisdom about how to handle it or heal it. Some experts even say that DID may be a shame-based disorder. It’s certainly one of the top stumbling blocks for most traumagenic systems and unfortunately some therapists may increase a client’s shame rather than help them deal with it. Let’s talk about shame…normal shame versus toxic & carried shame, how shame presents in plural systems, signs that we’ve been shame-triggered, and how we can start dumping toxic & carried shame and experience normal or healthy shame appropriately. Speaker bio: The Crisses are an autistic, disabled, non-binary, gender-fluid, plural-identified quoigenic DID-diagnosed polyfragmented modular system with about 157+ system members of a wide variety of types. They are geeks, authors, content creators, instructors, healers, coaches, and mental health advocates. They have hEDS, CIDP, Reynaud’s syndrome, several other related issues, and are transition opportunists. They live in upstate New York in the USA, and moonlight as a pet sitter.The Plural Association is a grassroots, volunteer and peer-led nonprofit that depends fully on community and ally support.

Doing things while not in front possession maintaining coconsciousness and the typing trick by Et Al plural events 2026-06-14 | This session presents some proven advice for maintaining activity and presence in co-consciousness, as well as teaching two techniques from the tulpamancy community that a headmate not in front can use to interact with the outside world. "Possession" allows a non-fronting headmate to borrow control of all or part of the body for a while without properly switching in, while "the typing trick" is a technique related to autowriting by which a headmate not in front can type without direct control of the hands, which is also occasionally useful for reaching headmates that are not otherwise accessible. These techniques are most likely to be useful for systems that already have some established co-consciousness and internal communication, but are otherwise potentially applicable to systems of all sorts.The illustrious Et al., coauthors of 10,000 papers!More seriously, Et al. system are a small, originally parogenic (tulpamancy) system who have spent the last thirteen years trying to better understand their own plural experiences and those of others, and using what they learn to better understand the brain and to give back to their community where they can. They have been special interesting *hard* on this set of topics for over a decade, though their actual formal academic background is in computer science and machine learning. They have also been activists and community organizers for a variety of causes most of their adult lives.The Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

How to adapt somatic modalities for working with dissociation by The Loucas plural events 2026-06-14 | For many of us the body can feel like a dangerous place. It's the cause of so much pain and hurt. Some might even say, it's where it all began. And that it's the last thing they want to connect with. For many it does not feel safe to meet the body.But our body is also what we've all got in common. It's our System's meeting place, so to say. We all have to share the same body, even if we don't agree on many things, if we look totally different, if we are from different species.In this session we'll explore how somatic therapies can be adapted and integrated into our therapy sessions or into our life. We will start with our own journey of discovering that we are a system and how somatic therapies have challenged us, a lot, and at the same time made our progress possible.We follow our own journey with some examples how we adjust modalities with our clients, and offer some explorations to experience some somatic practices. We are ending the talk with the opportunity to experience some somatic practice if that feels safe enough on the day.Hi, we are The Loucas, or some might know us as Johannah & Co from Natural Holistics and BodyWise – Many Selves, One Body. We are a polyfragmented system, Wounded Healer, a peer support advocate and educator about living with dissociation, dissociative identities and organised extreme abuse for other survivors as well as professionals.We are also a Somatic Trauma Therapist, Brainspotting practitioner, RMTi consultant, Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master.All the modalities we use as a Somatic Therapist have helped us on our own healing journey. Through our own lived experiences as well as the professional continuing trainings we have adapted how we offer support and therapy for extreme trauma and dissociation. It’s a blend of what has worked for us as well as the wisdom from our teachers and supervisors.The Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

Navigating the Attention Age: Social Media, Shame and C-PTSD by The Crisses plural events 2026-06-14 | Attention is a basic human need, and it’s being coopted: weaponized, monetized, bought & sold, with a backdrop of shame around “just doing it for attention” (whatever “it” is, in context). This session will give an introduction to The Attention Age, some reasons why attention is currently such a hot commodity, and how this entangles with C-PTSD, DID, shame, relational trauma, neurodivergence, and the industry gatekeepers for DID research. Social media fleeting attention traps are set for humanity as a whole. How can we navigate this landscape safely and get more hearty and lasting attention — especially given our community’s additional needs & vulnerabilities? We’ll ask those questions and give some ideas for how to work on them individually and together as a community.The Crisses rediscovered their plurality in 1986 and are still onboarding and welcoming headmates today. They share their experience and selves-help information openly as an otherkin-identified DID-diagnosed polyfragmented gateway system through kinhost.org and other outlets. They are geeks, authors, content creators, instructors, healers, life coaches, and mental health advocates. They live in the ancestral homeland of the Lenee Lanape now known as upstate New York.https://bsky.app/profile/thecrisses.bsky.socialThe Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

