I am so thrilled to share our newest publication! @BLSnyderRN @TOPDDlab We asked participants what was helpful and meaningful about participating in the TOP DD Network program, a program to treat complex dissociative disorders. Our findings were so illuminative!

😊New publication! In this study, we explored the way that people who dissociate make meaning of their culture’s effect on their dissociation and mental health treatment.
