Developing an Inner Safe Space for Parts

Note: This post was written for people with dissociative disorders, but anyone else can use the methods here if they're helpful!

This post is all about inner safe spaces! What is an inner safe space, though? Here's what Coping with Trauma-related Dissociation says:

"Inner safe spaces are images of places where you can be safe, relaxed, and cared for. These images have been shown to be helpful to many people, not just those with dissociative disorders. This type of imaginal activity is well known to produce a feeling of relaxation and well-being in those who use it regularly. If your inner experience feels so jarring, unsafe, and frightening, as it often does in individuals with dissociative disorders, the ability to imagine these spaces becomes especially important and helpful."

Inner safe spaces can be useful for many things. You can use it to relax & alleviate anxiety. It can be a tool for soothing dissociated parts of the self, or aide in your communication with them. You or other parts can enter your inner safe space to protect yourself from feeling overwhelmed or potential triggers. Overall, creating an inner safe space can help make your mind a safer, calmer place.

So, how do you make one? All you have to do is imagine it!

Your inner safe space can be anything you want to imagine. There are no rules and it can always be changed! You can create one imaginary place for all parts of your system to share & add to. Or, each part of your system can create their own inner safe spaces to match their own needs. Some people already experience some sort of inner world, too. This can always be changed in order to make it feel safer and calmer for all parts of the system.

🌟 Ideas for inner safe spaces:

Outdoor areas like a meadow, beach, forest, mountain, etc.

Buildings like a cabin, tree house, castle, library, etc.

Vehicles like a car, pirate ship, submarine, spacecraft, etc.

Something underground, underwater, in the sky, or in space.

An entire planet or world of your own.

A fictional world that brings you comfort.

An inner safe space isn't a safe space if it doesn't make you, including all parts of you, feel safe. A good place to start is by writing down things that make you feel safe. If you don't know what makes you feel safe, try looking at what makes you feel less unsafe. It might also help to ask a loved one or therapist for help!

Invite your system to include their own needs, too. Try not to judge them even if you disagree. It's important for all parts of the system to feel safe.

🌟 Ideas for things that you can add/adjust to make your inner safe space feel more comfortable:

Add games, food, and movies that you like

Create individual rooms for each part of the system

Give yourself an inner appearance that makes you happy

Add your favorite colors, sounds, smells, & sights

Add people, characters, animals & creatures that you like

Give yourself a comfortable bed, with soft blankets & maybe even some plushies

Add pride flags!

Create a protective force field around your safe space

You or other parts may want to have a safe space that no one else can intrude upon and that's okay. It's important to respect each other's privacy. You can also adjust the inner safe space to make communication between parts easier! For example, you could add intercoms, mailboxes, telephones, or even a meeting area for aiding communication.

🌟 Having trouble visualizing, or can't visualize things at all? Try...

Drawing or painting it.

Writing about it.

Building it. You can use a video game like the Sims (get it for free!) or Minecraft.

Basing it off of a real place.

Collecting photos/videos of what you want it to be like. You can find royalty-free images on Unsplash and Pixabay. Or you create a Pinterest account!

Filling a journal, document, blog, or discord server with pictures, writing, and anything you want about your inner safe space!

Trying guided exercises for creating inner safe spaces. (IMO this is best done with a therapist's help.)

Asking your friends, therapist, or loved ones for their suggestions.

Creating a physical safe space instead of an inner one.

kinda wanna start a system server on discord for adults with did/osdd

because most servers we've been in were full of minors? and it's really uncomfortable for us because most (if not all) of us are adults and the body is 21

would anyone be interested??? I'll put a link in the comments or something if this gets enough interactions

or, alternatively, please recommend us servers for adults !

Diagnosis???

So I started the process with a clinical psychologist to get a diagnosis. Issue is she was transphobic and unprofessional and just not great (and lying about her credentials). My actual therapist was wildly upset and felt terrible. We haven’t decided on next moves yet if i should try to go forward anyways or not, because it seems like the CLP may literally only diagnose me with adhd and nothing else because she refused to listen to me talk about DID, but ADHD was mentioned in passing and she suddenly made the entire appointment about that??