House of Artists: Finding Inner Connection Through Our Art by ABSTRACT.HOUSE plural events 2026-06-14 | Our presentation goes in depth of how artistic mediums can be used to connect with your system. We go into noticing our ever-shifting art styles and ideas throughout our artistic journey, and how it played a huge role in accepting our plurality.

Am I Making This Up The Revolutionary Power of Selves-Acceptance in Healing and Liberation by Birdie plural events 2026-06-14 | In an upside-down world that gaslights many of our realities, how do we trust our own sense of what’s real, right, and useful? We will share stories, have some laughs, deconstruct ‘denial,’ and explore the role of starting-where-you-are, intuitive knowing, and even *not* knowing, in inner & outer liberation. This personal talk by newly-aware-‘traumagenic DID system’/plural and longtime self/peer-healer Iridescent Birdie is for folks at any ‘stage’ of identity or personal growth. It will end with an epic poem on the conference theme: We are the Revolution!Having survived recurring trauma since birth, Iridescent Birdie is a true original, on an ongoing quest for personal and collective healing. A professional social justice organizer for decades, she/they now teach energy medicine, perform poems at events, and are writing a book called Stuffed Animal Alchemy. Birdie hadn’t heard of dissociation or plurality until last year! She is a newly-aware system-in-progress who knows we don’t have to be ‘further along’ to help one/many-another.The Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

Your Therapist Is Not Your Savior You Are How to Place Trust Back In Your Own Hand by Megan Griffith plural events 2026-06-14 | I love therapy, and in many ways, I owe my life to the world of psychology. And at the same time, it has completely screwed up my relationship to my own agency.For a decade, I learned, through therapy primarily, that I couldn't trust my own emotions, thoughts, or decisions. That I had to build my life around what a therapist or doctor said was most reasonable and safe. If you've been in mental health treatment, you've probably gotten the same kind of advice that basically boils down to: "It doesn't matter what you do, you'll always be mentally ill, so just do what we say. Don't make any of your own decisions, you cannot be trusted."And as plural people, this can feel particularly true. We know there are multiple of us, all with different opinions and desires and needs, and that can make us feel inherently unstable.But what if we're not? What if those multiple perspectives aren't strings all being pulled in opposite directions, but rather, crossbeams supporting the structure of our life?What if we know ourselves best?In this presentation, I'll break down common, but very unhelpful, therapy dynamics that can rob you of your agency, and how you can learn to trust yourself again.Megan Griffith (she/they) is a shame oracle and psychospiritual healer who uses a mixture of psychology and witchcraft to help people acknowledge and heal their shame so that it no longer controls them. She is autistic & ADHD, and has depression and OSDD. Their system is primarily organized by color, and while Cornflower Blue and Mint Green are the most common fronters, she is learning to love and embrace the whole rainbow of who she is.IG: instagram.com/themegangriffith Substack: substack.com/@themegangriffithThe Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

Plurality in Media: Why Our Voices Matter by Avoticat plural events 2026-06-13 | Storytelling is an important aspect of human interactions, it informs how we relate to each other and to ourselves. For far too long, multiplicity has been disrespectfully and inaccurately portrayed in media, with only a few respectful representations that are few and far between. But people are working to change that, there is a media movement of Own Voices that is rising up to tell the world that This Is Our Story. It takes immense courage and strength to share something so vulnerable, but we need to use our voices to turn the tides. How will you tell your story?I have studied at university and completed a Bachelor of Animal Science, Graduate Diploma of Arts, and currently studying a Masters in Teaching (Secondary), I have spent much of my life studying and thinking a great deal about many things. We discovered our multiplicity around 2014-2015. At the time, media was a significant part of our lives (reading, watching tv and movies, etc), and yet no representation of multiplicity ever felt representative of our experiences. In fact, seeing media representations made us deny plurality for longer because we didn't fit what we had seen. Since then, I've often thought about how poor multiplicity (more specifically, DID) representation is, and how often unintentional/non-explicit representation feels more accurate, so I recently started a podcast discussing this. But I have never found anything more accurate and powerful than reading and watching stories from multiples and their own lived experiences, and these stories have been my guiding light in my own healing journey.Avoticat on @avoticat YouTube, medidapodcast on Instagram, Me.DIDa on Facebook.The Plural Positivity World Conference happens every year online in May or June.

