Have you ever asked yourself

what is my personality type and are you curious to why you react the way that you do your

Relationships drive the way that they do and maybe even that you have some preferences that you absolutely need to be in place

To be comfortable in specific situations. Well, if that's you and you're not sure of what your personality type is

I'm gonna ask you to stay with my video because today that's exactly what we are talking about specifically the myers-briggs personality

Testing and at the end of this video. I have a myers-briggs personality quiz for you to take it's coming your way right now

Well, hey y'all, welcome back to my channel if you've been here for a bit

If you are new I am super glad that you were here today

My name is Lauren and my channel is all about

Making Beauty easy for the girl who thinks that she can't

My hope today is that you will consider subscribing and hit that notification bell so that you can get alerts every single time

I upload new videos

which is every single Friday and now the fourth Tuesday of the month and the third Thursday of the month with that said

I'm really excited to dive into our first transform your mind Tuesday

And that is what today's video is and our topic is gonna be personality testing

And so you might be asking like Lauren why in the world are we talking about?

personality testing when your whole topic is going to be based upon transforming your mind and you know,

what if you're asking that it's a really valid question and there's a couple reasons why so specifically I want to talk about

Myers-briggs today if you've ever taken any personality test before there's tons out there I've taken the disk test and I've taken even some others

When I was like in the corporate world, but those tests really don't explain to you your internal wiring

They're really more for like work life

And what I want to do with personality testing is give you more of like a life life on why you're made up the way

that you are like

Relationally what careers are best for you. How you handle?

Conflict and why you might react in the ways that you do when things present themselves, are you afraid of conflict?

Do you embrace it all of those kinds of things and to be honest with you?

myers-briggs personality testing change everything for me because when I figured out who I

Was with that like how I was made and wired I was like wow

this is really just super revelational and I had so many lightbulb moments after I took this test and so I personally

Think that this is like the basis

For what you need to know about yourself in order for us to get into some really like heavy topics or meat potatoes on

This topic of doing something with transforming your mind when we're talking about

body image and self-image and insecurities and

Feeling worthy and hustling for your worth all of those things

I really think boiled down to I need to know who I am first

So I've written down some notes over here

And I've got my laptop out

Because I want to explain to you a little bit about myers-briggs if you're not familiar with it

and then what you can do actually is take the test because I've listed it down in the description box below and I've also given

You some resources and let me just say this. Some of the websites are a little old and clunky. They really need some updating

so they're not the prettiest things to look at but the information that you will learn especially once you know

Your type is so valuable that I think you'll really absolutely love that

And so I wanted to make sure that you had those resources and you didn't have to go hunting for that

After you left this video

So the first thing I want to talk about is why you need to know your personality type and this is so very important

I think the reason why I feel like this is so important why I kind of wanted to I got a shift on my couch

You guys sorry. Oh, I bumped it. I'm sorry about the camera

I

Think there's so many reasons why this is super important and I want to give you a few that I think you need to know

so the reason why I think this is so important is because myers-briggs really helped me to

Understand like the internals of how I am like how my preferences are for the world to work how my preferences are for

Relationships to work how my preferences are on like career fields? I think this is a common question that I hear all the time

I think a lot of people are not happy and their jobs, they don't love what they do

They you know, they really just you know

they live for the weekend that kind of thing and one of the first things I always think about when someone tells me that is

I always go

I

Wonder what their personality type is and if because of that they're in the wrong career field or they're in the right career field

But they're in the wrong job for what they want to do

So it's things like that that Myers really helped me to learn about myself and I was like wow

This is super empowering for me to know how I function

so the other reason is is that you actually will know yourself better like you're gonna have more of

You're gonna have more of an internal understanding of how you experience the world around you and I think this is so

Important to know because if you don't understand those things and you're constantly frustrated with yourself on how you react to certain situations

Maybe you're frustrated relationally and let's be really honest you're frustrated with yourself because you're not happy with who you are

Maybe the reason that starts from is because you don't even know how you're wired and how you're made in the first place

for you to even embrace things about you that are strengths and then for you to

Understand the weaknesses that you struggle with and figure out ways that are healthy to combat those things over time

So this is really why this is so important to me and why I kind of wanted to share that with you

So let me look at my notes and make sure and can't miss anything and then I want to talk about what the whole personality

Typing is if you haven't done myers-briggs, so just doing a brief overview here

Oh, the other thing I didn't mention is that this will also help you

This is a huge thing and we'll talk about this again as we continue to dive deeper into this topic

That is my ultimate goal

We're gonna talk about things like this creating better boundaries when I figured out myself and was like, oh wow

I have some unhealthy ways of relating to the world around me and people and there's toxic people in my life who I don't need

To be there and oh my gosh

like this helped me to even learn it was like the start of me learning how to even create better boundaries for myself so that