Anyways. So

The thing is, my real therapist who I fucking adore, won’t clinically diagnose me because she can’t do the assessments (she isn’t trained) and so she doesn’t feel comfortable right now doing so. (But she is taking the assessment classes because of me, so in 2-3 years no matter what she can😂) But she said I hit the score on the DES (which she comfortably can use) and I fit all of the criteria for OSDD/DID and she genuinely believes me. She’s even working with us as alters individually and she also has seen us switch.

What I’m trying to convince myself of, does this count enough as a diagnosis? I want a diagnosis to validate me because I have issues with believing myself. She can’t clinically diagnose me due to her own comfort, but she has essentially medically recognized me.

Would you all consider this a diagnosis?

(I am only asking as a way to validate my own thoughts. Not as a diagnosis. Just as a way to quell my concerns and validate myself so I can get some relief and stop trying to gaslight myself.)

Tl;dr

Basically medically recognized, undiagnosed due to therapist not having done assessment courses and no clinical psychologistswho can test in the area: does this count as diagnosis?

Twitter Dot Com when being used for internet discussions about irl stuff and fandom online as a social media platform nowadays is crazy because someone could say "The point of the label of being a lesbian is that it's about loving women and non-men as a woman or non-man esp in a society that forces cishet white male dominance over different marginalized groups and that saying that those who identify as men/the male gender can identity with the lesbian sexuality label is not only wrong but harmful and erasing queer history which is problematic" or "Dissociative Identity Disorder and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder is literally a medical condition thats origins are caused by trauma and that identifying as an 'Endogenic system' or any other sort of 'non-traumagenic' system is not only factually incorrect but hurts the plural community" while literally being a lesbian or a medically recognized system and people would still disagree with them. Please send help, the kids are infact not okay sadly/Neg.

Grounding tips if you're dissociating in public.

If you're in a public place it can be harder to ground. Here are things that have worked for us:

Pick a random colour and then find and name - out loud if possible, but in your head can help too - all the things you can see that are that colour. EG "that streetsign is green. This grass is green. That person's coat is green". Alternatively, just say the name of the colour every time you see something with that colour. If you run out of a colour too quickly, pick another one and start again.

Control your breathing. It's very easy to lose control of your breathing when dissociated. Try to focus on it, and count your breaths to whatever breathing exercises work for you. If you're not sure what to do, one good breathing exercise is to Breath In for 5 seconds, Hold It for 3 seconds, then Breathe Out for 6 seconds and repeat. Focus on how your breath feels; is the air warm, neutral or cold as you breathe in and out?

Wiggle your toes and feet, and/or your fingers and hands. This helps with the circulation flowing throughout your body, which can help you ground easier.

If possible, remove yourself from your current location. If you're in a cafe or library or store/shop, go to the bathroom if you feel able to, or leave the place briefly and walk around. If you're on the street, go into a nearby shop/cafe/mall/centre etc. If possible, a quieter place like a park may work best. Either way, try to change your location, as the change in scenery can help you with the dissociation.

Carry chewing gum and/or water. It's okay if you don't have them this time, but drinking water (especially if it's cold water), chewing gum or eating something small may help.

If any of these helped you, I'm glad! If not, that's okay! You will be alright, and your experiences are still valid. The unfortunate thing with dissociative disorders is that sometimes there's not much you can do except wait for it to pass. I promise you that you will be okay, and that this will pass in time.

How to unstuck a trauma holder

First of, unstucking a trauma holder and grounding them from the persistent emotional pain and constant re-experiencing of trauma they suffer under can take a long time, but there are techniques that can be used to help ground them.