She has served as Inlandia Literary Laureate and has facilitated numerous workshops, readings, and community programs aimed at fostering creative expression and social engagement.Her current research and writing also engage with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), particularly within the experiences of Black women. Drawing from personal experience and interdisciplinary scholarship, she explores how identity, trauma, and cultural narratives shape the understanding of DID. Nikia continues to write, teach, and advocate, believing in the power of storytelling as a means of healing, resistance, and radical self-acceptance.How do Black identity, spirituality, and mental health intersect in shaping our understanding of the self? This session explores the complexities of Black identity through the lens of multiplicity, including experiences of dissociation, trauma, resilience, and ancestral wisdom. We will examine how Black cultural traditions—both spiritual and communal—offer alternative ways of understanding identity beyond Western psychological frameworks. Through storytelling, discussion, and reflection, we will consider how fragmentation and wholeness coexist in Black lived experiences, challenging dominant narratives and embracing the fullness of Black being. This session welcomes anyone interested in exploring the intersections of Blackness, mental health, and spirituality.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.

I am trained as an artist, journalist and scholar. I work as a researcher and change maker in the fields of disability, madness and culture. Currently I am doing a PhD research with artists with plural identities. In this research we explore our ability to identify beyond binary identity markers with what is supposed to be alien or other to our bodies. This ability to identify with otherness is an expertise, which could be valuable in a polarised society.About session:We are living in a world where being singlet is the norm and being plural is seen as a psychiatric disorder. When we try to think and speak about plurality from a more cultural or identity based perspective we face several obstacles, In society, in science and also in our current understanding of plurality. In this session a few concepts will be introduced that might be helpful to overcome these obstacles: paradigm, models of disability/plurality, epistemic injustice, hermeneutic resources and crip. These concepts may help us to understand more clearly what our community can do to come to an experience based understanding and representation of plurality. Research on Meet the Alters vlogs om YouTube will be used as an example how these concepts create a counter-narrative to existing research on plural vlogs on video-based platforms. The session will be in plain language for all who are interested in representation of plurality in media and how we can create a viable counter-narrative to existing understandings of plurality.Topic of the sessionplural culture, epistemic injustice, hermeneutic resources, Meet the Alters vlogs, disability studies, mad studies, crip theoryDislcaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.

Our body is a mixed black, white, and Native US citizen, disabled, bisexual, trans female to male, and just trying to get by. We faced a childhood of horrors and undiagnosed and untreated medical problems, got diagnosed with DID in college, dropped out due to increasingly bad ME/CFS and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, then in a few years managed to get on SSI, and a best friend from school became our caregiver. We've been aware of our plurality as a concept since age six or seven, and want to use our knowledge of teamwork as well as self-reflection, and the mix of both spiritual and trauma-based beliefs and selves in our system, to try and help others. Especially through our talent for writing, and many intersectional perspectives, bodily speaking. The best thing to remember, at least to us, is that you don't know how others feel, so you may as well talk about it, instead of argue. And this goes for our other selves, too.Plurality and the plural experience not being a monolith, over there years there's been debate within the community on whether or not spirituality within plural spaces has a place, or if it just gives outsiders ammo to shun us further from everyday life, and call us the "c" word. Well, Team Renewal is here to argue that spirituality in plural spaces is both a good thing, and maybe even a necessary thing-- maybe even something that can bring us closer to civil rights, wherever we hail from. I'll drive parallels between the pro-plural movement and the American civil rights movement, and try to show why I believe so strongly (no pun intended) that our faith shows we are just as normal and sound-of-mind as everyone who says we're not.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.