I can protect me so at the end of the day my goal and this is for you to be confident in yourself

For you to have exceptional relationships with people and for you to pursue your dreams because you were made for something incredible

You are fearfully and wonderfully made on top of that and there's a purpose and planning for your life

And if you're not sure of what that is

We kind of have to start at the basics before we can build into all of the big things that transform your mind

Tuesday is gonna be so that's why we're doing this today

So let's actually dive into the four letters that are gonna make up your personality type. So basically it goes like this

There's a there's the first one is you're either going to be an e or an I and Amy's

Extrovert and I means introvert if you're not familiar with it what those are let me just kind of briefly describe them

Extroverts are energized by people. They enjoy a variety of tasks a quick pace and are good at multitasking

Eyes are introverts. They often like working alone or in small groups

They prefer a more deliberate pace and like to focus on one task at a time

This one is typically one that most people go. Oh, I know exactly what I am. I will see this

I've had so many friends take this over the years and

Sometimes the results actually will surprise you and I'll let you know my personality type as we get to the end here and a few

Strengths and a few weaknesses. So you guys can kind of learn a little bit about me, too

The next letter is s or n and so s is a sensor

So sensors are realistic people who like to focus on the facts and details

They apply common sense and past experience to find practical solutions to problems and means you're an intuitive

So an intuitive prefers to focus on possibilities the big picture easily easy

You easily see patterns as well as you value innovation and you see creative solutions to solve problems

So those are s or N and I will say this. I'm an S

Personality and one of my weaknesses has been if I have had bad things happen to me in the past

Sometimes that's how I'll look at the future and I'll go oh man

But this happened and what if history repeats itself and I can tend to focus too much on how that past experience was

so that's kind of a weakness that I'm just sharing off the bat just because when I read that I was like

Oh, I do that. So that's one

The next letter is T or F

So thinker or feeler thinkers tend to make their decisions using logical analysis

Objectively way pros and cons and value honesty consistency and fairness and then feelers you guys are gonna be and I see you guys

I'm a feeler too feelers tend to be sensitive and cooperative and they decide based on their own personal values and how others will be

Affected by their actions. My husband and I are both deep feelers and this is really great in our relationship and it's also

An absolute disaster, so I'll kind of talk about that as we go - and the last letter is J or P

So if you're a J

You're a judge and don't freak out by that word that does not mean you sit just judging people

That is not what it means. I'm gonna talk about it

So judgers mean you tend to be organized and prepared you like to make and stick to plans and are most comfortable

Following most rules. I'm a J big hard J coming at you

Alright a P a perceiver is someone who perceives for I'm sorry perceivers prefer to keep their options open

They like to be able to act spontaneously

And they like to be flexible with making plans that life scares me. So if you're a P

Congratulations. I love you, but that life freaks me out and my husband of course is a P

so

those are the letters that you're gonna get and when you take this test you're going to get four letters and that's gonna actually give

you a personality type and then this is when your world is just gonna be like

Completely turned upside down and you'll be mind blown by the results because you're gonna go. Oh my gosh

I know all these things about me makes sense. So for me, I am an e I'm an extrovert. I am an S

I'm a sensor. I am a J a gender

Oh, no, wait a feeler first and then a J judger, so I'm an es f J

so the perfect person to describe a personality type when I started learning about myself I was like

I wonder what celebrities or EF Jays es f J's and there's a lot of them out there

but the one that stuck out with me was

Monica Geller's the character from friends is based off of an SF

Jey, and so that made me laugh and also feel pretty good about myself because I've been called Monica my whole life

I'm not as neurotic as she is or her character was but I am definitely a Monica personality

And so in saying that it's kind of funny because I started to go. Oh wow

Ok, that's why I do those things and it's like I said, my friends have called me that my whole life

So I have a very strong personality. I see life in black and white

There's not a lot of grey in my life. I have a very strong sense of right and wrong and

Left or right? It's black or white

It's this or that and my husband and I always joke about it because he's a lot of gray and I'm very black and white

Ok, so as an es FJ

I have some amazing strengths and then I have some really

Hard weaknesses that I have to work on and I wanted to share a couple strengths with you guys and then a couple of weaknesses

Because this is what you really need to embrace about yourself is that again?

You were created with an absolute plan and purpose the way that you're wired is not wrong

I don't care what personality type you are. You're not wired wrong

there is a

There's a reason that you are the way that you are and so my goal is to help you figure that part out today

So that going forward as we continue to dive into deeper topics on transform your mind Tuesday

You have a really good basis for who you are and you're comfortable

With that piece of yourself and so for me for many years

I was like man, I'm just so different than other people and you know, I can you know

one of the negative things that I had to learn to overcome is I used to be kind of a bulldog about everything and I

Still have very strong convictions

But I live life differently now than how I used to but I just thought me that's not you know

People just aren't wired like that or you know, I'm just I'm just I'm just kind of a mess

like I'm

you know so different and

Why do I think like this and why do I have to have same things a certain way for me to be happy or comfortable?

and when I took this test and realized like oh

There's nothing wrong with me

I was actually created this way and it does serve a purpose

And so that's the whole goal here today is that you kind of get comfortable with that?

