  • Max
    Max, is a 50 year old complex trauma survivor on a journey of healing.  Their abuse is layered, touching on important topics about science, culture, mental illness, stigmas, and especially the toxicity of religion. They tell the story of their childhood, including Max's cisterself Jill; an alternate identity. They explain their identity split, why Jill took the primary role, their survival coping mechanisms, and what happened to Jill. Their story is twisted and gnarly, tunneling deep into the roots of Mormonism and Christianity in America, and breaking apart the myths to reach into the marrow.  Why, are we here?  What is agency?  Who, is in control? Don't listen if you are not prepared to be altered; this one will change you.
