I'm so thrilled to welcome Dick Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), back to the podcast, as well as my friend Ocean, who brings her voice and lived experience to this important conversation. Today, we explore the intersection between IFS and the plural community--those living with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorders). What's the difference between DI parts and the IFS parts many of us talk about? How can we bridge misunderstandings between the IFS community and those living with more distinct parts?  This conversation was deeply moving and healing. I'm so grateful to both Dick and Ocean for their honesty, wisdom, and compassion. In this episode, we explore: The differences and overlap between DI parts and IFS parts Why the plural community has sometimes felt unseen and misunderstood by IFS The harm in labeling parts as managers, firefightes and exiles The complicated relationship many survivors have with Self Energy Strategies for working with systems shaped by deep trauma Why trust, patience, and honoring every part is a prerequisite to healing   Be sure to watch the extended video interview with Dick and Ocean over on our Substack.    Favorite Quotes: “IFS was never meant to pathologize people. It was meant to honor the fact that all of us are multiple, and that those parts aren't what they seem.” — Dick Schwartz "There's a huge difference between saying, 'Your parts are managers, firefighters, and exiles,' and saying, 'I'm noticing some of your parts seem to be taking on these roles to protect you.'" — Ocean    About Tiffany "Ocean" Morgan Tiffany Morgan (Ocean) is a Certified IFS therapist, consultant, and educator with lived experience of OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder).

"Eating disorders are dissociative by nature. It's very difficult to be connected to your feelings while you're engaging in eating disorder behaviors. So it makes a lot of sense that people develop eating disorders as a way of keeping themselves as “safe” as possible." In this special episode, Abbie is joined by the incredible Monica Ostroff, a therapist and eating disorders specialist, to explore Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and its overlooked intersection with eating disorders. They also have a deeper conversation about the relationship between trauma and disordered eating. Monika shares her personal journey, detailing her experiences with anorexia and trauma, and how these experiences shaped her professional path in the field of eating disorders.  Listen to hear more about: The misconceptions surrounding DID  Trauma-related origins of both DID and eating disorders Taking a strengths-based perspective in recovery Trauma-informed approaches to treatment The complex relationship between trauma, eating disorders, and self-compassion Understanding our internal voices Using inner world tools for healing  The protective nature of eating disorders What it means to be gentle in recovery Addressing the challenges of worthlessness Coping with societal pressures surrounding body image Why healing is really about connection How we can show up for ourselves with kindness and understanding So much more! About Monika: Monika Ostroff, LICSW, CEDS-S is the Executive Director of the Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association, Inc (MEDA). Prior to leading MEDA, she directed several residential, partial hospital and intensive outpatient eating disorder programs in addition to having owned a thriving private practice.  Monika is the co-author of Anorexia Nervosa: A Guide to Recovery and a contributing author to Self-Harm Behavior and Eating Disorders. With more than 25 years of experience in the field of eating disorders, Monika has presented at many national conferences, taught at the university level, and appeared on many media broadcasts, publications & podcasts.  Practicing from a trauma informed, social justice and staunchly HAES® aligned lens, Monika is a dedicated ally and strong advocate working to ensure access to equitable, compassionate, and affirming care for all.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized trafficking survivor and whistleblower, loving mother, brilliant writer and story-teller on Substack, mental health advocate, spiritual wellness connoisseur, conspiracy theory enthusiast, and my dear friend, Jessica KaitlinWhen I first met Jessica months and months ago, her sheer strength, light she embodied, and the fragments of her story she shared left me utterly amazed. Though she couldn't speak out publicly at first, our bond grew, leading me to anonymously feature her in two Substack articles, gently introducing her harrowing experiences in writing to the world. After months of deepening our friendship, I was profoundly moved when she messaged me, "I'm ready to share my story on your podcast!"Born into a legacy of pain, with both families marked by generations of incest and abuse, Jessica's life began under the shadow of trauma. Conceived from a teenage pregnancy within a family that perpetuated child trafficking, she faced molestation, grooming, and psychological torment from her earliest years. At four years old, after revealing abuse by an uncle, Jessica was removed from her father's home, yet the connection was never fully severed, leaving Jessica with a very fractured and poorly put together collaboration of Dissociative Identity Alters. Despite a mother dissociated from her own past abuse, and being forced onto the streets at 15, Jessica's spirit remained unbroken and she has been on a dedicated healing journey ever since.She embarked on a fierce journey of healing, diving deep into the realms of mental health, conspiracy theories, spiritual warfare, and healing practices. Today, Jessica stands as a passionate advocate, educating others on child sexual abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder, the dark mechanisms of evil, and the empowering truth of our divine heritage as children of a loving Creator. Her story is not just one of survival, but of transformation, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of light in the darkest of places.CONNECT WITH JESSICA: Substack: https://substack.com/@guidedhealingExclusive Article "Removing An Entity Placed During A Childhood Satanic Ritual": https://substack.com/home/post/p-159159376ARTICLES DONE WITH JESSICA ON EMMA'S SUBSTACK: 1.

