Turn your collective life around with minimal help
The Kinhost.org mission is "encouraging internal community".
Discover progressive ideas on improving internal relationships for plural systems (aka dissociative identity "disorder", multiple personality "disorder", Partial-DID, OSDD/DDNOS, and more…), trauma & abuse survivors, and people living with C-PTSD and PTSD. To get started with self-help & selves-help resources see Self-Help Indexes (in progress) New
This website is a group collaboration by & for plurals & multiples, and their supporters, friends & family. While most content nowadays is by The Crisses, Kinhost.org has always been a community wiki project and accepts comments, submissions, contributions and collaborations, whether anonymous or attributed. Trusted folk can request password access to the site, or a SubSite of their own on the site New.

Mini Multiple Manifesto!
Let's bypass making the situation worse before it gets better, skip twiddling our thumbs for years based on therapies that are inhumane and when you think about it make absolutely no sense. We can leave our past in the past, cut years off our recovery, live our collective life, trust in ourselves, love ourselves, and make the absolute best of our situation. We must refuse to hold out on having sanity until the “good doctor” can see us again!
Come get a taste of the Manifesto!

Many folk with DID and other forms of plurality struggle with internal emotional issues such as leaking depression and generalized anxiety between system members, emotional flashbacks from traumaholders, flooding (uncontrolled flashbacks, aka trigger cascades) and spoon exhaustion that goes along with constantly being overrun by other system members' emotions. Emotional regulation issues are also part of the Complex PTSD/complex trauma symptom package.

"Rebels" in the United Front paradigm by Crisses are the system folk who are either lone wolves or act in concert against the current fronting group. This can include what people call internal persecutors, or people with whom you have broken trust and had a falling out or fight, but may also include folk who are simply stuck residents and don't know any better because they're stuck in PTSD. - Main: Claims There Is No Research On Endogenics New - January 14, 2022
