In this episode, Dr. K explores the intersection of psychiatry and spirituality to answer the profound question of whether individuals with multiple personalities share a single soul. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, neuroscience, and yogic philosophy, he explains how severe trauma can shatter the psyche. He argues that the resulting dissociation is a desperate attempt by the mind to protect a person's vital spark of aliveness from an overwhelming tsunami of negativity. What to expect in this episode: The Consensus on the Soul: An exploration of how various traditions define the soul not as a religious concept, but as the central witnessing and experiencing force that exists beyond the ordinary mind. The Pokemon Trainer Analogy: A look at how a healthy person manages different aspects of their personality like connected "Pokemon," whereas in Dissociative Identity Disorder, the unifying "trainer" is lost and personalities switch without coordination. The Siege of Helm's Deep: A breakdown of how overwhelming childhood trauma forces the mind to wall off its "vital spark" of joy and innocence to protect it from annihilation. Depersonalization vs. Derealization: Understanding the difference between feeling like an "empty shell" with no internal self and feeling like the outside world is trapped behind a "glass wall" or fog. Avatars of the Ultra-Real: Why individuals who have been heavily traumatized often develop an uncanny capacity for mystical experiences and access to a non-ordinary reality that better-adapted people cannot perceive. The Brain Bisection Debate: Exploring neuroscience experiments where severing the connection between brain hemispheres creates two independent consciousnesses, challenging the idea of a single, transcendent soul. The "Dark Side" of Spirituality: Why internal protectors can sometimes turn into malevolent persecutors or "demons" that resist the healing process in psychotherapy. Standing in the Spaces: A technical look at how healing involves moving from defensive switching to the capacity to feel like oneself while being many, maintaining continuity across all aspects of life. Rewiring the Narrative: Practical insights on using autonomic rewiring and identity formation to help the mind handle high emotional energy without fracturing.

Depersonalization, a dissociative psychological syndrome, can be incredibly destabilising. It often takes years for sufferers to identify it. Characterised by altered self-perception, individuals may feel dead, detached, or anaesthetised. They might not recognize themselves in the mirror and struggle to distinguish between reality and a dream. According to Stanford University School of Medicine, this rare phenomenon affects only 2% of the global population. This unsettling experience leads to significant anguish, anxiety, and existential questions. How does depersonalization affect daily life? Is it troubling? Is stress or anxiety the main cause of depersonalization? What should you do if you experience these symptoms? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What does it mean to say the world is fundamentally open for play - and why does it take something to even have to say it at all? In this episode - the third and final in a live-recorded three-part series with Ethan Hsieh, Taylor Barratt, and John Vervaeke - the conversation centers on Ethan as he unpacks the distinction between teaching and facilitation, the purpose of TIAMAT, and the deep personal why that drives his work. John maps the teacher/facilitator divide onto Aristotle's sophia and phronesis, while the group works through how theory and practice function as mutual correctives - each able to expose the other's blind spots. They examine phenomenological adequacy (how a theory can be causally sound yet fail to account for what's actually showing up in lived practice), the necessity of an ecology of practices over any single panacea, and why no closed overarching theory can substitute for genuine interdisciplinary dialogue. Ethan unpacks TIAMAT's purpose as psycho-education toward a good life - affording self-knowledge and heightened religiosity (bindedness to self, other, and world) without becoming a religion - and walks through the SPIRE framework (Service, Pilgrimage, Inquiry, Ritual, Enlightenment). The conversation deepens into the primordial nature of relationality, the actor training roots of TIAMAT, and Ethan's core conviction: that serious play - wrestling fully with what matters, using every faculty of one's being - is the most human way to stay genuinely coupled to a reality that always exceeds our grasp. The episode closes on joy: not pleasure, not comfort, but contact. Ethan Hsieh is the Director of Community Development and Partnerships at the Vervaeke Foundation. He comes from an acting background focused on character development. LinkedIn Taylor Barratt is the Director of Practice and Education at the Vervaeke Foundation. He has over a decade of experience in relational leadership through Authentic Relating Toronto.

