Our experiences aren't going to be the same as the singlet-normative world taught us, the way we experience a relationship is different and that is okay. Being able to embrace that, instead of trying to fit a box that will only hurt your system is crucial to a good relationship. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Small, Intimate Support Groups The Key to Trust Description: In this clip, The Crisses discusses the importance of smaller support groups and structure in large ones. They point at how online groups with large amount of members lack intimacy and trust, as they don't have the structure to allow members to feel safe or seen within their spaces. Bigger groups, usually in person, can have more members when they have good infrastructure and culture within their communities. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Embodied Minds Plurality as Multiple Description: In this clip, Obscura explains the connection between body and mind. She points at how we aren't minds inside a body, as those are interconnected. We are body minds, a combination of the two which cannot function without the other. As plurals, we are a collection of body minds, with different mind experiences and bodily functions. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Relationships Shape Identity Communication and Reflection Description: In this clip, Daisy explains how our identity can be shaped by a relationship. When we assume roles and dynamic within relationships, we need to reflect with our system if everyone is okay with said roles and dynamic. It's important to understand what your system expects from a partner, and what a partner expects for your system (Collectively and individually), so that yous can together find respect and communication in that relationship. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Navigating Plurality in Relationships When to Come Out Description: In this clip, Daisy talks about when we should talk about our plurality when starting a relationship. It's important to talk with all within your system to understand their boundaries and opinions on this, as adding a new person or system to your life can create new points of pressure and stress. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Leadership with Integrity Embrace Accountability Description: In this clip, The Crisses point out how it's important to observe how community leaders act. When leaders have different standards for themselves compared to other community members when it comes to rules and culture, that is a bad sign that should be either discussed with them or taken into account when deciding if a community is good for your system. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Organizing Living Spaces for Plurals Description: In this clip, Daisy shares tips on creating harmony and communication in plural living spaces. We need to accommodate ourselves within our lives, to better meet our needs and create safe spaces. To do that, specially when in a relationship with another plural, it is important to create strategies of organization and communication (Internal and external) so that your living space is harmonic. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Neurodivergent and Plural Tools of Inclusion Description: In this clip, Obscura reminds us of the meaning of "Neurodivergent" and "Plural". Both are terms created and coined deliberately to be inclusive, not to exclude experiences we might not understand or agree with. Inclusion creates space for healing, exclusion feeds hate and aggression. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Be Gentle Understanding Diverse Experiences Description: In this clip, Harmonic System encourages us to be gentle when interacting with others whose experience we may not understand. They remind us that everyone and everymany has different lived experiences that deserve to be heard, we may even learn from them. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Authenticity in Plural Relationships In-Person & Online Description: In this clip, The Crisses talk about authenticity in relationships and the differences between in person and online connections. They mention the importance of how we are received by others, as that dictates how authentic we feel comfortable being around them. When coming out as plural to people who knew us before syscovery or making new friends, how they receive and welcome us can be the difference between a lasting relationship or the breaking of one. </video> <video> Understanding My Headmates A Journey to Self-Diagnosis Description: In this clip, Lavender System shares what their experience with self diagnosis was like. Individually, as headmates, they've had to learn to embrace each other's experiences and listen to one another, breaking internal biases and piecing together their combined selves to understand how to live together. What about yous, what have you and your system done to better understand one another? #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Shared Memories Strengthening Relationships Over Time Description: In this clip, Daisy shares the importance of keeping track of memories inside a relationship. When we share moments with others, it can be hard to feel a sense of continuity together because of amnesia or memory barriers between members of the system. Daisy gives us ideais of how to accommodate that, what about yous? What does your system do to accommodate memories and amnesia? #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> A Reminder That You All Deserve Belonging Description: In this clip, The Crisses reminds us that we deserve belonging. They remind us that we all need and deserve to be seen, supported, cherished, heard and known. Finding groups that cheer our presence and understand our needs, that allow us to be authentically ourselves. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Deconstructing and Building Our Own Power Description: In this clip, Obscura encourages us to work on deconstructing tradicional family systems that harm our society. Starting small, by deconstructing internalized beliefs within your system is a huge change, as it impacts not only the people within your system but the external social circle. #PowerToThePlurals #Plurality #Multiplicity #PluralPride #PluralTalk #PluralGang #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #OSDD </video> <video> Plural Relationships Boundaries, Patience, and Understanding Description: In this clip, Daisy expresses the importance of boundaries and understanding within plural relationships. They point us at reflecting on where our boundaries lie and if they are compatible with our partner's boundaries, also reflecting about the unique experiences we have in a plural relationship. Not everyone will understand the specifics of our experiences, and that is okay. #did #didsystem #alters #system #systok #systemtok #systokdid #osddsystem #pluralsystem #pluralpride #endosafe #dissociativeidentitydisorder #osdd #osdd1bsystem #osdd1a #osddtok #osdd1b #plurality </video>
