Resources for the Journey
-
It is very important to strengthen your fellowship with and knowledge of our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ through His word during the healing process. The process is excruciating for both the survivors and the support people in their lives, so it is imperative to keep a biblical perspective in front of our eyes. All of this is working for the Lord’s satisfaction, to give ourselves completely to Him, so that He can have a pure and spotless Bride.

There are a lot of perspectives on SRA/DID so it can be confusing to know what to follow in the healing process. The resources given here are from people who have worked in this field for many years, seeking the Lord every step of the way. These resources have all played an integral role in my healing process. We pray they will bless you as well.

This is a conference that Pastor Doug Riggs and Amanda Byes held in Hawaii to train pastors and leaders to help people who were SRA/DID.
Doug did put his disclaimer on dougriggs.org:
“Disclaimer: Though we can endorse our combined ministry with Kanaan Ministries over the last seven years, we cannot endorse their recent departure to utilizing New Age "scientific" techniques now employed by them which we believe to be detrimental to the healing process (see Deuteronomy 18:10-11).”
