Eli Somer, a clinician in Israel, joins us to discuss dissociative absorption, reality shifting, and maladaptive daydreaming. He says the experience of non-traumagenic plurals is entirely valid, but also distinct from traumagenic DID. He says that final fusion or integration is not the only treatment goal, nor a decision for the therapist to make. He distinguishes the anthropological experience of multiplicity as a new phenomenon and a completely different thing than DID. He shares about his research, when intentional dissociation does become maladaptive or abnormal, and what clinical trends are happening globally.
