In this episode of Catrina’s Confessions, I talk honestly about growing up in the city in the 90s — a childhood marked by lack of supervision, unsafe environments, and experiences no child should have to carry.

I share parts of my story carefully and without graphic detail, including how early trauma shaped my nervous system and led to dissociation. I name my lived experience with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), not as a diagnosis lesson, but as a way of understanding survival.

This episode isn’t about shock or oversharing — it’s about context, compassion, and truth. I also read a journal entry from a protector part of me, offering the safety and reassurance that didn’t exist back then.

If you live with trauma, dissociation, or parts — or if you grew up having to be alert before you got to be a kid — this episode is for you.

Please listen at your own pace and take care of yourself while listening.
