The Experiential Toolbox for Dissociative Identity Disorder

Often the result of a deeply traumatic experience, dissociative identity disorder (DID) affects millions of people, yet is commonly misunderstood. Written by a psychologist who has learned to thrive with DID herself, this unique toolbox provides evidence-based methods to help readers connect, communicate, care for, and cooperate with their system of parts. By providing emotion regulation skills, validation, and security, this book can help readers with DID successfully and safely express themselves and navigate life.

Adrian Fletcher, PsyD, is a psychologist, speaker, writer, consultant, and mental health advocate. She is a human trafficking survivor living with dissociative identity disorder (DID)--formerly known as multiple personality disorder (MPD). She has been working within the field of mental health for close to two decades, and has recently turned her focus to the community at large. A passionate mental health warrior, Fletcher is looking to change the perception around mental health related conditions and is standing up to stigma. She wants to inspire individuals and the community to become trauma-informed, and to lovingly accept all parts of themselves, regardless of a mental health condition.
Fletcher's mission is to bring hope, love, and inspiration to the world by sharing her lived and professional experience with mental health. Her first article, Multilayered, was the first academic journal publication on lived experience of DID by the American Psychiatric Association's Journal of Psychiatric Services. Her work has also been featured by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Psychology Today, and This is My Brave. She lives in the greater Phoenix, AZ, area.