From a Christian standpoint, they may never forgive a perpetrator, but self forgiveness for healing is absolutely essential, and it opens them up to receiving God's forgiveness. God has forgiven us, but sometimes we have to dare to forgive God for not being who we wanted God to be. Where was God in the midst of what I went through, right? Right. And that, and I told them, I said when we do this, when we use this prayer technique, that's the very first question I want you to ask him. And I want you to sit expecting an answer. And it's amazing. God, in all the years I've been using this model, God has never not shown up and has never not answered. Oh, that's powerful.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse & MK Ultra survivor and whistleblower, mother, spiritual coach, child abuse and trauma advocate and educator, entrepreneur and owner of Positive Shifting, and self directed learner, Caylen HartwellIn case you're new here or missed Caylen's first episode we aired a couple years ago, here is a short overview of what we discussed: Caylen - once known as Kathy Collins -  was born into the shadows of a multi-generational ritual abuse and incest family. Caylen, like so many brave voices on this show, grew up under the illusion of a "mostly normal" family. Beneath the surface, however, whispers of dysfunction lingered in her memory. But it wasn't until adulthood - sparked by an unexpected encounter with TMJ - that the floodgates of buried truths began bursting open. Life as she knew it would begin shattering, leading her to discover the truth about the other side of the double-life she lived growing up. What emerged after this breakdown was a courageous break-through of remembrance, healing, and empowerment. And through her transformative work with Positive Shifting, Caylen now lights the way for other survivors, offering education, coaching, and a roadmap to wholeness.Trauma is a universal thread woven into the fabric of every human life, varying only in its shades and intensities. Yet, how astonishing it is that this profound force remains shrouded in mystery - even to the most learned minds. Therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists, for instance, are rarely versed in the realities of Dissociative Identity Disorder or the chilling depths of satanic ritual abuse. Caylen stands as a fearless bridge across this chasm of ignorance, guiding everyone - from survivors of MK ULTRA to therapists, and even those wrestling with the everyday weight of being human - toward a path of turning pain and trauma into beauty and purpose. With wisdom and grace, she unravels the intricate layers of trauma embedded in our bodies and spirits, revealing pathways to healing that are as revolutionary as they are liberating.The last time Caylen was on, we discussed some of her upbringing, her remembrance of her memories, and dove deep into journey of healing and in becoming a professional healer. Today, we will be diving even deeper into Caylen's story, including digging in more to her family history, her life in ‘the program', UAPs, UFOs, aliens and their relationship to MK ULTRA, her journey to healing, and so much more.CONNECT WITH CAYLEN:Website: Spiritual Coaching | Positive Shifting | United States Instagram: Caylen Hartwell (@caylenhartwell) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: (2) Caylen (@CaylenHartwell) / TwitterCAYLEN'S RECOMMENDED LINKS:Dream Dictionary referenced in the interview:Dream Dictionary: Crisp, Tony: 9780760765357: Amazon.com: BooksITNJ Judicial Commission on Human Trafficking:Human Trafficking and Child Sex Abuse - Judicial Commission of Inquiry (itnj.org)Interview with Kristy Allen on SRA and MK Ultra:Kristy Allen ~ MK Ultra, SRA Survivor (ITNJ Seating) - YouTube(not all of the testimonies are available regrettably)CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:All links: https://direcSupport the show

We also talk about selves that were created to quote “like” sex, and we discuss flashbacks, body memories and switching. We talk about how we manage our sexual selves, including perceptions of feeling like a perpetrator. We go over the topic of consent, and we also talk about the feelings of guilt that come up for either wanting sex or not wanting sex when in a romantic relationship.

