At any moment our world can change entirely.  One phone call, one second, one incident can shatter the reality that we've built for ourselves.  These occurences are sealed in our memories forever.  From that moment on, nothing is ever the same again. Your coffee tastes different, your pillow doesn't feel the same, even the sky seems to have a different hue. This is referred to in psychology as a "flash bulb" moment.  Join us as Priscilla shares the story surrounding one such defining moment in her life, and how everything in her world changed.

Have you ever felt like there are other people inside of you, scratching at the surface desperately wanting to get out? Wanting to be heard? Wanting to express themselves somehow? 
Feeling like we left some cards on the table in our last interview with Damien (and briefly Pink), we decided to dive deeper into the little known waters of Dissociative Identity Disorder. We meet a few more of Damien's alters, including the Gatekeeper (who's all business), and the Host (who's ALL fun).  Listen as the different alters answer questions about living day to day with DID, the roles they each play and the difficulties that they face. Join us as we peek into the fascinating, and yet heartbreaking, world of DID.

In this episode, we dive deep into the unusual mental health condition known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID. Often colloquially referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder, the diagnosis of DID has at times been controversial among some mental health professionals. This will change as understanding of this condition develops, but there is no question that the symptoms are real. We are honored to have our brave guest, “Protector System,” who has been diagnosed with DID, join us to share their powerful Survivor story with us. And an extra guest showed up unexpectedly for the interview! If you have ever had any questions or interest in learning more about DID, you don’t want to miss this episode.