Lily was a school psychologist for 12 years and served as the lead school psychologist in her district in Los Angeles. During that time, she also struggled deeply with anxiety, panic, and OCD.In 2018, Lily had a life-changing realization: she wasn't broken and nothing needed to be fixed. She had been innocently overcomplicating her experience. She discovered it was safe to think less, that thoughts don't need to be believed, and that feelings naturally settle on their own.In 2020, Lily began coaching and now helps people reconnect with the peace that already exists beneath anxious thinking. She works with individuals and groups and shares simple, lighthearted, and transformative teachings on mental wellbeing.In this episode, Lily shares about her mental health journey, her experience as a a school psychologist, and how anxiety impacted different areas of her life. We talk about experiences with driving anxiety, as well as examples of what derealization and depersonalization can look/feel like. We normalize how scary, isolating, and confusing it can feel when there's no understanding. In addition, we explore the role of patience, self-compassion, and learning to accept anxiety instead of constantly resisting or fighting it. If you've ever experienced driving anxiety, feelings of unreality, or the pressure to “fix” or "solve" anxiety quickly, we hope this conversation may help you feel less alone and offer a different perspective on moving forward.FOLLOW LILY:INSTA: @_peacefromwithinTIKOK: @peacefromwithinWEBSITE: www.peace-from-within.comSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Send a textDissociation is often misunderstood, but for many people it's a protective nervous-system strategy—a way the mind and body reduce overwhelm when something feels too much to stay present for. In this intro-level episode, we explore dissociation as a spectrum: from spacing out and going blank to numbness, unreality, time loss, and feeling detached from the body or emotions. Using simple polyvagal-informed language, we connect dissociation to shutdown protection, discuss common triggers (conflict, overwhelm, feeling trapped, sensory load), and outline what helps—especially gentle, body-first ways to return without shame. We close with a grounding practice using texture and temperature cues to support a soft “coming back.”In this episode, you'll learnA clear definition of dissociation and how it differs from ordinary distractionWhy dissociation is a protection strategy (not a character flaw)A polyvagal lens on dissociation as shutdown/freeze protectionCommon triggers: conflict, overwhelm, feeling trapped, sensory load, exhaustionHow dissociation can impact memory, relationships, and self-trust over timeWhat helps: gentle return, reduced stimulation, body-first orientation, naming without shame, building safetyA grounding practice designed specifically for dissociationGrounding practice (2–3 minutes): “Texture + Temperature Return”Touch a textured object (fabric, chair, sleeve)Name 3 qualities (smooth/rough/cool/warm)Notice one temperature cuePress feet into the floor (twice)Phrase: “I'm here now. I'm coming back gently.”Check the website for the free resources offered for both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's next: How Trauma Can Affect the BodySupport the show

Is the brain really the source of mind — or is consciousness something more deeply biological?In this conversation, Anna Ciaunica challenges neurocentrism and explores the idea that cognition may not begin with neurons at all. We examine neuroimmune coupling, pregnancy as a nested model of subjectivity, basal intelligence before brains, and the fragile embodied self revealed in depersonalization experiences.We also explore biological idealism, multiscale intelligence, and whether artificial systems can ever replicate the ontological structure of living organisms.Topics include:• Neurocentrism and its limits• Immune systems as fact-checkers for survival• Basal cognition before neurons• Pregnancy and nested subjectivity• The fragile embodied self• Depersonalization & active inference• Touch and self-other boundaries• Biological idealism explained• Ontological differences between AI and life• Multiscale intelligence and self-organizationThis episode moves from cells to selves to artificial systems — and asks whether experience might be more fundamental than we assume.TIMESTAMPS:(0:00) – Introduction & The Challenge to Brain-Centrism(4:33) – Philosophy's Role in Questioning Scientific Assumptions(8:47) – Neuroimmune Coupling & The Origins of Thought(14:56) – Pregnancy, Nested Systems & Cellular Perception(17:18) – Embodiment in Early Development(23:47) – Phenomenal vs Grounded Experience(29:46) – Fetal Sensory Processing & Early Cognition(36:20) – Layered Analogies for Cognition(40:09) – Basal Intelligence Before Neurons(46:24) – Soma-Sema Theory & Death Anxiety(51:23) – Birth, Death & Ontological Boundaries(55:25) – Depersonalization & The Fragile Self(1:03:39) – Cracks in Transparency & Self-Perception(1:10:50) – Touch, Interaction & Self-Other Boundaries(1:16:45) – The “No Body” Problem(1:21:08) – Brain ≠ Mind: The Neuroimmune Challenge(1:29:09) – Biological Idealism Explained(1:37:59) – AI vs Biological Ontology(1:46:43) – Hidden Assumptions in AI Discourse(2:00:05) – Final ThoughtsEPISODE LINKS:- Anna's Website: https://annaciaunica.fr/- Anna's X: https://x.com/AnnaCiaunica- Anna's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/annaciaunica.bsky.social- Anna's Publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ZUMz7EAAAAAJ&hl=en- From Cells to Selves: https://aeon.co/essays/why-you-need-your-whole-body-from-head-to-toes-to-think- When The Self Slips: https://aeon.co/essays/what-can-depersonalisation-disorder-say-about-the-selfCONNECT:- Website: https://mindbodysolution.org - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@MindBodySolution- Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

