I was reading about how OSDD or similar dissociative issues can come about through instances of “extreme psychological coercion” like cults or being a prisoner for many years.

And then I thought, what are examples of this coercion in families of severely emotionally neglectful, deeply traumatized and immature parents? Surely this could cause some dissociative disorders too? Has anyone been able to grow up in this kind of home and still walk out of it with an integrated and whole sense of self and personality ?

SDAM seemed to fit, then I read the post saying SDAM may be disguising something like structural dissociation.
How do you know if it’s SDAM or something else like this?
Do people with SDAM always feel like their personality and identity is cohesive? What does a cohesive sense of self feel like?
