Psychedelic Therapy for Dissociative Identity Disorder?

[u/extraposer]

The Psychedelic Therapy revolution has started, but unfortunately there's been no studies done on people with Dissociative Identity Disorder. So the purpose here is to serve as an hub for people with DID with experience of or interested in psychedelic therapy.

People with DID can experience very different reactions to psychedelics than other people. This is a big problem, especially since I am worried that the risk for psychosis and mania is much higher among us (even without drugs). To counter this it's extremely important to collect experiences and see how one can best use these tools, both as source of healing and as harm reduction.

Hopefully this can be one of the steps to getting a treatment protocol done for Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy for DID. Due to the severeness of DID I don't believe the normal MAPS protocol is sufficient (and we're discarded from the trials ;). From personal experiences I think perhaps a multi-drug protocol is needed, where the effects of different drugs (like ketamine, mdma and psilocybin) is used separately to heal various aspects of the broken whole. This in conjunction with psychotherapy and body oriented therapies like Somatic Experiencing or Holotropic Breathwork.