So let me give you a couple of my strengths

So an ESS ESS?

J has a strong sense of right and wrong as I already mentioned

Easily empathizes with another person is able to share feelings with other people cares greatly about the welfare of others

Open honest and forthright about the way that they see things is some of my weaknesses

I are kind of as follows may be unable to

Acknowledge anything that goes against their certainty about the correct or right way to do things

That is something I have to work on all of the time. It's just in 8ly in me

like, you know, this is the way the world works is out to be and

I'm starch about it. And so I have to constantly work on that

and so what I've come to realize over the years is that I have my own my own like

Beliefs that, you know are our convictions for me

but where I'm at in my life now is like I have all of that but

So support the right for someone to figure that out for themselves and used to I was not like that

especially in my early 20s

I was just like no

It should be this way cuz now it is and I've definitely changed a lot but this test is what helped me go

Oh, that's a problem. That is seriously a problem

So one of the other ones is maybe unable to understand verbal logic and quickly cut off others explanations

I have done that too

So these are some of the things that I have to constantly think about and work on on a regular

Basis and I can remember a few years ago when I took this test

I was an unhealthy version of Annie sfj, all of these things that are weaknesses

They were my like go-to first response on everything and when I realized that I was like boo, this is not good

These are the things that need to change. These are the things that negatively impact my relationships

These are the things that negatively impact me as a person and I need to change and work on these things

so as I started to continue to kind of dive into

just learning more about myself and honestly for many years I

Saw a therapist and learned so much

I am NOT a psychology major by any form or fashion or stretch of the word but through counseling and learning about proper ways to

just perform new create new habits, and then that becomes my

my go-to response

I

Don't tend it like I read these now like I'm sitting here doing this on camera for the first time in a while like reading

This stuff going wow

I don't react that way anymore and I can remember a time when I used to and

so this is kind of the stuff that I'm looking to really empower you with and I wanted to start here today because I think

it is so very important to know your personality type and really

Understand the way that you function the way that you prefer to receive information

The way that you prefer to deal with things in the world and all of that. I think it's so vastly important

So here's my question for you. Once you take the test that's in the description box

I want to know what your personality type is

And the second thing I want to know is what surprised you the most like, what did you go?

Holy crap, that is totally need and then what thing do you kind of need to work on?

Like what's that thing that you go?

me and that really hit my heart and I see that I do that a lot and I really need to work on that because

It's not good for me, and it's not good for my relationships

So that is what I want to know down in the comments below

So I hope this video has been super intriguing for you today to go. Yeah, girl

I do not know what personality type and I need to know what it is because again as we dive deeper into this topic

I'm so excited about have so many great things coming for you guys over this year with transform your mind Tuesday

I really wanted to make sure that you have such a good sense of who you are and I'll probably refer back to this video

Several times just because if you don't know that if you don't have that basis

I really think it's gonna be tough to try and overcome some things because you're just gonna get frustrated with yourself

Because sometimes it's really hard especially with those weaknesses to go. Oh, man

Why is that always my first response, but then what's really great is you can see all of your strengths and you can go

Oh my gosh, these are amazing things about me and these are the things that I want to continue to develop

so with the resources that are below I think it's 16 personality types calm and then it's

personal

Personal, I don't know it's down. I'll bliss it below because I can't remember it off the top of my head

But basically when you click into these websites the one that's really clunky

You'll you'll see it as soon as you click on it

What I want you to do is click careers click relationships

and what you have to do is scroll down a little bit and actually select your

Personality type and then you can actually read about yourself

So make sure you do that because each one of those you'll see the portrait section and the portrait is gonna give you an overall

About your personality and then of course

You can learn about your career learn about your relationships if you are if you are married or you've got a boyfriend

Like figure out what they are - and see how your types relate to each other

Have them take this test because it'll help you in your relationship

It talks about how you're gonna raise kids

So if you've got kids and you want to know more about that, it's gonna talk about all those kinds of preferences

So really use those resources down below and let me know in the comments, of course

What was the most surprising thing or the most like? Oh my gosh

Yeah, that nailed it like all of those kinds of things. Let me know

I want to have conversation with you down in the comments

Alright, so if you enjoyed this video today

I want you to give this video a

Giant thumbs up because you know that it helps me out

So very much and of course if you haven't had a chance to subscribe to my channel, did I say that right?

