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 same numbers stay within reach on every page: the footer carries them on mobile, and on desktop the floating Need support? button is in the corner.
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.

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.

Open Path Collective
Sliding-scale therapy ($30-80/session) for those without insurance. Search filters include trauma and 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.
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.