We'll explore why it happens, how modern life feeds it, and most importantly, how to find your way back to presence, clarity, and authenticity.This isn't about being “broken” — it's about understanding what your mind and soul are trying to tell you when reality starts to feel distant. Through self-awareness, mindfulness, and real talk about emotional overload, we'll uncover how to re-ground yourself and reconnect with what truly matters.Tune in, breathe deep, and remember — sometimes feeling detached is just the first step toward waking back up.The Be Positive Podcast is your weekly reminder that no matter what you're going through, there's always a reason to stay hopeful, stay focused, and stay positive. And now you'll be able to see me too. What a treat right? lol.

Depersonalization, a dissociative psychological syndrome, can be incredibly destabilising. It often takes years for sufferers to identify it. Characterised by altered self-perception, individuals may feel dead, detached, or anaesthetised. They might not recognize themselves in the mirror and struggle to distinguish between reality and a dream. According to Stanford University School of Medicine, this rare phenomenon affects only 2% of the global population. This unsettling experience leads to significant anguish, anxiety, and existential questions. How does depersonalization affect daily life? Is it troubling? Is stress or anxiety the main cause of depersonalization? What should you do if you experience these symptoms? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy explores burnout, Sabbath rest, and resilience—reframing rest as spiritual practice for individuals and communities.“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”On this episode, clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy (Fuller Seminary) joins Macie Bridge to discuss burnout, Sabbath, worship, mental health, and resilience in the life of the church. Defining burnout through its dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of accomplishment, Abernethy reflects on how church life can intensify these dynamics even as it seeks to heal them. Drawing from scripture, theology, psychology, and her own experience in the Black church and academic worlds, she reorients us to Sabbath as more than self-care: a sacred practice of being still before God. Sabbath, she argues, is not a quick fix but a preventive rhythm that sustains resilience in leaders and congregations alike. Along the way, she points to the necessity of modeling rest, the impact of daily and weekly spiritual rhythms, and the communal posture that makes Sabbath transformative.Episode Highlights“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”“Often people have overextended themselves in face of crises, other circumstances over a period of time, and it's just not really sustainable, frankly, for anyone.”“We act as if working hard and excessively is dutiful and really what the Lord wants—but that's not what He wants.”“When you are still with the Lord, you look different when you're active.”“Sabbath rest allows you to literally catch your own breath, but also then be able to see what the congregation needs.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThat Their Work Will Be a Joy, Kurt Frederickson & Cameron LeeHoward Thurman, Meditations of the HeartEmily Dickinson, “Some Keep the Sabbath” (Poetry Foundation)About Alexis AbernethyAlexis Abernethy is a clinical psychologist and professor in the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Podcast description:  In this episode of the anxiety guy podcast, we dive into a crucial aspect of healing anxiety that's often overlooked — release work. Many people focus on calming their nervous system without addressing the repressed emotions, stress, and tension that need to move out first. But true healing comes when we listen to our body, let go of trapped energy, and shift our nervous system into a state of true relaxation.

Our brain and nervous systems are incredibly protective—they can shield us from overwhelming stimuli by shutting out sensations. This mechanism plays a central role in depersonalization and derealization (DPDR), causing you to feel detached and like you are observing yourself from a distance. While these dissociative states can offer short-term protection, chronic experiences can lead to further dysregulation as unprocessed emotions accumulate. In today's episode, Elisabeth and Jennifer dive into DPDR, explaining its impact on the brain and nervous system. They discuss why our senses become muted, its protective role, and how it shows up in those with childhood trauma. Elisabeth and Jennifer also share their personal experiences and how they found safety in their bodies to process their emotions. While our brain and body protect us from overwhelming sensations, the stored experience remains within us. The journey to healing involves convincing our brain and body that it's safe to reconnect with these feelings, building internal capacity to do so. Simply understanding DPDR isn't enough; we must communicate with our nervous system to reclaim our sense of self. If you've experienced depersonalization and derealization and are seeking healing insights, don't miss this episode! Topics discussed in this episode: What is depersonalization and derealization (DPDR)? Why are our senses muted, yet still active, during DPDR? The connection between CPTSD and DPDR The high levels of dysregulation that occur with DPDR Co-regulation versus nervous system disconnection How derealization and depersonalization function as adaptive strategies Why healing DPDR requires working directly with the nervous system What happens when you finally start feeling again after DPDR How to cultivate a sense of safety around your internal signals The vagus nerve's role in healing DPDR and practical techniques to activate it Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

