The marketplace is saturated with helpful tips to avoid stress. The
many articles, books and reports available offering us tools to cope
with stress and minimize stressors. The problem is the general subjects
speak only for the so-called normal society, mentally ill in certain
ranges and medically ill. What about the patients diagnosed with
MPD-Multiple Personality Disorders?
No one has touched this subject to date that I am aware of and since I
know the diagnose is factual I am going to write this article
specifically for the special people in life with Multiple Personality
Disorder. This disorder requires special techniques since stressors and
stress can cause the person to alter. When the person alters, amnesia
takes control and another personality takes the spot. As you can see
this person will have extreme difficulty, following a specific set of
stress management techniques, since amnesia is the main symptom and all
the personalities have a different life, including behaviors, thoughts,
friends and so forth. The mind of alters are often brilliant
individuals that have been hurt beyond the capacity that one human
being could take.
These people had to create a tool or mechanism to help them survive.
Therefore, we can toss out the breathing techniques, since most of the
personalities will consider themselves as extraordinary and beyond
human. This means they do not always recognize that they are human
beings, since all of these types were dehumanized beyond reality. It is
next to impossible to set up a stress management scheme that will work
for this diagnose, since we are dealing with more than one person in
one body.
The person probably already has a degree of exercise set up in their
life, since some of the alters like to dance, while others may lift
weights. We need to establish techniques that can keep the individual
on a routine diet that provides healthful nutrition. Since diet plays a
large role in our medical and mental state, then dieting plans can
benefit this person immensely. This specific diagnose often endures
timeframes where anorexia and bulimia take control of the person on the
spot. We also need stress management techniques that helps the person
avoid triggers that forces amnesia and this causes altering to take
place.
Multiple Personality Disorder patients often have special gifts
including sharing pain, sixth senses, and other abilities beyond normal
that creates a measurable amount of stress. It is important that people
with this diagnose set up a routine sleeping habit, since most are
unaware of what they do or say when altering takes place. It is
important that each personality hear the stress management techniques
to help them find a source of relief. In most instances, if a therapist
tells the personality how to do something they generally comply.
Integration eventually must take place for this type to enjoying a
peaceful life. It is also important to help the patient see that they
are now safe and ask them to repeat this daily.
We need a stress management scheme that also helps the patient to
construct their memories and this will need careful consideration,
since these patients are survivors of prolonged abuse and neglect. As
you can see stress, management is blown away when you consider Multiple
Personality Disorders. It is often difficult for these types since very
little help is available to them. Unfortunately, shallow minded
individuals saturate the system and more than not disbelieve this
diagnose exists. However, I am aware of this diagnose and now that
these people will reach out quicker than anyone of the so-called normal
to find help to relieve their symptoms and stress.
Stress and stressors are the leading cause that interrupts these
peoples life. Therefore, it is more important that these people are
treated by a qualified counselor and avoid medicating these people
since it often causes more harm than good. Only an inexperienced
therapist will try to induce medications on these people. Therefore, we
see that stress management schemes with medications included does not
work here. We also need a stress management scheme that promotes hope,
since in most cases hope is non-existing. The only effective solution
then is bringing these experts into a state of mind and helps them to
understand these types, since they are people too.
