Shame as Affect Regulation in Dissociative Identity Disorder.

J Trauma Dissociation

Solo Private Practice, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

Published: January 2025

The abusive and/or neglectful relational mis-attunement disrupts ongoing developmental growth and binds attachments to abusive caregivers. This shame-based relational frame then becomes a template for subsequent relationships and self-definitions. Shame and dissociation combine to provide a paradoxical and powerful self-protective form of self-regulation via a dis-enlivened existence that enables people with DID to live with otherwise potentially dysregulating affects and relationships. Shame-activated defenses and extreme inhibition of feeling couple with dissociative compartmentalization to limit affective awareness and enable the wounded individual to hide from the life around them and within them.

Addressing stigma is crucial for enhancing well-being, fostering inclusivity and improving access to care and support.
