I heard the movie is pretty inaccurate for the most part (?)
I am just curious what y'all would believe is accurate in the movie based on your own experiences or someone else's and what you consider to be inaccurate.
BTW I do not have DID nor do I suspect it or anything. Just curious after watching the movie.

Hi everyone,
I’m really curious about the clinical perspective on severe trauma and how it plays out in the room. I have two main questions:
What are the most common or unexpected ways you see clients protect themselves or react while sharing severe trauma? Thank you for your insight!
I have seen statistics of how common childhood sexual abuse is, and it is honestly insane to me.
Specifically, though, I'm wondering about a certain dynamic: Is it really so common for children to be abused by an adult they know (or know-ish), rather than a stranger? And is it common for it to be a repeated thing, and not just a one-time incident?
No matter how you are sexually assaulted or abused, it is very bad and should have never happened. I do not mean that other ways of sexual abuse are lesser at all, but I am just wondering about this specific type. Is it really as common as the statistics say?
I have been mistreated/abused in many other ways yet emotional abuse seems to have had the worst impact on me.
Anyone else feel the same as me?
(I am not saying in anyway one type of abuse is worse than another. This just happens to be how I feel about my own trauma)
As a kid I said at 5 years old in an interview with counseling people "Dad takes our clothes off and takes pictures of us". Dad is what I was forced to call my step dad. At the most I had only known him for a few months. Is there anyway this could have been normal context. I said " he curls my hair" multiple times and " he dresses me up". He was abusive 100% sure but could he have been sexually abusive in anyway?
I am just wondering if EMDR actually makes you remember things and how that may help. And would re-remembering ever have negative affects? And how does it bring back memories if it does bring them back? For me I will sometimes talk like telling a fakw story, no real memory, and it will be 100% true. Would EMDR bring memories up in this way? In what other ways does it bring memories up?
Sorry that I am kinda confusing and if these questions are silly or make no sense. Thanks for taking the time to read tho!
When I was a child like 9 I going to have two more sisters because my mom was pregnant with twins. It was my biological mother that told me this. I was very excited. Happy. I didn't reveal this too much to anyone. Well after months and months of the happiness of new siblings. I was told they died from a miscarriage. Sad I know but even later I found out my mom was pretending and this never happened at all (She didn't have custody and rarely visited). I know it sounds silly but I feel like I still have unprocessed emotions from my “siblings dying”. Even though it never happened and deep down it is like it was true. Recently this has more come up as I am trying to remember my childhood (bad idea I know) but how do I even process grief I shouldnt even have for siblings that never existed.
