The
marketplace is saturated with helpful tips to avoid stress. The
many articles, books and reports available offering us tools to cope
with stress and minimize stressors. The problem is the general subjects
speak only for the so-called normal society, mentally ill in certain
ranges and medically ill. What about the patients diagnosed with
MPD-Multiple Personality Disorders? No one has touched this subject to
date that I am aware of and since I know the diagnose is factual I am
going to write this article specifically for the special people in life
with Multiple Personality Disorder. This disorder requires special
techniques since stressors and stress can cause the person to alter.
When the person alters, amnesia takes control and another personality
takes the spot. As you can see this person will have extreme
difficulty, following a specific set of stress management techniques,
since amnesia is the main symptom and all the personalities have a
different life, including behaviors, thoughts, friends and so forth.
The mind of alters are often brilliant individuals that have been hurt
beyond the capacity that one human being could take. These people had
to create a tool or mechanism to help them survive. Therefore, we can
toss out the breathing techniques, since most of the personalities will
consider themselves as extraordinary and beyond human. This means they
do not always recognize that they are human beings, since all of these
types were dehumanized beyond reality. It is next to impossible to set
up a stress management scheme that will work for this diagnose, since
we are dealing with more than one person in one body. The person
probably already has a degree of exercise set up in their life, since
some of the alters like to dance, while others may lift weights. We
need to establish techniques that can keep the individual on a routine
diet that provides healthful nutrition. Since diet plays a large role
in our medical and mental state, then dieting plans can benefit this
person immensely. This specific diagnose often endures timeframes where
anorexia and bulimia take control of the person on the spot. We also
need stress management techniques that helps the person avoid triggers
that forces amnesia and this causes altering to take place. Multiple
Personality Disorder patients often have special gifts including
sharing pain, sixth senses, and other abilities beyond normal that
creates a measurable amount of stress. It is important that people with
this diagnose set up a routine sleeping habit, since most are unaware
of what they do or say when altering takes place. It is important that
each personality hear the stress management techniques to help them
find a source of relief. In most instances, if a therapist tells the
personality how to do something they generally comply. Integration
eventually must take place for this type to enjoying a peaceful life.
It is also important to help the patient see that they are now safe and
ask them to repeat this daily. We need a stress management scheme that
also helps the patient to construct their memories and this will need
careful consideration, since these patients are survivors of prolonged
abuse and neglect. As you can see stress, management is blown away when
you consider Multiple Personality Disorders. It is often difficult for
these types since very little help is available to them. Unfortunately,
shallow minded individuals saturate the system and more than not
disbelieve this diagnose exists. However, I am aware of this diagnose
and now that these people will reach out quicker than anyone of the
so-called normal to find help to relieve their symptoms and stress.
Stress and stressors are the leading cause that interrupts these
peoples life. Therefore, it is more important that these people are
treated by a qualified counselor and avoid medicating these people
since it often causes more harm than good. Only an inexperienced
therapist will try to induce medications on these people. Therefore, we
see that stress management schemes with medications included does not
work here. We also need a stress management scheme that promotes hope,
since in most cases hope is non-existing. The only effective solution
then is bringing these experts into a state of mind and helps them to
understand these types, since they are people too.