Breathing techniques

Breathing techniques have proven to be quite helpful in grounding an distracting from the emotional anguish. The focus on nothing but the breathing, and on being aware of how the breath moves through your body is very helpful in creating sensations that keep the alter in the here now. Yoga Breathing | Alternate Nostril Breathing (youtube.com) Box breathing relaxation technique: how to calm feelings of stress or anxiety (youtube.com)

Setting up an inner safe space

Setting up an inner safe space can be very helpful and grounding for the alter, they can set it up themselves following simple instructions to do so. This place can then be always visited to practice allowing positive feelings of safety. It can be a place filled with symbolism for their positive qualities, or be something very simple without many details. If they arent capable or willing to create their own inner safe space, you can also attempt to do it for them if they arent against it, this can feel like a gift to them because you do so with the best in mind for them, thinking of what they like, and what what might make them feel safe.

Grounding Exercise for Anxiety #7: Creating a Safe Place - YouTube

Somatic therapy/experiencing

To proccess their trauma emotions, and to feel more at ease with their body somatic experiencing can be very helpful guided and somatic experiencing that just comes to you. Like the alter that might not have spend years in their body using both of their hands to touch their legs, arm, belly to get used to their body again and to feel grounded within it. For them to explore how their body suits them and how it feels nowadays, to become aquainted with how the body differs in the present. Guided Somatic experiencing can lead to the processing of trauma and expression of it, since a lot of trauma-holders are stuck in one or more trauma responses doing this can also help heal their sympathetic nervous system and allign them to get out of their trauma response. A lot of the time trauma holders are in so much pain that merely speaking about their experiences will not help them, theres the rule that once your level of distress reaches a certain height you can only change emotions via emotional reasoning and no longer via rational reasoning, so you have to find other solutions than intellectualizing or talking.

Somatic Practice for Trauma and Stress Release (youtube.com)

Trauma informed Yoga

Similar to somatic experiencing, allows you to proccess repressed emotions and feelings stuck in the body that otherwise cannot get out and cant be intellectualized out

Trauma-Informed Hip Opening Yoga for Emotional Release | Trauma Informed Yoga (youtube.com)

Art

Poetry, drawings, music and every creative endeavour you can think of can be helpful in letting a trauma holder proccess their trauma and emotions. I have heard that one over and over again as being one of the most helpful ways of coping, their trauma holder didnt know where to put their anger until expressing it into art, and so on.

Following the emotion You lie down in bed, get comfortable and just let you and your trauma-holder in co-con follow the emotions and anxieties your trauma holder feels, this proccess can take a long time. You just let every emotion come and go and feel it to your fullest. This might cause strange bodily sensations like a current running through your body, body party to go numb, or sensations of pressure. Its important to be kind to each and every sensation and emotion. When you start feeling the emotion in the body like that you first start to appreciate how powerful your emotions truly are. At the end of this you may cry tears of real relief and feel a bit lighter.

Grounding excerises

10+ Mindful Grounding Techniques (Incl. Group Exercise) (positivepsychology.com)

there are multiple ones to use, they often help redirect a little bit and to get you or them out of a flashback.

All of these things take practice and repetition, you cant do them just once and expect your trauma holder to be free of their symptoms! It takes dedication.

hi sunflower! i’m looking specifically for resources on child alters and i wondered if you could point me to any. the more thorough the better! i have checked out all of the sites linked on your page but haven’t found the information i need, everything is quite vague. i’m specifically interested in resources about/about working with child parts holding traumatic memory. thank you! have a nice day!

Apologies for the late reply! You might find some books to be helpful with this. I especially recommend Coping with Trauma-related Dissociation; it has multiple chapters on the topic you're interested in!

Self-help books I recommend:

I also find this video by Dr. Mike Lloyd soooo helpful. You should give it a watch:

Some other resources that might be useful:

If anyone has any system servers that are safe and somewhat active, please send them our way. We no longer feel safe enough in the server we’re in and we’ve been having a hard time finding new ones.

We don’t have any real requirements. Just… somewhat active, preferably not massive, traumagenic preferred as that’s our experience. (WE WILL NOT BE DISCUSSING SYSCOURSE. WE ARE JUST STATING WHAT WE ARE.)