I also do my show contour and converse on that platform

Which is a live makeup look that I create in real time with you and it's such a great way to just chill

Communicate we just sit back relax have a Coke and a smile and we do our thing on that platform

Emiliano Sala WhatsApp message reveals he was worried about plane before disappearance - Duration: 3:21.

 In a WhatsApp message, Sala expressed his concern over the jet before his take off from Nantes on Monday

 Sala had agreed a £15million transfer from Nantes to Cardiff over the weekend. He had taken the jet back to France to say goodbye to his team-mates

 The striker was then due back in Wales on Monday night but his plane went off radar over the English Channel

 And Rolan has revealed he has seen a message from one of Sala's friends. "I've already travelled several times on private flights in that type of aircraft, you always have that fear," Rolan told Uruguay station Radio 1010AM

 "One never expects that situation. "I received a message that Emiliano had sent to one of his friends in Argentina

EMILIANO SALA FEARED DEAD WITH PLANE MISSING "He told him he was afraid, that if they didn't find him he would already know what had happened

" A search and rescue effort to find Sala and the plane will start up again on Wednesday morning

 The search was called off when night fell around 5:30pm on Tuesday. Tributes have been laid outside Cardiff's stadium, although there is no confirmation on Sala's whereabouts as yet

 Thousands of supporters also gathered in Nantes on Tuesday night to show their support for the player

 Rolan went on to say: "As such, as I say, he predicted it as it happened. "What he expressed in that message was what happened and what is happening

 "I'm very shocked. I still do not believe it. "It was going to be an important step for him, he had a good contract in France, but not the platform of the player he is

 "He took the economic and sporting leap that was going to help him and his family a lot

 "There are few people who can speak ill of Emiliano. "A very hardworking person, very humble, always available

 "I still have faith that everything will be OK, both for him and his family and friends

"  Sala's father, Horacio said: "I don't know anything. I'm in Argentina. "I spoke to Emiliano on Sunday

 "Still nobody from Nantes has communicated with us, we are worried, desperate, this took us all by surprise

 "I don't have any information on the journey, the only thing I know is that it was a small plane

 "They are saying that the plane lost control in the channel. I don't know what could have happened

I am speechless."

What is the Sheepdog Mentality? | Do you have what it takes? - Duration: 6:09.

I'm not a sheep.

I'm not a dog.

So why do you keep calling us sheepdogs?

This is an email that I received from a viewer a few weeks ago

and I'm gonna talk about it right now.

What's up!

My name is Ryan and welcome to Tampa Carry.

If you're new to my channel,

consider subscribing.

We talk about

everything that has to do with guns

and concealed carry.

Make sure you hit that little bell icon,

so you'll be notified of any new videos.

So what is the sheepdog concept?

If you've been around guns,

or you've been you know in the military first responder type of

Field or around those kind of people.

You've probably heard of the sheepdog concept.

Now, it was an article that was written by a lieutenant colonel

in the army many years ago,

and he describes the three

types of people that are in our society.

So, number one, we have this sheep.

Now the Sheep are the people who are so oblivious.

Think about the sheep in a field.

So sheep walk around.

They kind of eat their food and

Sheep are kind of oblivious to the outside world.

If a violent attack ever occurred to the Sheep,

the sheep's really only option is to run away.

Now in society,

the Sheep are the people that believe

putting up a NO GUNS ALLOWED sign at their kids' school

is gonna stop the next mass shooting.

The Sheep are the people who are afraid of having armed law enforcement at a

Public place to stop and prevent a mass shooting or any type of violence.

So we get what the Sheep is.

Next, we have the wolves.

The want to steal, kill, and destroy us.

The wolves have zero empathy.

They don't care if you are a mother, a child , an elderly person.

They don't care.

They're coming after you

and their job is to hurt you.

And we have the sheepdogs.

I would consider myself a sheepdog.

And some of you may be sheepdogs, but it's not all of you.

A sheepdog's job in the flock is to do what?

It's to protect the Sheep with its life.

You know when I was a kid,

we lived in Oregon in a very rural area

and we had a lot of mountain lions, a lot of bears, and a lot of rattlesnakes.

We had big German Shepherds as I was growing up

and the goal of the German Shepherds,

we were told this as a very young age,

was to get bit by a rattlesnake before we did.

The goal of our dogs was if a mountain lion, you know

Confronted us on trail,

that our dogs would attack it

and the dogs would die

and the children would it be able to get home safely.

So, the sheepdogs job is to protect the Sheep with its life.

Now, are the Sheep thankful for this?

No, they're scared of the sheepdog.

They're scared of the sheepdog because this sheepdog looks like a wolf.

The sheepdog has a tendency of violence like the wolf does.

The sheepdog has sharp fangs like the wolf.

But the sheepdog -- remember the wolf has no empathy.

They don't care who they hurt.

Now, the sheepdog were okay with violence

as long as we're committing a violent act

against the people that deserve it, which are the wolves.

