the concern that people will worsen their dissociative symptoms/identity disturbance by misinterpreting their experiences as plurality has never made sense to me because, like. most people who report benefiting from therapies like IFS/parts work also report that unblending (purposefully detaching) from parts of their psyche allows them to engage with those parts more fully and analyze their wants and needs. i guess 'detachment' is a scary concept for people because it can imply rejection or disavowal? and i agree, that absolutely hurts people! but if you're actively not rejecting or disavowing whatever you perceive as, like, an independent agent that shares your brain, i don't think it's inherently going to harm you to detach yourself conceptually from that agent, even if you end up being wrong about what it is.
It's the end of the year and I need to make some more charitable donations. Could you suggest a few good organizations?
Hey! Its so nice that you're willing and able to do this. I'll recommend some that I have personally used/donated to: Islamic Relief: I donate to their efforts every year. They're raising for Palestine, Yemen, Philippines, Afghanistan and so much more. I like their level of transparency, especially around the operational issues in getting aid to places like Palestine and how they prepare for such scenarios.
E-sims for Gaza: Israel has cutoff all internet, cellular, and landline services in Gaza. This has made communication in/out of Gaza extremely difficult and so Mirna El-Helbawi decided to set up this amazing program to get e-sims in the hands of journalists and people so they can maintain comms with the outside world. I have personally sent numerous e-sims and suggest Simly's app. Its super easy to use and you can have insight into when the e-sim is activated and used. Note: please read the instructions in the link before purchasing/sending the qr code. SAPA: The Sudanese American Physicians Association directly operates hospitals on the ground in Sudan. They offer essential/life saving healthcare services on the ground as well as an amazing hunger relief program. They're also very transparent and have been operating on the ground since the 90s.
Save the Children, Friends of the Congo, and World Food Program are some other great/trusted charities to donate to.
