Place the prunes into a medium heat-proof bowl. Cover them with hot water, plus an extra inch (2.5) of head room, and let them soak for about an hour. In the UK, brown sauce is a condiment that's used as a topping on chips, burgers, steaks, breakfasts, and other dishes. It's rich, tangy, spicy, and sweet, because steak sauces use dried fruit (such as dates or prunes), ketchup, and vinegar as the base. Drain the prunes and place them into a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add in all the other ingredients, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for between 30 and 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce is ready when it has the thickness of ketchup. To make this brown sauce suitable for vegetarians, omit the anchovies and substitute soy sauce for the Worcestershire sauce. When the sauce is ready, transfer it to a food processor or blender, or use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients into a smooth and thick sauce. Allow to cool to room temperature before using. To store, transfer the leftovers to a glass jar with an air-tight container and store it in the fridge. This sauce will last about one month in the fridge.

summary: Soak the prunes. Heat all the ingredients. Blend and cool before using.

Sufferers of DID have several distinct states of consciousness, known as alters. These states are aspects of themselves which are always present, but which manifest individually and during which the sufferer might not have any memory recall. The different alters may create disarray in your sense of self. You may be confused and you may feel like you don't know what you are doing or what may happen next. That could be very hazardous for yourself and others around you. Look for "switches" in personality. A "switch" is the term used for changing between alters. A person with DID will undergo switches on a relatively regular or consistent basis. The switch between personality states will take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours, and the time spent in an alternate state of consciousness will vary from person to person. Outsiders can sometimes determine when a switch has occurred based on the presence of: A change in the sound/timbre of voice. Rapid blinking, as if adjusting to light. A general change in demeanor or physical state. Changes in facial features or expression. Change in train of thought or conversation, without any warning or reason. In children, having imaginary playmates or other fantasy play is not indicative of having DID. Individuals who suffer from DID often experience drastic changes in affect (observable emotion), behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition (thoughts), and sensory-motor functioning. Individuals with DID may sometimes display dramatic changes in the topic of conversation or line of thought. Or they may also show a generalized inability to concentrate for long periods of time going "in and out" of conversation. Individuals with DID experience significant memory issues, including difficulty recalling everyday events, important personal information, or traumatic events. The types of memory issues associated with DID are not consistent with normal, everyday forgetfulness. Losing your keys or forgetting where you parked your car are not extreme enough. People with DID will have significant gaps in their memory such as not remembering an entire situation that occurred recently. DID is only diagnosed when the symptoms cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of daily functioning. Do your symptoms (different states, memory issues) cause you a lot of pain and suffering? Are you having substantial issues with school, work, or home-life because of your symptoms? Do your symptoms cause you to have difficulty in friendships and relationships with others?

summary: Analyze your sense of self. Notice extreme changes in affect and behavior. Identify memory issues. Monitor your distress levels.

It is not always necessary to use a therapist to treat phobias, but some people may feel more comfortable having a professional to guide them through different strategies. The most common methods for treating phobias are exposure therapy and cognitive therapy. Many therapists will be open to trying other methods such as social learning theory (modeling), biofeedback, and hypnotherapy. When it comes to deciding between self-administering and seeking a therapist, you should consider the severity of your phobia and your need for support. If your phobia is so severe that you have uncontrollable anxiety or panic attacks, or your fear keeps you from participating in activities such as office picnics or watching your son's baseball game, then you should have additional support. Hypnotherapy should not be attempted without professional guidance. Flooding is the process of exposing a person to the object of his or her phobia, in this case a wasp or bee, in a controlled environment. Since it may not be possible to safely expose yourself to a large amount of wasps and/or bees, a therapist might ask you to vividly imagine that bees and/or wasps are all around you. This is called imaginal exposure. Keep in mind that when you imagine the wasps and/or bees you will probably start to feel overwhelmed. When you are exposed to a stimulus long enough and nothing bad happens, you will eventually stop being anxious or afraid. Note that this can take hours, and in some cases multiple exposures. Be persistent and allow the fear to pass. There is no set amount of exposures that will cure a phobia. You may find that one exposure does the trick, or you may need many exposures to be completely at ease with wasps and bees. Either way, expose yourself as much or as little as you need.
summary: Discuss your fears with a therapist. Use imaginal exposure. Wait for the fear and anxiety to subside. Repeat the exposure as many times as needed.
