1.7M Michiganders live with #mentalillness—fewer than 2/3 get care. The system is stretched thin + full of conflicts. Grateful to @michiganadvance.com for advancing the conversation on behavioral health in Michigan + why MDHHS has a chance to fix it. michiganadvance.com/2025/04/21/t...

Image description: Title: "The Structural Model of Dissociation: OSDD" 1. Top Left Panel: "According to the Structural Dissociation of the Personality (TSDP) theory, the personality is divided into two parts: the apparently normal part (ANP) and the Emotional Part (EP). The ANP's function is to be responsible for day-to-day functioning, such as hunger, sleep, and social engagement. The EP's function is to hold memories of trauma and mammalian defensive reactions, such as fight, flight, and freeze." 2. Top Right Panel: "A person with OSDD has fewer 'adult' parts to help share the load. Where EPs are also less autonomous and less likely to be 'out,' these traumatized parts of the personality can end up being neglected or ignored." 3. Bottom Left Panel: "Dissociative identity disorder is a case of tertiary dissociation with multiple ANPs and multiple EPs, whereas OSDD is a case of secondary dissociation with a single ANP and multiple EPs." 4. Bottom Right Panel: "If a person with OSDD has non-distinctive traumatized parts of their personality, it can be harder to give them a voice and the time and space they need to bring their trauma to the fore, than it is for a clearly individuated EP with a name and age."
