Back from the Abyss: Psychiatry in Stories

Is DID real? Parts, alters, exiles, and what's allowed in the therapeutic space


Listen Later

Dr. H sits down with Jade Miller, a peer support specialist and advocate for public education about DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). In the first part of this episode, Jade shares her story and how she came to understand that the puzzling gaps and often frightening incongruities in her life were caused by her rotating through a number of dissociated identities or alters, initially protecting her… but eventually leaving her powerless to stop repeated traumatization.  Jade and Dr. H then talk shop about DID and Jade challenges some of Dr. H's long held beliefs.