I'm not gonna feel bad that some wolf got killed.

Now, in society, the sheepdogs are typically the people who are drawn

to being a in the military

being a first responder,

and just concealed carry permit holders, like you and I.

Now, we know that our job is to defend and protect

the sheep that are in society.

Even though the sheep are the ones that say,

you shouldn't have a concealed carry permit.

You shouldn't be allowed to have a high-capacity magazine.

You should not be allowed to open carry your gun.

When in reality, I am the one who is willing to die to protect you,

the

person who is against guns and against everything that I believe in.

I challenge you guys to watch this amazing video by Nutnfancy.

If you don't know who nutnfancy is -- just enter it into YouTube.

So really, when I started

my journey of becoming a gun owner and becoming a concealed carry permit holder,

I started by watching his video on the sheepdog concept and you know what?

It really changed my life.

It changed everything about me.

I have realized now that my job is to defend and protect

the people that are around me

and that doesn't always mean protecting them from violence.

That means it's my job when somebody has broken down on the side of the road

to stop and help that individual.

I helped a elderly guy at the VA yesterday

who just really couldn't seem to remember anything.

He was at the VA all by himself.

Couldn't remember his address.

Couldn't remember his social security number.

So, I was able to kind of help him

That is my job, as a sheepdog,

while everybody else just stands around

and watches this old veteran struggle,

I got up, walked over to them

and helped them figure out his problem. '

That is a sheepdog.

I challenge you guys.

Get into the mindset.

Watch nutnfancy's video

and leave a comment below if you are a sheepdog

Or are you a sheep puppy and you're still kind of in development a little bit?

Until next time, stay safe.

What Is al-Shabaab And Why Kenya Attacks? - Duration: 5:04.

The overnight attack on a hotel complex in Nairobi, from 15 to 16 January 2019, which

left 14 dead, was quickly claimed by the Islamic extremist group al-Shabaab.

Al-Shabaab has targeted Kenya, with several devastating assaults in recent years, leaving

hundreds dead.

Here is a comprehensive look, at the group, which has been called the deadliest in Africa.

WHAT IS AL-SHABAAB?

Al-Shabaab, meaning, "the youth", in Arabic, emerged in neighboring Somalia more than a

decade ago, as the chaotic Horn of Africa country was deep in warlord-led fighting.

The extremist group, linked to al-Qaeda, has been fighting to establish an Islamic state

in Somalia, based on Shariah law.

Its members are mostly Somalis, but include many foreign fighters.

Recently al-Shabaab has fought a splinter group of fighters, who have claimed allegiance

to the Islamic State organization.

Al-Shabaab is fighting Somalia's fragile central government, which is supported by a multi-national

African Union force, which expects to pull out in the next few years, and leave security

to Somalia's military.

The extremists once controlled large parts of Somalia, including most of Mogadishu, the

capital, but a concerted effort by the AU and Somali forces, in 2015, pushed al-Shabaab

out of most urban centers.

The group still operates in large swathes of rural Somalia, and mounts violent suicide

attacks on high-profile targets, such as hotels and checkpoints in Mogadishu.

Al-Shabaab is blamed for Somalia's deadliest attack, a massive truck bomb in Mogadishu

in 2017, which killed well over 500 people.

WHY DOES AL-SHABAAB ATTACK KENYA?

Al-Shabaab has vowed retribution, after neighboring Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011, to

battle the extremists.

The Kenyans' deployment came, after al-Shabab kidnapped tourists in Kenya's popular Lamu

resort area, on the Indian Ocean near the Somali border, a blow to the lucrative tourist

industry.

Tuesday's violence came, three years to the day after al-Shabab attacked a Kenyan military

base in Somalia, killing scores of people.

Al-Shabab has staged several attacks inside Kenya, including the 2013 attack on Nairobi's

Westgate Mall, in which 67 people were killed, and the 2015 attack on Garissa University,

in which 147 people, mostly students, were killed.

The extremists have also targeted schools and bus transport, near the porous border

with Somalia, at times singling out Christians.

This latest attack occurred a short distance from Westgate Mall, and again appeared to

target wealthy Kenyans and expatriates.

ARE US AIRSTRIKES WEAKENING AL-SHABAAB?

Shortly, after US President Donald Trump took office in early 2017, he vowed to step up

military action against al-Shabaab.

Last year, the US carried out nearly 50 airstrikes, some targeting top extremist leaders.

The airstrikes may pressure al-Shabaab to stay on the move, but the extremists are still

able to renew their ranks.

Al-Shabab continues to operate in rural areas across Somalia, enriching itself with a widespread

system of "taxation" on travelers and cargo.

It now competes with the new IS-linked fighters in extorting Somali businesses.

The latest Nairobi attack used, "almost identical tactics", to al-Shabaab's frequent attacks

on hotels in Mogadishu.

