Healing My Parts: Real Talk on Dissociative Identity Disorder and Complex Trauma

The Gianu System on Navigating Trauma Therapies


Listen Later

We are so excited to welcome back the Gianu System for one of our most insightful (and joy-filled!) conversations yet. In this episode, we talk about what healing looks like across time, modalities, and parts — and what it meant for the Gianu System to experience a fusion.

Together, we explore the winding, non-linear nature of trauma recovery — and how systems like ours navigate therapeutic work that meets all of us where we are.

We explore the complexities of being a system in trauma therapy: trying different modalities, navigating misattunements, and learning to getting alters communicating. We talk candidly about what it’s like when therapy doesn’t work — and what happened when they finally found something that did.

You’ll hear about the modalities they explored, including:

* 🧠 CBT (and why it didn’t land)

* 💬 IFS (what helped and what felt misaligned)

* ⚡ EMDR (how it helped — and what was hard)

* 🌀 Deep Brain Reorienting — the approach that finally changed everything

We dive into:

* Why screening tools like the DES and MID should be given more than once (because who’s fronting matters!)

* How missing a DID diagnosis can derail trauma work

* The power of self-compassion, communication, and humor in the healing process

* What fusion really is (and what it’s not)

Whether you're a therapist, a supporter, or part of a system yourself, this episode offers nuance, hope, clarity, connection, and so many "oh wow" moments.

🔁 With all the lightbulb moments and deep valiation, this is one you’ll want to come back to again and again.

* Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
