Keepers

Keepers, the name my wife has given to her system of alters. Yes, she is MPD/DID, a most ingenius method of survival incorporated by the human brain. When the trauma is so great that one cannot stand it any longer a fissure breaks off within the psyche and a new personality is born, one who can handle the situation, whether it be gracefully, or almost comatose. The point is, the trauma is survived and the body as a whole is allowed to go on for another minute, hour or day.

Her multiplicity was not diagnosed until in her 30's and that led to a caravan of therapists, none of which had a clue as to how to treat it. Some unfortuneately did have an idea as to how to abuse it and use them for their own sick and perverted needs. One of which is coming up before the state board on 5 charges of unprofessional conduct.

That is a different blog. What this is about is simply what they have accomplished, because when the diagnosis was made they were in bad shape. Not sleeping, self medicating, with alcohol and meds, and their life was falling apart. Seems to be a symptom of multiplicity , that when the memories come flooding back they are overwhelming, one thing triggers another and keepers (personalities) are changing like I don't know what, it becomes a game of guess who's here now, too late, someone else is here now.

So they went thorugh that for years as well as struggling to find a therapist who 1) knew what MPD/DID was 2) was willing to work with it 3) gave a shit

Let's see, let's guess how many were found, nah, lets not. Therapists are another blog alos.

Let's get back to where Keepers were, and yet despite some crappy therapists and yes there were some who eventually admitted to being undercapable or just walked away, in some small way they did offer some help in getting through what keepers were going through.

About 3 years they walked away from their last therapist, and walked to the internet. There has been 3 incarnations of Keeperskorner
and each one has grown from the predecessor. The current version is by far the best and most wonderful. It has blossomed as have Keepers. Each version of their site has coincided with their growth as people, very well people who have grown and evolved so very much and I have had the honor and privilege to be here near them, sometimes at their side, sometimes off to the side, observing their development. At this point they have become an organized system of not only supporting each other and communicating with each other but a group who can offer to help others as they battle back from their abuse and join keepers on this journey to recovery from abuse and onward to thriving.

When we got our first computer keepers had no desire or so they thought, ability to deal with it. But as each version of Keeperskorner came about, they evolved with it to where they are now actually spearheading a ministry of recovery for those who suffer the same effects of abuse as they did and do. This is so awesome!! We are doing it together and will continue to do so. And as we move forward from here I am sure that some of the people keepers and I are communicating with will become a part of this ministry, in some way or another. We welcome anyones and everyones help in their own way in their own time.

To all of you out there who are reading the blogs and visiting Keeperskorner
we welcome you, we thank you and we appreciate you.