One of the perfect storms in the anxiety disorder world is the combination of existential related anxiety with the sensations/experiences of depersonalization and derealization. Unfortunately for many, this is a common combination and it can be so difficult to understand and address that it seemed an episode dedicated to this issue was in order.As you might expect, the overall message in this episode is that while this is a very scary combination that be difficult to accept without fighting or resisting, in the end having existentially based thoughts/fears alongside this common anxiety symptom (DP/DR) is safe. It really is OK - though difficult - to take an acceptance based approach in this situation too.The discussion touches on how anxiety can turn curiosity and wonder into dread, how an anxious mind will try very hard to answer un-answerable questions, and how DP/DR might seem to confirm the important/dangerous nature of existential thoughts and fears (but it really doesn't confirm anything except the fact that you are afraid and anxious).As usual, the guys share some of their own experience, add clinical experience and expertise, and sprinkle a dash of humor and a helping of kindness and understanding into the discussion.If you feel like DP/DR alongside existential anxiety is a deal breaker or show-stopper for you .... tune in.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we explore the hidden layers of The Catcher in the Rye with special guest William Ramsey. More than just a coming-of-age novel, this book has been linked to infamous assassins like Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley Jr., and Robert Bardo, raising questions about its deeper psychological and cultural impact. Ramsey delves into J.D. Salinger's intelligence background, the book's pervasive themes of hypnotism, depersonalization, and nihilism, and its possible connections to MKUltra mind control experiments. We examine how Catcher in the Rye may have been used as a psychological trigger, influencing individuals in ways far beyond literary appreciation. From Holden Caulfield's erratic thoughts to the novel's ties to Hollywood and subliminal messaging, this discussion uncovers unsettling aspects of a book widely distributed in public schools. Join us as we dissect the possibility of Catcher in the Rye as a tool of manipulation, exploring the blurred lines between fiction, psychological conditioning, and real-world events.FOLLOW WILLIAM RAMSEY:William Ramsey Investigates - Books, Documentaries, PodcastsJOIN THE PATREON FOR AD FREE EPISODES BEFORE THEY DROP AND BECOME PART OF THE GROWING COMMUNITY OF DANGEROUS RTRDs ON TELEGRAM:https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD:Nephilim Death Squad | ALL LINKSNephilimDSquad@Gmail.comX Community: Nephilim WatchTOPLOBSTA:(@TopLobsta) / X(@TopLobsta) / InstagramTopLobsta.com / MerchRAVEN: (@DavidLCorbo) / X(@ravenofnds) / InstagramWEBSITES:Nephilim Death Squad | Merchnephilimdeathsquad.com OUR SPONSORS:15% OFFRife Technology – Real Rife TechnologyPROMO CODE : NEPHILIM FOR 10% OFFParasiteMovie.com - Parasite Cleanse and Detox – Parasite MoviePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 10% OFFEmergency Survival Food, Seed, & Supplies | Heaven's Harvest – Heaven's Harvest StorePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 5% OFFBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.

Mr. Joe discusses a recent tragic event that occurred in his life. He then provided information on depersonalization and derealization disorder.

Ep. 116 In this episode, therapist Patrick Martin breaks down the complex topic of derealization and its implications for therapy.  

This week, we're joined by Rich Villodas, the Brooklyn-born lead pastor of New Life Fellowship and a key speaker for Emotionally Healthy Discipleship. Rich will be discussing how depersonalization, deception, and division are shaping our souls in a culture of contempt, how to honor people we don't respect, how to know if our souls are in danger, and the false images of God we often construct. Rich is a passionate advocate for emotional health and spiritual growth. He has a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life and to challenge them to live authentic, fulfilling lives. I'm excited to have him here for the conversation to share his insights and wisdom with us. It's a great conversation. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

