    Ivy Insights

    The System Speak: Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) podcast is a truly transformative and healing experience. As a therapist with a trauma history, listening to this podcast has had a profound impact on both my personal healing journey and my work with clients. The vulnerability and authenticity of Emma and her system have touched me deeply, and I am filled with gratitude for the love and knowledge they share.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the way it combines personal experiences with expert interviews and research. Emma's lived experience as someone with DID, along with her clinical expertise, creates a comprehensive and well-rounded perspective on trauma and dissociation. The episodes are filled with wisdom, raw moments, and meaningful discussions that shed light on various aspects of trauma, consciousness, parenting, coping, and more. The storytelling format in some episodes adds an extra layer of depth and connection.

    Another wonderful aspect of this podcast is the sense of community it fosters. Through sharing their own experiences and inviting guests to share their insights, Emma and her system create a space where listeners can feel seen, understood, and supported. This podcast has helped shift the narrative around dissociative disorders by providing education, validation, and hope for those who may be struggling or seeking understanding.

    While it is challenging to find any negative aspects of this podcast, one possible drawback could be that some episodes may trigger strong emotions or memories for individuals who have experienced trauma or dissociation themselves. However, Emma provides trigger warnings at the beginning of relevant episodes to give listeners time to prepare or choose whether they want to listen.

    In conclusion, The System Speak: Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) podcast is an absolute game-changer in the field of mental health. It offers a unique combination of personal stories, expert interviews, research-based information, and a strong sense of community support. Whether you are a therapist seeking to enhance your skills or someone navigating your own healing journey, this podcast will provide valuable insights and comfort. The impact of Emma and her system's work is truly groundbreaking, and I am immensely grateful for the love and knowledge they have shared with the world.

    We talk with ISSTD clinician Valerie Sinason (UK) about "infantacidal attachment".The "still face experiment" video on YouTube is HERE.The poem we referenced, which we wrote in 2020:In the last week,I watched my 5 year-old daughter's butterflies be born.They came home with usfor quarantine,a gift of hope and peacewhile she herself is dying,while my children miss their friendsand watch their sister fade away.The caterpillars crawledin the grimeas they learned to spin,then hung themselvesfrom the top of the cup.I know the feeling.The metaphor did not escape me,this therapeutic processof freezewhere transformation is required -quarantinedin a glass househanging by a threadnothing the same as it was.Before the chrysalisthere was a shedding of skinI recognized as a shedding of me.For all I have learned the last four yearsabout integration,I thought the debate was betweenbrowniesand fruit salad,as if I would get to choose my last meal.But all of it was grime.So I pretended to grow wingswhile you locked me away.I wrapped myself in dissociationlike a cocoon of worlds inside.I never invited you in here.No one warned me how sticky it was.I watched their backbone start to formlike scalesthat fell awaylike therapytalking away.Therapy was taking away my dissociationwhile I fought to lock myself in it.If you have any heart at all,you want to reach outto reach into touchto help them free the hardened shell.But you cannot.Because that wriggling workis what makes them strongis what sets them freeis what makes meMe.And I knowhow cold and lonely it is in there,in here,where I am,where no one goesno one seesno one knows.You promise wings.You promise freedom.You promise flying free.But all I rememberis the grime.And all I knowis the crawling through filth.And all I seeis that I have hung myself herevulnerablyto be stared atand gawked atand not touchedwhile I am frozenand coldand hanging herenot who I wasand not yet free.You say no parts left behindor lostor abandoned.But I see my shell laying therewhere I once crawled.And these wingsstill stickydon't feel like mine.And I can't yet fly.You flick at my netto show me that I canlike a bird pushing its baby out of the nestand it hurts mebetrays mestings mescares me.Except you don't push too hardand I feel you waitwhile I don't want to leave.I would rather hang myselftherewhere being frozenhas always kept me safe.I am uncomfortablewith so many changesand didn't knowI would come outlooking so differentthan how I crawled in.I cling to the netbecause you taught me how to be grounded.And I have always knownhow to shelter-in-place.I can see the outside worldwhere everyone else lives,but I don't at all likeyou sending me awayto go live there.Because I do not know how to live.I know how to crawl.I know how to hang.It makes me angry at you(even though I am not)when you try to send me awayfrom the place where I hungaway from where my shadow still staysaway from where my shell lies.I don't know if you understandthat still feels like meand the cocoon still feels saferand the sun is still too bright for my eyes.I am drying out my wingsand saying goodbyewhile you unzip my worldto shoo me outso I can flybecause you sayI was meant for the sky.But all I rememberis the grimeand how to crawl.And I don't understandwhy you don't understandthat I don't actually know how to fly.But what I do knowmore than you know I knowis that there is no going backand that I am relievedto have the sticky washed off of me.(I know, I know.You never said I had to leave.But I can't stay herelooking at the shell of me.)Emma Sunshaw, May 2020You can JOIN THE COMMUNITY HERE.  We have peer support check-in groups, an art group, a lego group, movie groups, and social events.  Additional zoom groups are optional, but only available by joining the groups.

    We share an update from therapy, about learning how memory time and now time connect through re-enactments… and start looking at Memory Time where the pain is.Note:  This therapy session happened three days after the last session where we did the four questions that helped me see how Memory Time invades Now Time.  I thought I was going in to my therapy session to talk about the hard conversations in Now Time, and my therapist helped me see roots of where Memory Time invades - which ultimately was a bridge that leads directly to the disorganized attachment pieces we will share starting next week.  Also, the song at the end of this episode was the LGBTQIA+ PRIDE theme last summer, because so many of us feel isolated from family and caregivers simply because of who we are.  It was fun and peppy, hiding the big feelings in the lyrics - like a song in drag.  I slowed it down and added the sad tone to emphasize congruence between music and lyrics.  It is not meant to be literal.  You can JOIN THE COMMUNITY HERE.  We have peer support check-in groups, an art group, a lego group, movie groups, and social events.  Additional zoom groups are optional, but only available by joining the groups.
