Jaime lives in Central Florida where she works as a district Pre-K special education resource teacher. She also works part-time as an in-home early interventionist for special needs children aged birth to three.
In 2005, she was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) resulting from childhood trauma. Jaime searched for support only to find there were very limited resources available. Her efforts to find support for herself led her to seek out other survivors living with the disorder.
As she found others living with DID, she witnessed firsthand the challenges they shared and decided to shift her focus to help others, like herself, living with DID. In July of 2007, she started one of the only peer-led DID support groups in the country, which led to the creation of An Infinite Mind in January of 2008.
Her passion comes from the hope that people with DID can find the support and resources they need and will no longer fear the stigma surrounding the disorder.
In this episode Jaime shares her journey of founding An Infinite Mind and all it has to offer. Jaime opens up about her own personal journey with Dissociative Identities, from diagnosis through treatment to the collaborative system she enjoys today. A truly strength’s based view, this episode will inspire and motivate you, whether you have Dissociative Identities yourself or you are a provider who treats people with DI. It’s filled with practical ideas, tips, relatable experiences, passion and compassion.