And We're Back!!! In episode 543 of ADHD reWired, host Eric Tivers returns to mark a new beginning for the podcast. Eric focuses this episode on recognizing and overcoming burnout. After 10 years of weekly episodes, plus other stressors in business and life,  the pace became unsustainable, leading him to experience significant burnout. Eric elaborates on these elements of burnout, describing emotional exhaustion as a deep-seated fatigue that impacts life engagement, depersonalization as growing detachment and cynicism towards work, and diminished personal achievement as a sense of ineffectiveness despite efforts. He recounts personal struggles, including a divorce and other stressors that exacerbated his burnout. Eric discusses the importance of meaningful alone time to recharge, using his motorcycle trips as an example of finding mental clarity and rebalancing life. He also outlines changes in his coaching seasons to ensure sustainability. Additionally, Eric introduces a new offering for Adult Study Hall where he will be leading members through a 5-week guided workshop for planning your year beginning November 20th, 2024.  Learn more at - Plus sign up with our new annual plan and get 37% off your membership.

In this episode, we explore the emotional toll of burnout on healthcare professionals with Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist and Chief Wellness Officer at the University of Tennessee System. Burnout often manifests as depersonalization—a form of emotional detachment that shields clinicians from the relentless trauma they witness. Dr. Gold delves into how this protective mechanism can lead to emotional numbness, distancing healthcare workers from their patients and even themselves. We discuss the concept of alexithymia, where prolonged detachment causes clinicians to lose touch with their own emotions, making it challenging to process trauma or empathize with patients. Dr. Gold offers practical strategies for overcoming burnout, such as early intervention, therapy, setting emotional boundaries, and advocating for systemic change within healthcare institutions. Tune in to learn how reconnecting with the meaning behind their work can help clinicians rediscover a sense of purpose and resilience in their careers.

This week we are talking about depersonalization, derealization, otherwise known as dissociation. We will also discuss DID or dissociative identity disorder, how we can build our sense of self, if we can love therapy too much, and why we can feel awkward after disclosing our self injury. Finally, we will talk about whether or not we can be so damaged that no amount of therapy can help us. Ask Kati Anything ep.239 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Audience questions: 1. I struggle with persistent depersonalisation and derealisation. I tried a lot of things over the years (therapy, different mindfulness practices, temperature play, full body shakes, yoga, meditation, being aware of my body etc.) and nothing is working. I know it gets worse when I am overwhelmed or tired or hungry, but it's nearly happening 24/7 even if I am happy and relaxed and on holidays for example. It doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it gets really bad, I think when I also start panicking. Then I feel like I can't see properly and feel so far gone, that it feels super scary. I know dissociation is not scary and it's my body's way to protect me, but when it is so severe, it feels absolutely horrible. Do you have any tips for me? 01:14 2. I am a survivor of CSA and have CPTSD. I don't think I have DID however, why do I have different “voices” that come out at different times in ways I cannot control? My friends say I have 2 different “voices” one is higher pitched and small, and the other is deeper and more grown-up. Some things can for sure trigger it like feeling afraid or ashamed but it doesn't always trigger it. Sometimes I am... 17:26 3. How to build a sense of self when no sense (or only a weak sense) of self has ever existed. In this scenario there is no "rebuilding" of the self, because it never existed as a whole in the past. There's nothing to be rebuilt because it hasn't been built yet. Is there any relevant research that looks at outcomes for individuals who developed a sense of self for the very first time in adulthood... 21:57 4. I love therapy. I know it's supposed to be difficult and a lot of people are “scared” to work on themselves in therapy but I absolutely love it. My therapist told me I am very analytical and symptom focused, I constantly analyze every small behavior about myself and I can't seem to stop. I constantly need to make sense of everything. I also love the attention that she gives me and I love that she cares about me. I wish I could see her all day every day. Is it normal to love therapy this much? 25:41 5. I just recently told a friend about my self-harming and now I feel really awkward. I wanted to know, why do I feel so embarrassed when near this friend now? 30:59 6. I hope this makes sense to you. It is something I've been wondering about. Is it possible to be so severely damaged by your past that no matter how much therapy you got that you never really heal? Because after all the therapy I got I still have so many trigger points. Is it because I've been traumatized over and over? Is it because of all sorts of abuse over and over? Am I not supposed to get over it by now? 33:30 #podcast #psychology #katimorton PUBLISHED BOOKS Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? https://geni.us/sva4iUY ONLINE THERAPY While I do not currently offer online therapy, BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, online therapist: https://betterhelp.com/kati (enjoy 10% off your first month) SOCIAL YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/katimorton X https://twitter.com/KatiMorton TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@katimortonInstagram https://www.instagram.com/katimorton Patreon https://www.katimorton.com/kati-morton-patreon/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/katimorton1/ Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/katimorton1/ PARTNERSHIPS Linnea Toney linnea@underscoretalent.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/askkatianything/support