The airstrikes hamper the group, but have not "seriously degraded al-Shabaab's capability

to mount strikes either inside, or outside Somalia.

Airstrikes alone cannot defeat the extremists, and must be combined with more ground-based

attacks, as well as a non-military campaign to win over residents of extremist-held areas.

Thanks for watching.

'Many Sides of Jane': What is Dissociative Identity Disorder? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:43.

'Many Sides of Jane': What is Dissociative Identity Disorder? | Heavy.com

A&E's new series Many Sides of Jane follows a 28-year-old mother of two named Jane Hart who was recently diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Hart agreed to let cameras document her life and follow her journey with DID, which many people often misunderstand and confuse.

According to the network, "Diagnosed only three years ago, [Hart] is on a journey to understand what caused her DID as well as figure out how she can best co-exist with her many 'parts.' Throughout the series, Jane will be coming to terms with past abuses that occurred during her childhood and her relationship with her family under the watchful care of her clinical psychologist.

This is a raw, unfiltered look at an extraordinary young woman who is learning how to live her life again with a rare, commonly misunderstood, disorder known as Dissociative Identity Disorder.".

Jane's more than nine identities range from 6-28 years old and can appear at any time, disrupting her life and making it hard to live normally.

But what actually is DID?. What is DID?.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (aka the DSM-5), DID, previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and "relatively enduring personality states." Symptoms and criteria for diagnosis include the existence of two or more distinct identities and accompanying changes in behavior, memory and thinking as a result; gaps in memory about everyday events, personal information and/or past traumatic events; and a disruption in functioning caused by significant distress or problems in social or occupational areas of functioning.

Associated conditions often include borderline personality disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, substance misuse disorder, self-harm, or anxiety.

DID is a complex psychological condition that is likely caused by many factors, including severe childhood trauma and/or repetitive physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.

The different identities, commonly referred to as "alters," can have their own age, sex, or race.

Different postures, gestures, and ways of talking are also possible.

The alters can even take the form of imaginary people or animals.

When a personality takes control over an individual's behavior and thoughts, it's known as "switching." Switching can take seconds or it can take days; when under hypnosis, the person's different alters may even respond to a therapist's requests.

       . How is the Disorder Treated?.

According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), treatment typically involves psychotherapy.

The APA writes, "The goal of therapy is to help integrate the different elements of identity.

Therapy may be intense and difficult as it involves remembering and coping with past traumatic experiences.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are two commonly used types of therapy.

Hypnosis has also been found to be helpful in treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder.".

While there are no medications to directly treat Dissociative Identity Disorder, medication may be helpful in treating related conditions or symptoms (i.

, taking antidepressants to help treat symptoms of depression).

The premiere of Many Sides of Jane airs tonight, Tuesday, January 22nd at 10/9c.

How Meghan's favourite avocado snack is fuelling human rights abuses, drought and murder - Duration: 14:44.

The Duchess of Sussex has rightly been praised for making the fusty old Royal Family more socially and ethically aware

But that was until an old friend from her Hollywood days was invited round for a bite to eat and posted online a picture of what was widely assumed to be high tea

Pride of place went to avocado on toast —on silver platters, no less.'Still being the avocado toast whisperer, YUM!', trilled her guest, Daniel Martin

The celebrity make-up artist said it took him back to the days when he and Meghan Markle collaborated on her lifestyle blog, The Tig

'The consummate hostess,' he enthused.Well, perhaps not so much.The campaigning duchess may be passionate when it comes to racial equality and female empowerment, but for someone who wants to save the planet, she's committed something of a faux pas with avocados

For all their health benefits and tastiness, the fact is that rampant avocado production in the Third World has been linked with water shortages, human rights abuses, illegal deforestation, ecosystem destruction and general environmental devastation

It has proved so lucrative in Mexico that it has been dubbed 'green gold' and is even filling the coffers of brutal drug cartels

In her defence, the duchess is hardly the only celebrity who's extolled the wonders of avocados, which are full of vitamins, proteins and healthy fats

The lifeblood of the millennial generation — who can't stop posting pictures of avocado on toast on Instagram — this so-called 'super food' has been championed by everyone from nutritionists to Hollywood stars

The duchess revealed in her Grenfell cookbook that a green chilli and avocado dip was a favourite

Pop star Miley Cyrus went further with an avocado tattoo on her arm.Grown in Mexico for 9,000 years, the avocado has come a long way since the 16th century, when Spanish conquistadors disparagingly called it aguacate, after ahuacatl, Aztec for testicle

Between 2000 and 2015, avocado consumption in the U.S.tripled.In the UK, the avocado market is estimated to be worth around £200 million a year

But it has become a victim of its own popularity, prompting restaurants and cafes to remove it from menus over concerns about its environmental and social impact

