Is your mind fragmented or is your spirit/soul fragmented?
This is the question I ask myself everyday since I found out what my diagnosis of DID meant. What is truly fragmented?
My T and I talked about this question in our session today. My T thinks it is just my mind that is fragmented and that my spirit/soul is whole - that I should always search to find my spirit/soul so I can find wholeness in my fragmented life and heal. I think that is a wonderful idea, really, but I don't know if I totally think that way. Sometimes I really wonder if it is my spirit/soul that is fragmented...
I don't know if I will ever find the answer to this question but I do want to know what other people think about this. What is truly fragmented?
That's a tough question. Gee, thanks, Bee! Now I'll wonder about this all weekend.

Hmmm, I think the mind is definitely fragmented and the soul is shattered. That might sounds like the same word but to us it's different, if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered this very same thing.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this today.
ReplyDeleteEven before I read this post! Here
is what I think. :)
God placed one soul in each person.
I don't think this fragmented problem
has anything to do with that.
Now a spirit is a different matter.
Such as, when your spirit is broken.
Or, your over all spirit (attitude) is
joyful. I think maybe the spirit
encompasses all of the alts that are
present at that moment (I think I'm
going to call my alts..... traits).
Or maybe not.
But the splits, I want to believe are
in my mind. Like memories. They
are not all out at the same time. Some
are hidden so deep that I'm afraid to
try to dig them out. Yet, they will
sometimes surface if I think about
them hard enough.
I'm trying to rationalize
this all so that I can "get my mind
around it". So that I can embrace it.
If this is who I am then I want to
know and understand as much about
it as possible.
*sigh* wow that took a lot of energy!
later, ((hug))
