Resources
DID-aware places to learn, connect, and find help
None of these are us, and none of these replace each other. Take what's useful, leave what isn't. If a link feels like too much today, that's information — close the tab and come back later, or never. The crisis section is at the bottom, but the floating Need support? button is on every page if you want it sooner.
Trauma-informed therapist directories
Therapists who actually understand DID and OSDD. Filtering for "trauma-informed" is the minimum bar.
Multiplied By One
A directory built by and for systems. Therapists listed here have experience with plurality and dissociation.
https://www.multipliedbyone.org/
ISSTD — Find a Professional
The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. Members are clinicians who have studied dissociative disorders specifically.
https://isstd.connectedcommunity.org/network/network-find-a-professional
Inclusive Therapists
Filter by trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and identity-affirming. Useful for finding therapists who hold multiple identities with care.
https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/
Open Path Collective
Sliding-scale therapy ($30–80/session) for those without insurance. Search filters include trauma and dissociation.
https://openpathcollective.org/
Education for systems
Plain-language explainers written by people who get it. None of these are diagnostic.
Power to the Plurals (The Plural Association)
A nonprofit run by plural folks. Educational resources, advocacy, and community support — inclusive of traumagenic, endogenic, and median systems.
https://powertotheplurals.com/
DID Research
A long-standing educational site written by systems for systems. Good for understanding terminology, structural dissociation theory, and common experiences.
http://did-research.org/
Pluralpedia
A community wiki covering plural terminology — alters, fronting, switching, system mapping, and more. Edited by the community itself.
https://pluralpedia.org/
CTAD Clinic (YouTube)
Dr. Mike Lloyd of the Clinic for Trauma & Dissociation. Calm, explanatory videos on DID, parts work, and structural dissociation.

For supporters, partners, and parents
For the people who love a system and want to learn how to show up well.
Skills, grounding, and self-help
Tools you can use without a therapist. None of these replace one.
Community spaces
Places to find other systems online. Each has its own moderation; tread at your own pace.
r/DID (Reddit)
A large peer community. Heavy moderation against fakeclaiming and gatekeeping. Read pinned posts before participating.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DID/
r/plural (Reddit)
Inclusive of all system origins — traumagenic, endogenic, median, questioning. A softer general space than DID-specific subs.
https://www.reddit.com/r/plural/
PluralKit (Discord)
A Discord bot that lets each alter speak with their own avatar and name. Used by many systems on plural-friendly servers.
