Professional Topic Consulting on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, OSDD, DDNOS, MPD, Plurality in general) for journalists, psychologists, researchers, therapists, writers, directors, screenwriters, news anchors, etc.
What type of consulting services do you offer?
We are available for consulting and group workshops, courses, or classes for professionals who need to speak to a plural or peer (someone with the mental health "disorder" in question). We are diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (since 1986), very knowledgable about the subject matter of dissociative identity disorder and related issues for many applications, for example those listed below (but of course many others):

- Vacation coverage boot-camps or 1:1 coaching for clients

- How to modify your own language or behavior to be less harmful or disempowering toward your client
- See also our 13-week training & certification program
Authors, Directors, Journalists
What is or is not a part of the subjective experiences of DID? What is it like "from the inside" and what does it "look like on the outside" — we provide consultations for people researching the "experience of being…" for example for writers, playwrights, screenplays, actors, directors, journalists, and more including:
- What is it like to switch?
- How does it feel to have conversations or fights inside one's head?
- What are valid ways of describing experiences of dissociation from the inside?
- Critique written pieces for accuracy and tips on how to improve them (we have experience with developmental editing and assisting writers, see our http://eclectictech.net website)
News Reporters, Media
How do you cover DID et. al. with respect and dignity? We provide media topic expertise, editing, and consultation on the "etiquette of reporting on…" for bloggers, researchers, authors, reporters, news anchors, journalists, etc. including:
- Fact-checking and myth-busting for DID and related disorders
- Making sure you're not using harming, blaming language
- Screening for triggering language or features in your work
- Ensuring that you are giving fair and accurate coverage for interviewees or news stories
Researchers
How can research studies be more productive and useful for the population they're studying? We provide a peer partner for research teams to help with development of hypothesis and research methods, screening for controls, and useful outcomes that will help those receiving the benefits of said research. Some examples:
- Screening the hypothesis or question being researched, how it is framed, whether there's a more useful similar question/hypothesis
- Brainstorming on methods, tools, information, and the conclusions that may be drawn
- Reviewing questionnaires, surveys, and subject matter intended for our peer population
- Critique of papers before they're published for language, examples, conclusions, &c. - our peers can and do read industry research about us

We cannot guarantee that we're a good fit for your needs, and reserve the right to refer you out to another peer professional if necessary. This intake consult is a professional courtesy, please come prepared and be on time, emailing us prior to the consult with any background information is a good idea so that we are also prepared for the topic of the consult and already aware of your concerns. We will discuss how we can help with your topic at hand, how we can best work together, rates or a package deal, and timelines.
You may make an appointment for a free 30 minute intake consult, or contact us by email below the scheduler with your questions or topics and send us some times that we can talk about what you need, and we'll get back to you.

Contact the Crisses
Potential clients can contact us with the form below, by phone, text, or this scheduling form to schedule a 30-minute fully confidential sample session. During this appointment we determine what you are looking for, we deliver value and show you how we work, and hopefully we both get the information we need to determine whether we would like to pursue a coach-client relationship together.
If you'd simply like to ask questions to figure out what service(s) are right for you, here's a link for a purely informational session to determine what type(s) of services would be a good fit for you.
Please feel free to call and leave a message. If you do not reach us, please keep in mind that we often work with clients by phone and please leave a message so we can get back to you. We do not work by text/SMS messages, we will not book appointments by text message (often we don't get messages or notifications, which is really frustrating, so it may be days before we see that you texted us -- plus there's just too many text/SMS scams). You may find us on Signal, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/Xitter, etc.
