Bio

Bio in German/auf Deutsch


Due to my health, I might be offline for some days without a warning from time to time. But don't worry, eventually I'll come back.


About me

Hey, I am audienta (they/them). I have been here on 7 Cups since 2017, so I have had the chance to gather a lot of experiences I am very grateful for. Sometimes life just does not work like we would like it to, but the conversations showed me again and again how resilient we as human beings are.

My own mental and physical health have been challenging me for a while now. I have had to learn how to set boundaries and listen to my own needs. There are days when I can do that and there are others where it does not work. And that is okay. We all give our best to accept and live our life.

I had the honour to be interviewed for the Living with Leaders series, so if you want to know more about me, that might be an option.

...See more Hello everyone, April is FND Awareness month. FND stands for functional neurological disorder. While the cause of it is unkown, research indicates that there might be a link between traumatic experiences and FND. (source [https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.neuropsych.19050121#:~:text=Much%20work%20has%20been%20done,childhood%2C%20adolescence%2C%20and%20adulthood.]) That's why I'm posting this thread in the trauma support community.  ------------------------- How do we spread awareness for FND? Light the world up in blue and orange, wear blue and orange and spread awareness for FND! To learn more about the FND awareness month, go to the FND Hope Website [https://fndhope.org/fndaware/].  ------------------------- What is a functional neurological disorder? * FND is caused by an issue with the nervous system and with the communication between the brain and the body, however, the exact cause isn't known yet.  * Triggers for the onset of the symptoms can range from a stressful time in someone's life over an infection all the way to a traumatic head injury.  * FND is considered a rare disease, however, the prevalence isn't clear as FND is still very poorly understood. * FND symptoms can be fast-onset and vary in severity, however, FND patients are not in control of their symptoms. * The symptoms themselves can be physical, sensory or cognitive, like for example seizures, paralysis, blindness, and problems with memory and concentration. * The current treatment options for FND include physical and psychotherapy. * (Read more about it here [https://fndhope.org/fnd-guide/]) ------------------------- Questions for you 1) Do you have FND or know someone with FND? 2) If yes, what has your experience with FND been? 3) What would you like to know about FND? ------------------------- As I struggle with FND myself, I've helped to create posts about it before, especially about non-epileptic seizures. You can read them here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/disabilities/ArticlesResourcesConditionSpecificInformation_458/NonEpilepticSeizuresWithAudienta_275839/]and here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/disabilities/ArticlesResourcesConditionSpecificInformation_458/NESEverythingaboutnonepilepticseizures_275028/] if you want to.  Take care, audienta ------------------------- You can remove yourself from or add yourself to the taglist here.

You can read more about it here [https://www.childwelfare.gov/preventionmonth/].  While risk factors, like mental illnesses, substance abuse, divorces, poverty, homelessness, or discrimination make child abuse more likely, there are also factors that can prevent it. These factors are summarized in the building blocks of the HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) framework: (source [https://cwig-prod-prod-drupal-s3fs-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/public/documents/guide_2023_0.pdf?VersionId=2hLbBdCUWCJ8A_BZG2JxDJmSh2oWybIV]) [Image description: 4 Building Blocks of HOPE. 1) Relationships, 2) Environment, 3) Engagement, 4) Opportunities for Social Emotional Development] ------------------------- Trauma Support Community Check-In for April 2024 1) What's one of your favourite activities to engage with other people? 2) What sign would you like for parents, teachers, social workers, etc. to know that can point to child abuse? 3) What is something you'd do as a parent to make sure that your child doesn't experience any child abuse? ------------------------- If you have a question you'd like me to ask at the next check-in, please let me know!