The Wild Strawberry Cafe in Bucks substituted avocados, its most popular item, with garlic-sauteed mushrooms on toast

Its owner cited the 'demand on avocado farmers, pushing up prices to the point where there are even reports of Mexican drug cartels controlling lucrative exports'

Tincan Coffee in Bristol has replaced 'avo' with pea guacamole after they were judged not to 'fit' with it's 'core beliefs'

The Wildflower Restaurant in South London followed suit, citing the violence in Mexico

Its chef, Joseph Ryan, suggested the world may be entering a 'post-avocado era'.Haute cuisine has also jumped on board

In Ireland, the Michelin-starred chef JP McMahon has called them the 'blood diamonds of Mexico' and compared avocados to battery chickens

Where trendy restaurants and chefs go, the image-conscious supermarkets may not be far behind

The problems that come from the West's trendy fascination with avocados have a lot to do with geography

Some 40 per cent come from Mexico and almost all of that is grown in the rural western state of Michoacan

The region's fertile volcanic soil and temperate climate allow avocados to be harvested all year round (in other countries they can only be harvested in summer)

The rich soil means the notoriously thirsty avocado trees need only a third as much water as they do elsewhere

Mexico now makes more money exporting avocados than oil.Unfortunately, Michoacan is also home to some of Mexico's most violent cartels

They include La Familia Michoacana, whose leaders once tossed five rivals' heads on to the dance floor of a nightclub; their equally vicious rivals in the Knights Templar, a quasi-religious death cult; and Los Viagras, named for their leader's heavily moussed, erect hair

In Michoacan, the cartels now make more money from avocados than cannabis.Some drug criminals are becoming growers themselves, others simply terrorise the industry

Avocado farmers, who in Michoacan can easily earn more than £115,000 a year, a vast sum in Mexico, live in continual fear of kidnapping and extortion

The Knights Templar started charging a fee for every box of avocados gathered by farmers

They also extorted money from the fertiliser and pesticide retailers.Many farmers have been forced to hand over the title deeds to their farms

If they don't pay protection money, growers and packers risk being raped or killed, their bodies tied to avocado trees with warning notices attached

Some kidnapped farmers have been killed even after their families paid their ransom

A businessman whose family refused to pay up was chained to one of his trees and shot dead

Officials estimated the Knights Templar alone earn as much as £115 million a year from avocados

The cartel's 2014 kidnap, rape and murder of an avocado farmer's young daughter prompted the town of Tancitaro to drive out the Knights after a bloody battle

However, the cartels remain a menacing presence.Mexico's avocado industry is also accused of damaging the health of locals with the chemicals sprayed on the orchards

Experts are concerned that the fumigation of the trees is behind growing breathing and stomach problems, and may be polluting water supplies

Unscrupulous farmers are clearing land for avocado orchards, often illegally by cutting down oak and pine forests

The latter provide a crucial winter nesting ground for the imperilled Monarch butterfly

Indeed, a Mexican government study concluded that soaring avocado production has caused a loss of biodiversity, environmental pollution and soil erosion

It has also damaged the natural water cycle and threatened the survival of animal species only found in the area

Farmers exacerbate deforestation by using trees for avocado crates.We can't be certain where Meghan's avocados came from, but fashionable eaters who think they can safely switch to sourcing them from the Dominican Republic, Chile or Peru should think again

Wherever they come from, the thousands of miles any avocado has to travel to get to Britain means they leave a heavy carbon footprint

This is because they are perishable but cannot be frozen because it alters their texture

They must therefore be transported either by air or in air-conditioned container ships so they ripen at just the right moment

Their relatively heavy weight and bulky packaging to prevent bruising further ratchets up their carbon footprint

Two avocados have a footprint of 846g of CO2, compared to 160g for two bananas.The enormous amounts of water required to grow avocados is even more of an eco-issue in countries without Mexico's volcanic soil

It can take as much as 1,000 litres (220 gallons) to grow a single kilo (about three avocados)

The Chilean province of Petorca is suffering an acute water shortage thanks to 'green gold'

Water has been privatised in Chile (which specialises in the Hass variety so popular in the UK), meaning that those who pay — such as deep-pocketed big avocado growers — can use as much as they want

When activists complained after a 2012 aerial survey revealed 64 pipelines were diverting river water underground to irrigate the orchards, they received death threats

Local rivers have now dried up and supplies have to be trucked in for local people while the avocado farms rely on artificial reservoirs

Although the avocado is essentially a jungle plant, greedy growers are determined to cultivate it in dry, perennially sunny areas such as California, where orchards sap water from a state already prone to wildfires and drought

In Israel, avocado trees are irrigated with treated waste-water, prompting fears that harmful nano-particles are not only permanently damaging the soil but penetrating the fruit

The Chinese are being gripped by avocado mania, too, so demand is expected to keep soaring

But given the damaging cost of 'avocado fever', might it not be better to eat them more sparingly — and not, for example, serve them up on silver platters? Since Meghan's guest was invited to high tea, surely it should have been a case of let him eat cake

It's over for the Grizzlies. What now? - Duration: 6:26.

