Anger brings up that sensation instead of wanting to collapse you want to act on it. Just because people wanted you to sit by and do nothing and that's what you were programmed to do. To be still and be whatever there comes a time when you can have a voice, you can be heard, you can move, you can do things.
Imagine having not just one, but 13 different personalities coexisting within you. That's the reality for Molly, a patient living with dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon bring back Molly to introduce us to some of her other 'parts'.
These personalities, each with their own unique traits, stories, and even accents, offer a glimpse into the multifaceted world of DID. Previously, Molly and her therapist Dr. Caitlin Fang discussed the basics of living with DID. Now, it's time to hear directly from the personalities themselves. Meet Alex, Ruby, and Slayer, who share their perspectives on what it's like to be part of Molly's internal community.
From handling anger to finding moments of peace, these parts reveal how they work together in a complex yet supportive system. This episode isn't just about understanding DID; it's about empathy and human connection. By listening to Molly and her parts, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the resilience and adaptability required to navigate life with multiple personalities.
Whether you're familiar with DID or new to the topic, this conversation offers valuable insights into the lived experience of those managing this condition. So, if you're curious about the inner workings of DID or simply want to hear a compelling human story, tune in to this episode. It's an eye-opening journey into a world where one person can truly be many.
