<p>
In this 5 part video series, I talk about some of the aspects regarding Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociated Identity Disorder, as it is more recently called. In this first video I look at the cause.</p>
<p>If you or someone you love suspects that you have this disorder, or if you have been diagnosed with Dissociated Identity Disorder, there is hope. I have had success in my practice on the road to healing this condition, by taking a look at the power and control trail in the client’s history.</p>
<p>In this video I explain what I mean by a power and control trail, and how abusive power and control that undermines your ability to be in control of your life can cause dissociation, multiple personalities and dissociated identity disorder.  I introduce the idea of how dissociative identity begins, and how it continues.<br />
In part two of this series, I will discuss discovering the purpose of the alter personalities.</p>
<p>Please feel free to leave comments or post your questions as we take a look at dissociation and MPD over the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p>With You in Mind,<br />
Norm Quantz</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/34038160?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="500" height="375" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>In this video I talk about the victim mindset and particularly focus on the double mindedness of victims who refuse to live as victims but are still being victimized.</p>
<p>This is common among people in the process of learning to come out of their victim situations, and out of their survivor instincts, insisting that they are no longer living as victims, not realizing that they are not free from victimization yet.</p>
<p>In his book, “When the Body says NO” <a href="http://www.drgabormate.com/">Dr Gabor Mate </a>talks about people who live this way, putting everyone and their needs before their own. He writes about how this kind of stress can cause serious immune system weaknesses and how these people are at risk for major chronic illness.</p>
<p>There is a huge internal angst when a person lives as a victim of another or others. Have a look at this video as we take a look at victim mentality and its effects on people and how it is possible to live a new way of life.</p>
<p>With You in Mind,<br />