The Memphis Grizzlies gave it a good effort. After a depressing 2017-18 that started with a derailing Mike Conley injury, evolved into a job-killing spat between David Fizdale and Marc Gasol, and finished with a months-long tank job, the Grizzlies ran it back with a healthy and bolstered squad in 2018-19

Conley got back on the court, and the front office added Jaren Jackson Jr. from the NBA Draft, Garrett Temple via trade, and Kyle Anderson in free agency

It worked for a while. Gasol and Conley looked rejuvenated in October and November, having filled the court with grime amid a new offensive revolution

Memphis was 12-5 and even in first place in the West for a brief moment. But it's over now

Gasol has been pretty bad for a month, and Memphis doesn't have the juice to keep up in the brutal Western Conference

Related No urgency in Memphis After a 20-point loss to the Anthony Davis-less Pelicans at home on MLK Day, Memphis is 6

5 games out of the No. 8 seed, nine games below .500, and in solid 14th place in the West

Since beating the Blazers on Dec. 12, the Grizzlies have lost 17 of 20 games. The schedule has been pretty tough, but even when it's no, like Monday's home defeat, Memphis struggles

Since Dec. 13, the Grizzlies have the third worst net rating in the league, ahead of only the Cavaliers and Knicks

Memphis has the worst offense in that stretch by a solid margin, which is not a huge surprise because offense was never this team's calling card

But the defense has fallen apart under J.B. Bickerstaff too, with Memphis' resistance ranking No

18 over those 20 games after ranking No. 4 through the first 27 games of the season

If Memphis can't defend, it can't win. And for the last month, the Grizzlies haven't been getting near enough stops to make up for their moribund offense

So what now? Related The 'Grit 'N Grind' Grizzlies are over. Here were your favorite moments Gasol's gigante contract expires after the 2019-20 season unless he opts out of $26 million, which seems unwise

But given that cap space is at a premium for the 2019 free agency session, the big Spaniard might not be tradable until July, once some team with cap space and high expectations strikes out

Conley has an additional year beyond Gasol on his enormous contract, but he's three years younger without the burgeoning reputation for moodiness that Gasol carries

Could a desperate team like the Suns or Pistons make a play for Conley? What would Memphis want or expect in exchange for one of the best and most beloved players in franchise history? Would it be wiser to wait for the summer and see if whichever team lands Kevin Durant (assuming it's not the Warriors) needs a point guard? And whither Bickerstaff, who took over on an interim basis last season, finished the inglorious tank job successfully, and quickly got hired to coach what was expected internally to be a good team? Will the Memphis brain trust — whoever that includes these days, as it's tough to keep up with the vicious, volatile internal politics in Grizzlyland — trust Bickerstaff with an actual rebuild if the team goes that way? Will the team ever go that way? Related The difficulty of goodbye in Memphis The nightmare on Beale Street A sad state of the Grizzlies address The broken and bent Marc Gasol We hear so often that teams in small markets can't afford to strip it down bare and rebuild — the business model requires butts in seats, and people don't show up for 19-63 seasons

Here's the rub: people don't show up for 33-49 seasons either, and that's what Memphis is headed for (or worse)

The question is not whether 19-63 is more or less sustainable in a business sense than 33-49

It's how you get back to 41-41 and a playoff chase. You don't do it by tinkering with this team, unfortunately

Kyle Anderson, Jaren Jackson, and the shells of the once-glorious Mike Conley and Marc Gasol aren't going to do it

The revised draft lottery odds and the fact that the Grizzlies owe the Celtics their first-round pick make decision-making around this issue more urgent

Memphis must give Boston its 2019 pick unless it is in the top eight. Up through last season, the Grizzlies could have basically guaranteed they would keep their selection by finishing with the seventh-worst record, and would have had a 3-in-4 chance of keeping it by finishing with the eighth-worst record

But the odds have been smoothed out going into this lottery, which is bad news for Memphis

Under the new system, Memphis would need to finish with the fifth-worst record to have a nearly 100 percent probability of keeping its pick and the sixth-worst record to have a 96 percent probability of keeping it

Being the seventh-worst team would leave a 15 percent probability they'd lose the pick

Being the eighth worst would make it a 60-40 proposition. As of Jan. 22, Memphis is the sixth-worst team in the league

All told, being terrible is the best play for Memphis now. The Grizzlies need another blue chipper (and a good shot at a superstar) to build around

If losing Conley and Gasol help that, so be it. Where Memphis is now, though, is not where it ought to want to be
