How many of us have wondered if dissociative identity disorder is “real”? There’s certainly a lot of debate in the field about this topic, and I myself have questioned DID since first reading about it in the late 90’s. My guest today, Dr. Chrissy Mannion, has extensive experience treating DID. Chrissy and I discuss many aspects of DID, including:

• The history and debate around DID’s authenticity
• The relationship between DID and trauma
• “Red flags” to look for when assessing for DID
• Treatment options for individuals with DID

I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and have grown to over 20 clinicians. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.

As the host of the Testing Psychologist Podcast, I provide private practice consulting for psychologists and other mental health professionals who want to start or grow psychological testing services in their practices. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids.