Easter Check-In 2024
Trauma Support / by audienta
Last post
April 4th
...See more Hello everyone, This weekend, for some of us, we celebrate Easter!  ------------------------- Why do we celebrate Easter? The story begins the Sunday before Easter: Palm Sunday. On this day, Jesus enters Jerusalem and is celebrated. Then on Holy Thursday, Jesus has the Last Supper with supporters. Later this day, he gets captured, as one of his supporters, Judas, had betrayed him. Because of that, he gets crucified the next day, on Good Friday. And then, on Easter, he rises from the death. That's why many Christians celebrate Easter. To finish the story, 40 days later, on Ascension Day, Jesus goes back to heaven. 50 days after Easter, on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit shows themselves to the apostles which leads to Jesus' supporters starting to proselytise. ------------------------- How is Easter celebrated? That's where you come in: If you celebrate Easter, please comment on how you celebrate it!  And if you don't celebrate Easter, what questions do you have about it? Is there a similar celebration in your religion?  Let's talk about it!
DID Awareness Day 2024
Trauma Support / by audienta
Last post
March 31st
...See more Hello everyone, Today, it's DID awareness day! In this post, there will be a short explanation of what DID is, 5 myths about DID, links to other posts about DID, and then questions for you to answer. ------------------------- What is DID? DID stands for dissociative identity disorder which is a disorder that is caused by childhood trauma. The trauma causes the forming identity to split into multiple parts, also known as personalities or alters. These personalities can have their own preferences, dislikes, names, ages, etc. and the person with DID, also called a system in some cases, switches between these different parts. Due to these switches, the person might experience amnesia (memory loss). DID can also correlate with other disorders, for example with PTSD which stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. ------------------------- Myths about DID There are a lot of misconceptions about DID, therefore here are 5 myths and their explanation. 1. DID is rare As DID is quite unknown and can feel strange when you first hear about it, a lot of people think that DID has to be a rare disorder. However, about 1.1-1.5% of the population have DID! That's 1-2 people in a group of 100. (source 1 [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4959824/]) 2. DID makes people violent and dangerous Due to misrepresentations like the movie "Split", some people think that DID makes a person violent and dangerous. While some systems do have parts that are there to protect them, people with DID are not more prone to violence than people without DID. (source 2 [https://bpded.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40479-017-0053-9]) 3. DID is a personality disorder DID was previously called "multiple personality disorder" and this leads to people thinking that DID is a personality disorder. However, DID is a dissociative disorder which is a reaction to trauma, while personality disorders are characterised by fixed patterns of personality traits that make the person's life more challenging. (source 3 [https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/dissociative-identity-disorder/did-myths/]) 4. DID is the same as schizophrenia People with DID and people with schizophrenia both experience voices in their heads, therefore some people think it's the same or related. However, in people with DID, the voices come from other alters, which are real, fully-formed personalities and parts of the system. In people with schizophrenia, the voices come from delusions and hallucinations. Therefore, it's not the same and not connected. (source 3 [https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/dissociative-identity-disorder/did-myths/]) 5. It is obvious when a person has DID As DID causes a person to have different personalities, a lot of people think that it's obvious when a person has it. However, DID is formed to protect the person. Therefore, a lot of systems are covert which means that the different parts are hidden from the outside. This can for example be done, when the host, the personality that's out the most, isn't even aware of the other alters, or when alters pretend to be the host so that other people don't recognize the switch.  ------------------------- Posts about DID The trauma support writing team has already written a few posts about DID. Here they are: * What are subsystems and how can they co-exist in harmony - Barltik2065 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/WhataresubsystemsandhowcantheycoexistinharmonyBarltik2065_302352/] * The different types of alters and how they developed - a personal experience [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/Thedifferenttypesofaltersandhowtheydevelopedapersonalexperience_302497/] * List of YouTube Channels for People with DID/OSDD-1 or those who want to learn about it - HealingTalk, Teacup8809, alex428 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaSupport_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/ListofYouTubeChannelsforPeoplewithDIDOSDD1orthosewhowanttolearnaboutitHealingTalkTeacup8809alex428_302956/?post=3251355] * Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): Myths vs Truth - SunsetShone [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/DissociativeIdentityDisorderDIDMythsvsTruthSunsetShone_303376/] * Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Case Study - starryCandy6123 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/General_2433/DissociativeIdentityDisorderACaseStudyStarryCandy6123_323123/] * The Positive Sides of DID - Barltik2065 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/ThePositiveSidesofDIDBarltik2065_302171/] * How to develop a relationship with alters and communicate with them - Teacup8809 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/HowtodeveloparelationshipwithaltersandcommunicatewiththemTeacup8809_302259/] * My Personal Story - WorkingitThrough2 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/MyPersonalStoryWorkingitThrough2_302888/] ------------------------- Questions for you To spread awareness about DID, feel free to answer the following questions in the comments: 1. Do you have DID or know someone with DID? 2. What is a myth about DID that I haven't mentioned? 3. What do you want to know about DID?

Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Case Study - StarryCandy6123
Trauma Support / by audienta
Last post
February 9th
...See more Hello everyone, A while ago, someone asked if we could make a post about a case study of someone with DID. When looking for one, starryCandy6123 and me realized, that a lot of them are about violent people with DID. While it makes some kind of sense that case studies focus on these kinds of cases, I want to emphasize that a dissociative disorder doesn't make a person more prone to violence than a person without such a disorder (source [https://bpded.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40479-017-0053-9]). Now, here's the case study about a person with DID, @starryCandy6123 has prepared for us. Please leave your thoughts on the topic and appreciation for Candy in the comments. ------------------------- Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Case Study - StarryCandy6123 Diagnosis of DID 300.14 Dissociative Identity Disorder Diagnostic Criteria: 1. When there are more than two people or more, within the client (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self). 2. At least two of these identities or personality states recurrently take control of the person's behaviour. 3. Inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. 4. The blackouts are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behaviour during Alcohol intoxication) or a general medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).   Introduction This case study will discuss the life of a young woman who is believed to be suffering from DID also known as dissociative identity disorder. This illness is said to be the most understood misunderstood and controversial of all mental disorders. While it is said to be fascinating, it is tragic at the same time. The media has shown a deal of great interest, along with the sceptics, who do not believe.                     (Millon, Blaney, & Davis, 1999). The young lady we are talking about, has been recorded as having many (DID) symptoms that lead to her diagnosis.    The Client/Patient The client/patient in question is described as an 18-year-old female who came from Germany. She moved to the US, where she has been living for the past three years. Four years ago her mother died (the reason for her death, was not known. She was not close to her mother and did not spend a lot of time together, she spent more time around her grandparent's home, who raised her. She has no recorded history of any mental or medical conditions.)   When she came for an appointment, it was reported that she was undernourished and thin. She did pass out during the examination after her hand was placed in cold water. Everything else looked good such as her strength was good for her size. The client's exam was quite normal and the patient was able to answer questions. The client was brought in by her father and grandmother. Father and grandmother complained that she steal and tells lies. He accused her of stealing money and a knife from the teacher, which she denied. The client claimed that she found it, rather than stealing it. Father and grandmother also stated that she stole money for sweets. The client will often claim that another little girl stole and bought the candy. The father claimed that she did not act at the age of 18. He stated that she requested to be treated like the other little girl. She was heard to say "I'm a good girl now, ain't I? I don't steal anymore, do I?". The father also claimed that she would change her attitude. The client once claimed that she was whipped too much so she ran away, the father denied the claims, but he did when she went back home. They did not seem to believe that there was physical abuse taking place. It would appear that the client has not had an extremely stable childhood. Her mother and her father were not very involved in her life growing up, as she was predominantly raised by her grandmother. It sounds as if the client’s grandmother does not hold her in high regard, as the grandmother commented that the client was “a terrible little liar.” Such a statement may indicate the presence of emotional or psychological abuse. The client had a great interest in kids toys and sweets and she would steal to get them. The client appeared to show signs of immaturity as she would steal and call people names. The client talked at length about the time, she spent it with the other two kids. She claimed that he wanted to go into bushes with the other girl. The client claimed that she did not know what he meant, and that the other girl would not tell her. It was clear that he was talking to two different people. It appears as though the client switches from herself to "the other girl," about whom she was talking. The other girl then appears to be talking about the "client."  She seemed to, be arguing with her two personalities.   Furthermore, the client appeared undernourished at the time of the interview. This may be evidence of neglect and/or abuse at home. However, under normal circumstances, one would expect an 18-year-old to be capable of attaining nourishment for herself by whatever means necessary (perhaps her alternate identities are stealing for this very reason), though the client’s circumstances appear to be by no means normal. The client’s undernourished appearance could be the result of an eating disorder, which co-occurs with DID at a very high rate (Maxmen & Ward, 1995).  Link to full case study [https://bpded.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40479-017-0053-9] ------------------------- This post was written by a member of the Trauma Sub-Community Writing Team. You can find a masterpost with all the posts of this team linked here.
