Renaming: Littles, Child Alters and other bad bits of Dissociative Identity Disorders language
21A thought on language and it's impact on the DID community
Littles
some advice
dont use that term
It comes from Age Sliding, a kink, a fetish and something not nessecarily linked to childhood trauma and acceptable when engaged in by consenting adults.
It has nothing to do with trauma
you need to replace it
with something like "Dissociated Childhood State / Flashback"
Something real, something medical.
cos currently theres this view that so called child alters are fun and should be embraced.
That healing from trauma or achieving a life unimpeded by your DID requires embracing and accepting all your various dissociated parts.