I wanted her to know I'm a person, not just a name on a paper..."   These are the words of Sharon Holmes, a breast cancer survivor who initially had a "normal" mammogram, but three months later discovered she had stage II breast cancer.  How is this possible?  Unfortunately, Sharon was not alone.Welcome to Episode 33 where we discuss the unbelievable case of Rachel Rapraeger, a mammography technician whose decisions and actions would negatively impact over 1000 women, including two women who likely died because their breast cancer wasn't caught soon enough.  Because Rachel saw the women who entrusted her with their care as a number, or a backlog of cases, rather than human beings, she didn't "fully consider the consequences" of her decisions and actions.  Depersonalization can kill and unfortunately, justice wasn't served for Rachel's Victims.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Real Nurses, Real Talk website: https://www.purposedrivenpx.com/real-nurses-real-talk-podcastInterest form to tell your story: https://form.jotform.com/230685346709060Be sure to connect with us on Instagram:@realnurses_pcSend questions, topic ideas, and/or comments to realnursespc@gmail.com.

In our journey of healing through mental health battles, many can find they are struggling to connect to their emotions and even to the world around them. Within my battles of obsessive-compulsive anxiety, I felt like I was watching the world live their lives, but I wasn't connect to it. The way I describe it, […]

“Fake it til you make it, “ Mark advised soon after rescuing me from the Wash DC human trafficking swamp. “Predators, abusers, and puppet-tears know exactly what signs of heightened suggestibility to look for. CIA and FBI are trained to look for those specific traits. Hell, even cult leaders are savvy to signs of heightened suggestibility resultant from abuse these ‘daze' so be aware of the signs they are looking for and fake it til you make it.”I do not know how I could have survived those first months and even years of healing from MK Ultra mind control had I not heeded Mark's wise advice. Today I see numerous survivors ignorantly displaying neon signs of abuse and ultimately being triggered back into abuse bases and under mind control.It is easy for survivors to recognize other survivors, telepathically, energetically and through physical signs. Those of us who have healed from within our selves to reclaim self control and inner peace need to alert other survivors to their signs of vulnerability so they, too, can ‘fake it til they make it'.Depersonalization results from extreme dissociation to the point victims do not consciously see themselves in a mirror. This results in displays of extreme appearance in a subconscious effort to assert pleas for help that victims struggling to become survivors cannot think to voice. Depersonalization can become so extreme from unspeakable trauma that victims lose their ability to feel or register pain anymore. Often this is displayed in excessive piercings and tattoos in sensitive areas. Subconscious displays of abuse can also double as asserted effort to offend or repel others when in fact it also invites more abuse from predators looking for those signs. My experience under MK Ultra mind control on a White House/Pentagon level included control of my appearance. How I walked, when I talked, and how I was dressed were all controlled through programming. I deprogrammed the program first, writing out detailed instruction of my programmers. I even heard their voices in my head saying, “walk this way” until I wrote it out. By activating the logic part of my brain through moving a pen, neuron pathways in my brain re-opened, freeing compartmentalized memory and allowing for my own natural physical expression of walking. My gait changed once and for all, never reverting back to programmed mannerisms. Mannerisms that are recognizable even in children include a fixed gaze on genital areas. This is often a defense mechanism of ‘sizing up' abuse that also reflects heightened sexuality obsession. In a silent plea for help, the fixed gaze may also be a pleading look at passerbys, into cars, or staring at the ground avoiding eye contact. Be mindful of your gaze, while understanding extended gaze without blinking indicates dissociation and ultimately vulnerability.Stun guns were commonly used for mind control back when I endured MK Ultra programming. Resultant stun gun electric prod ‘burns' were strategically left as indicators on strategic parts of my body as a signifier to those in the know what I was programmed to do. These stun gun burns turned into ‘beauty mark' moles signifying message delivery, oral sex, and more. I had those moles removed since they were a trigger to me and signifier to abusers. I did not have visible rose or monarch tattoos as many other MK Ultra victims did since my decorative signifiers were usually displayed in jewelry, which ultimately was easy to remove!Mark explained extreme hair design and color are reflective of depersonalization and heightened suggestibility, akin to a target painted on the highly suggestible. Additionally, severity of pulling back hair like a ninja in a desperate display of clearing 44x acuity peripheral vision as a subconscious defense mechanism can also signify extreme abuse.