What steps could we devise to create a sandbox for ourselves that enables us to reach within - beyond labels, beyond our very sense of selves, into the nothingness of being that is driven by a curiosity to discover?How do we re-frame ourselves from a collectivist lens, to approach both our intangible inner societies, and the tangible external cultures and communities we inhabit?How we restructure our sense of experience from the perspective of monist plurality where we look at ourselves as an inseparable wholeness with enough space for all parts to remain interconnected and independent, like the theory of quantum cosmology defines the make of our universe? These are some heavy questions to read, listen, repeat, and process. These might give us an understanding of how to approach ourselves, without institutional frameworks, either scientific or spiritual or both, and understand ourselves purely through our own lived experience in relation to everyone else's.This session is meant for plurals and singlets alike who are looking to make sense of their own inner state of being, and draws from our system's journeys within our inner space, and from our understanding of existence from a culturally nomadic lens.The session will be broken down into eight parts with each of our system member's perspective added, taking the participants through this discovery of selves and guide people into thinking in a way that is unique to each person(s).

The intersections I'm& at also inform the way I& look at plurality, being a disabled, chronically ill, trans (specifically xenine), queer advocate, and an artist, I've& had a lot of exposure to how these things intersect with plurality. Many pluralities end up feeling like they don't count, or don't fit in, because they don't have or do certain things that they've been told were required parts of the plural experience. I& also do focus a lot on the experience of having severe chronic illness and how that can impact the way your plurality functions when you have extensive and delicate body management needs.About Session: A discussion of my& experiences with social relationships as a system and as a Terminal; joy and fulfilment in the face of chronic illness; loving and being loved through the challenges of life in an ableist world.

We were diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder late in life (at 54 - now 62), although our system began 'wobbling' considerably for several years prior to being diagnosed. We have been married for 39 years. We were 'forced' into therapy by our partner under threat of "If you don't get some answers/help, I have to consider leaving the marriage" - something like that - forgive the use of the word 'forced' because of its other connotations/uses.We found a counsellor and started sessions in which he introduced us/me to IFS. After a few months with him, he stopped working with us under that model and suggested we find someone with more experience treating DID (which we had never heard of). After a difficult search, we found ourselves in the care of Psychologist, Dr. Rick Bradshaw - very fortunate but expensive. Although the Canadian Health Care system is known for 'free health care', our governments do not cover Dissociative Disorders - At $170/hr. (slightly more now). We do receive money as a PWD (Person With Disability) - most of which goes to therapy. Under Dr. Bradshaw's care and because of our ability to learn - our curiosity and determination, we have made great progress, especially in the last four years. Finding Dr. Bradshaw has been life saving. We have achieved a great deal of cooperation, healing, and co-consciousness as a result of his treatment and the strategies that we have discovered and developed for home use between sessions.About Session: Our session is directed toward leaders in a system with the goal of helping you feel more confident, progress between sessions, and reduce recovery time.Dislcaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.

While some of us have been actively doing plural activism on different levels, other are working on a scientific study aiming at systems. Then we also do a plural podcast.About Session: Can you proof it?Plural science is often an daunting to approach for systems. It is full of outright denial of plural existence, be it healthy or disordered. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount and ideas surrounding it. And yet, it can be full of helpful resources and studying the science corpus enables systems to engage in discussions on equal footing.My talks is aimed towards systems who are interested into learning more about plural science, but feel intimidated by it. I will give a quick overview how to read scientific texts, what are typical quality markers in a text, how the current landscape of plural research looks like, what are important names in the field and I will show some papers as example.In the end, the audience should feel inspired and empowered to go onto their own journey learning more about the science of plurality.

About Session: This webinar will follow the life of a person from the time of arrest to the time of release, detailing the processes that occur while progressing through the penal/court system. Throughout this movement, there are several opportunities for a clinician to provide services to the detained person which varies depending upon the bias of the agency employing the clinician. Included will be an essay written by me which highlights the use of self/ selves during the interview process and the need to identify, and manage transference and counter transference with detained people who have in some way been accused of or committed acts that resemble my personal experience.Dislcaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.

As an approach to psychotherapy, IFS is quickly growing in popularity worldwide. It teaches that human psychology is naturally multiple, and that healing happens when we know and love every part of who we are. Yet despite the clear affinity between IFS and Plurality, the model is still largely taught and practiced without considering the real diversity of Plural experience. As a Plural IFS practitioner, I want to change that for everymany!Dislcaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this session are those of the presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Plural Association.
