Ashamed Parts:
”Shame is a major emotion that maintains dissociation.
Some parts of the personality are especially avoided and reviled because they hold experiences, feelings,or behaviors that you, or some part of you have labelled as shameful or disgusting.
You will need to be especially empathetic and accepting toward these parts of yourself.
A central problem for people who have a dissociative disorder is that parts of the personality avoid each other and their painful memories and experiences, or they tend to have strong conflicts with each other.
In the literature this has been described as phobia of dissociative parts.
Parts typically feel fearful, ashamed, or repulsed by other parts.
In particular dissociative parts that function in daily life want as little as possible to do with dissociative parts that are fixed in traumatic experiences.
Parts stuck in trauma-time often feel abandoned and neglected by the parts that try to move on without them in daily life.
These ongoing inner conflicts can be painful and frightening, and they cost a person with a dissociative disorder a tremendous amount of energy.
As we said before, all parts need to learn to accept and cooperate with each other.
After all, in order to adapt and be our best, we must learn to accept ourselves and all our aspects.
Only in acknowledgment and accepting are we able to make positive changes in ourselves.”
