Dissociative Identity (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder)

Q.  When people have dissociative identity (which, by the way, is a healthy way of dealing with severe trauma),  I am wondering where all those identities come from. They seem to come from split off parts of self, but others seem to come from other dimensional levels. I am wondering if some come from others who have been close to the person in other lifetimes and want to lend a hand to help manage the hard times. Many come with different colored eyes, accents, physical issues and manifestations that the core self does not have.

Blessings, Love and Light,

A.  When I look at this, I get that when people have a very traumatic situation that they are unable to deal with at the moment, they basically "leave" their body as a survival mechanism.  Their subconscious and conscious mind is unable to process what they are experiencing (could be physical, mental or spiritual), and "fight or flight" occurs.  They involuntarily "fly" to protect themselves though a form of escape, and then return after the threat from the physical, mental or spiritual impact subsides (which could even include a thought about the event that won't leave their mind or they aren't ready to remember).

The real question is "who or what steps in, and from where?"  I get that a person's guides come in and take physical form.  Our body is like a 3D vehicle for our spirit.  The spirit remains attached to your vehicle, but it essentially takes a back seat and allows your guides to "drive" until you are ready to step back in.  Guides can take many forms, and can act in a wide range of ways depending on what you need at the moment.

I then ask, why are some personalities "trouble makers" or "reckless" if they are indeed your guides.  I get the guides aren't trouble makers, but this type of "rough" or "aggressive" personality may be what is needed to help you subconsciously work through the trauma.  Perhaps in real life you need to let out aggression, yell, hit a punching bag, or you are holding onto vengeful feelings toward what caused you harm- then there will be an aggressive personality that tries to enable that to happen, using a guide as an outlet (it is in your greater good, even though it may not appear that way on the outside).

Regardless of what the personality is, it has a much deeper meaning than what it is you witness.  Promiscuous people may need validation, attention.  Loud, big personalities may need to have a voice.  Personalities turning to addiction could need to work on self-love.  A personality may also be caring and nurturing, perhaps expressing what they need, or what they want to be able to provide.  In spirit, there is no good or bad, things just "are."  People will get what they need, and working through a trauma can trigger different things for different people.

The real pathway to allowing someone to heal, and releasing the guides back to the spirit realm is to help them heal from the trauma.  See the personalities as a key to what they need (rather than force them to suppress the personality).  Many times I get it is more effective to get the person to see the even from a third-party perspective (through hypnosis??) and analyze the event in small segments realizing it was in the past and can no longer cause harm.  It is a slow process, and support is very important.

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light, Lynn
