ABSTRACT

A significant part of the journey through therapy for people has been wrestling with the spiritual aspects of abuse. This has meant facing the effects that satanic rituals had on the ability to hold a faith of any kind in adulthood. Survivors who have been through satanic rituals will find making this spiritual journey very hard. Severe attachment issues, lack of trust, fear of people generally and men especially, can be just some of the results of awful damage in childhood. All humans search for acceptance, love, and secure attachment. The difference between someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and someone without is that the connections between the beads are not there. Working with DID presents many challenges. The challenge of working with the spiritual aspect of all that has been survived is just as important as every other aspect.
