Dissociative identity disorder (DID), a condition formerly referred to as multiple personality disorder, is very rare almost everywhere in the world except for one place: Hollywood. Not among actual people there but among characters in movies that are often very over the top. So while you and I might know people with depression or anxiety, the only reference we have for people with DID are fictional characters.

We change that today. Dr. Shelley Kolton is an OB/GYN in Manhattan and the author of the book Brain Storm: A Life in Pieces. She tells us about how she came to finally get diagnosed later in life and how the condition developed as a means of coping with childhood trauma.

We also talk with Dr. Richard Schwartz, a family therapist behind the notion of internal family systems (IFS). He argues that we all have multiple personalities inside us, even if we don’t dissociate when they are active. Listening to those voices and communicating with them about what they want and what they’re trying to tell you, he says, can be extremely beneficial to your mental health.

Jess D finally came over to POD! To make up for lost time, we did two episodes this afternoon! The first: well, it was discarded... The second: pure gold... Tons of fun. Got to learn some neat new shit about Jess, got to hear some cool stories... The kind of S-Tier content you've come to expect from In / My Head. Listen while you do your Monday paperwork today! Then share with at least 100 of your closest friends and enemies.

What if you woke up and days or weeks went by.  You weren't in a coma and you're waiting for someone to tell you it's just a bad dream.  Ritchie has dissociative identity disorder and is in the process of learning about himself all over again.  It's a disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct  personality states.  He, bravely, wants people to understand him better as he gets to understand himself.  We definitely also have time to find out how much he loves Titanic as well:)

Oh, Curiosity Seekers.... this one is a puzzle.  There were many young girls  in the Victorian Era that were part of the phenomenon called the Fasting Girls, but one in particular was far above and beyond an enigma.  Let me tell you why in this episode. 

In this episode Joshua and Diego talk about various heroes and villains in fiction who have some sort of multiple personality, identity, or persona situation going on. This list gets quite interesting!

The guys also get into their reactions about the freshly-dropped trailer for the upcoming Venom: Let There Be Carnage film. The film is directed by Andy Serkis and it stars Tom Hardy, reprising his role as Eddie Brock and Venom, with Woody Harrelson bringing to life the murderous Cletus Cassidy, aka Carnage.

In this short episode clip, my recent guest Ben Iwisi unpacks why we should look at SA as a person. Then following that analogy,  we get to understand how South Africa suffered extreme levels Trauma and at times shows PTSD. 

We further talk about how South Africa does not want to go see a therapist and deal with its abusive past coupled with the fact that South Africa has multiple personalities.

We dive deeper to understand the consequences of this predicament, economically and socially and conclude with offering some direction on the topic by looking at how other countries have managed. 

I hope you enjoy this short episode clip.

Our guest, Rhonda Macken, tells her remarkable story—a testament to the power of human creativity and resilience in the face of unimaginable childhood trauma. Rhonda created a complex jigsaw of multiple personalities as protection against her harsh reality. Now in her 70s, and after years of intense psychotherapy, she's fully integrated and enjoying the love of her family.
