    40 min
  • Guest: Power to the Plurals
    The Stronghold System joins us as a guest to discuss the structural dissociation theory. They clarify the components that were borrowed for the model, rather than invented in this model, and gives credit to the original authors of ANP and EP classification, "parts" terminology, and the continuum of integration (rather than it being a continuum of dissociation). They discuss culture and community, and what can be learned from the disability, autism, and LGBT communities. Trigger warning for mention of abuse (no disclosures) and discussion of integration (in context of treatment options, including functional multiplicity). Please also see the follow-up episode next, "Clinical Response".

  • The Beginning of Grief

    Sasha processes what happened with JohnMark's "Nachos" episode, including recognizing grief both in now time (with therapist and friends), and in memory time (dead parents), and tries to remind us that now time is still safe - but it is not feeling like it.

She discusses why this matters, and why clinicians need to understand the perspective even if they disagree with it. She shares that the next episode following will be an interview with the Stronghold System about this article. Please also see the follow-up episode after that, "Clinical Response".

  • NTISS
    We give an update since the last episode, understanding that Now Time is still safe and our friends are still there even though we came home from our good weekend. We talk about some of the triggers in leaving, and recognize there is grief from the system as a whole realizing the parents are really dead. We process briefly what we are doing to care for ourselves and for our outside children, including rescuing a climber who went too high.
