Innerworlds are a therapeutic tool. It is widely used for many therapies and reasons, one of them being Dissociative Identity Disorder. Some people with DID (or OSDD) grew up with their innerworld. Others want to create one after a diagnosis or when they read about innerworlds. Your innerworld can be anything you want. Anything the mind can come up with can be realized and become reality in your innerworld. This means you can create a safe space inside, where you all can live and heal. We promise you, if you enhance your innerworld, make it safe and nice, your outside life will follow!
The innerworld as a safe space:
This safe space is something specific to you and your system. No two innerworlds are exactly the same. You can have fictional realms from books, tv shows, movies, etc. You can have all of the system live in one place or live in many places. Your innerworld may be small or large as it depends on the systems need. It’s always best to consult within the system to find what’s best for you.
Whether you already have an innerworld but want to make adjustments, or if you start from scratch, you can build your own innerworld. It might take some practise and there are different techniques to try out, including writing, meditation, art, lucid dreaming and self hypnosis. We created this video on how to build an innerworld with self hypnosis. There is NO hypnosis in the video! The idea is that it teaches you how to do it yourself or with/someone in your system.
And for those who know they have an inside world, but they cannot access it we want to explain that you can use the same techniques. Or if you can be co-conscious then you could try to hold someone’s hand inside, as they access the innerworld. I also want to say that just because you do not see it (yet) does not mean you are not already there.
Rather watch a longer and more in depth video about this topic?
You can watch our Do It Yourself self-hypnosis and innerworld video for the Plural Positivity World Conference right here on this page:
As always, we encourage you and your System to follow your own truth, to soul search, to find words, labels, visions, theories and communities that aren’t only within your values but also match your lived experience and/or long term goals, so that you might find belonging and don’t have to try to fit in.

some truly good info , Gladiola I observed this.
No wonder why we love Wizarding World. Especially Hogwarts.
I’m not fully sure how this is happening but is it possible for an innerworld to crumble or dissolve and all alter seemingly go dormant? It happened to us not too long ago and I’m very confused with the situation.
