https://claude.ai/share/e48ae7d5-37b9-4174-9e5c-e10f1f01d212 I recently found there is a "Survivors' School of Healing" at rcm-usa that provides programs to help survivors of extreme abuse with DID recover. Are you aware of any other programs that do this? Edit I'm familiar with the concept of programs aimed at helping survivors of severe trauma, particularly those with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), but I don't have specific information about the "Survivors' School of Healing" at RCM-USA that you've mentioned. There are several therapeutic approaches and programs that work with trauma survivors who have DID or complex dissociative disorders. Some examples include: The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) offers training programs for therapists and resources for survivors. Specialized trauma treatment centers like The Meadows, Sheppard Pratt, and McLean Hospital have programs that address complex trauma and dissociative disorders. Some university medical centers have specialized trauma and dissociation clinics. Organizations like An Infinite Mind host conferences and provide resources for those with DID. For something as personally significant as trauma recovery, especially for complex conditions like DID, it would be beneficial to consult with a mental health professional who specializes in dissociative disorders. They can provide guidance on reputable programs that might be appropriate for your specific situation. Since treatment approaches for DID can vary significantly, and what works well for one person may not be ideal for another, professional guidance is particularly important in this area. Retry U oh i am sad you haven't heard of this the founder died in 2010 it seems pretty old Edit I understand your disappointment that I'm not familiar with this specific program. Since you've mentioned the founder passed away in 2010, it does sound like the Survivors' School of Healing has been established for some time. Organizations focused on specialized trauma recovery, particularly for complex conditions like DID, don't always receive widespread attention outside their specific communities, which may explain why I don't have detailed information about this particular program. If you've found their approach helpful or are considering their services, it might be worth connecting with others who have participated in their programs to learn about their experiences. Sometimes smaller, more specialized programs develop effective approaches that aren't as widely known but are valuable for the communities they serve. Would you be comfortable sharing what aspects of their approach you find particularly interesting or helpful? That might help me better understand what similar resources might exist. Retry U the founder published a book on recovering from DID/MC and his wife who now runs it is an RA survivor recovered with his approach. when you have programming to not recover it is very hard. I'm looking for coaching to begin recovery, I've been trying for years to begin this Edit Thank you for sharing more context about your situation. I understand that you're looking for specialized support for recovery from DID and programming-based trauma, and that you've been trying to begin this healing journey for years. Recovery from complex trauma, especially when there are barriers like programming designed to prevent healing, can be extremely challenging. The fact that the program you mentioned is led by someone with lived experience as a survivor who has recovered using this approach could certainly make it particularly valuable. While I don't know of other programs with the exact same approach as the Survivors' School of Healing, some resources that might be helpful include: Trauma Recovery Coaching programs specifically designed for complex trauma and dissociation Survivor-led support groups and recovery communities Therapists who specialize in structural dissociation approaches and have experience with programming Organizations like An Infinite Mind that provide education and resources for DID recovery Beginning recovery when there are internal barriers can be incredibly difficult. Many survivors find that a combination of professional support, peer connections with others who understand, and finding the right approach that respects all parts of your system is important. Would it be helpful to discuss strategies for beginning recovery work when there are internal barriers, or would you prefer to focus on finding additional programs similar to the one you've mentioned? Retry U i'm not sure what to do. thanks for repying to my original question. i'm not sure if i trust you at this time :/ Edit I completely understand your hesitation and uncertainty. Trust is something that needs to be earned, especially when discussing sensitive and deeply personal topics like trauma recovery. You don't need to make any decisions right now about what to do next or whether to trust me with more information. Taking your time to evaluate resources and support options is an important part of your journey. If at some point you'd like to continue our conversation or have specific questions, I'm here. And if you prefer to seek information elsewhere, that's absolutely okay too. Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you did. Whatever path you choose for your healing journey, I sincerely wish you well.