Brett Carollo & Thomas Millary of Psyop Cinema have returned to discuss the film Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). They joined us on episode 68 of Wake the Dead in 2022 to talk about Joker (2019). The first of many collaborations, we are very happy to welcome them back again for another installment of what they termed "The Joker Cycle". A feedback loop of programming, pushing lonely incels to embody chaos & immorality. This latest Joker film only confirms their sentiments about the first. Including many intricate connections to other Hollywood productions likeThe Band Wagon (1953) & Bucket of Blood (1959). Endlessly looping our attention into the mirror of Hollywood. Brett & Thomas explain the magic trick & why you hate this movie so much.We see many threads woven into this picture. An exoteric revelation of how childhood trauma causes Dissociative Identity Disorder and an esoteric revelation of the dynamics of demon possession. Different heads will see from different perspectives. Is Joker 2's ending a ritual killing of the incel audience or Arthur's escape from a gnostic prison for our souls? Is this film fine art or a psychological attack on its viewers for wanting 'ultra-violence'? Maybe all of the above...Find Psyop Cinema here: ⁠⁠https://psyop-cinema.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/psyop-cinema/id1584525928⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/CinemaPsyop⁠Decoding Culture foundation:https://decoding-culture.com/Cultural Engineering Studies magazine:https://decoding-culture.com/magazine-home/Please donate to Sean McCann⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann/donate/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BTC (bitcoin) address: 3Ptmi463Pu6HH1duop7rCKaxBriQkb4ina⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wakethedead⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/seanmccannabis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Wake the Dead's store!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wakethedead.creator-spring.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Sean McCann on X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/SeanWakeTheDead⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Wake the Dead telegram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/wakethedeadpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Wake the Dead guilded server:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.guilded.gg/i/kJWaQzmp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The episode delves into how individuals with DID experience distinct identity states, often as a response to trauma.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, struggled with trauma, or wanted a real, unfiltered look at living with CPTSD, DID, and BPD, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/victor-janzenIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, I had the honor of sitting down with Victor Janzen, a mental health and addictions community reforms advocate, to talk about his experiences living with Complex PTSD (CPTSD), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Victor's story isn't just about diagnoses—it's about survival, resilience, and the raw reality of navigating life with mental illness.We kicked things off with a bit of humor, as Victor shared about his life in Ontario, Canada, his career as a project manager, and his love for reading. He talked about his shift from fiction to non-fiction, particularly his obsession with understanding the mental health industry—not just as a patient, but as someone who's seen firsthand how it's structured more as a business model than a system designed to help people.Victor opened up about living with DID, explaining that he has 17 distinct personalities, each with its own role and characteristics. Some identities protect him, while others—like Harris and The Beast—can be destructive. He described how his early childhood trauma, starting at just four years old, caused his brain to fragment, creating these identities as a means of survival. He also touched on the eerie experience of reading poetry written by one of his alters, The Poet, often seeing words and ideas that he doesn't consciously remember writing.One of the most intense parts of the conversation was Victor's explanation of his nightly experiences—two-hour episodes where his brain essentially “rewires” itself, forcing him to relive past trauma in vivid, painful detail. He described it as the complete “atomization of self,” where he loses all sense of reality and has to re-teach himself basic motor functions like walking and balancing once it's over. Despite the overwhelming nature of these experiences, he has learned to approach them with a sense of dark humor, knowing that fear only fuels the fire.We also talked about the mental health system, both in Canada and the U.S., and Victor didn't hold back. He described the system as flawed, dismissive, and, at times, outright abusive. His personal battles within the system—from being institutionalized to fighting for his own medical records—highlight the lack of true patient advocacy and care.Victor also shared his experiences with different therapeutic approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Equine-Assisted Therapy. He praised DBT for being developed by someone with lived experience, but warned that prolonged exposure therapy is not for the faint of heart. His work with horses, however, has been a game-changer, helping him regulate his nervous system and develop a deeper understanding of emotional energy.Through it all, Victor remains brutally honest about his struggles, his lack of trust in the system, and his belief that there's no “fix” for mental illness—only the ability to understand and manage it. His goal? To keep fighting, keep learning, and help others in the process.This conversation was real, raw, and one you don't want to miss.

Life comes with it's wins and losses. During rough times, it can be hard to find the will to carry on. Join Nancy as she discusses how we can use our past to move forward. Our first caller Elle, is wondering how to balance a close friendship while maintaining a professional relationship in the workplace. Nancy advises her to start practicing awareness when it comes to talking about work outside of the office in order to circulate the conversation to other topics. By setting intentions on what you want to discuss, you are creating a space that holds boundaries. Tune in to discover how being aware of your actions can guide you to drive conversations to many different places. Our inspirational guest, Rebecca Chandler was able to move her life forward through facing her past. At 5 years old, Rebecca was getting abused by her grandfather. She would dissociate in order to cope with the abuse. Rebecca traveled from city to city never letting herself get comfortable. At 47, she endured a surgery that resulted in a complete failure of her physical and mental health. She traveled to London and got diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder. This helped validate her feelings and experiences growing up. Tune in to discover how Rebecca got empowered and pushed through to healing. It can be hard to find the motivation to keep going. Through the trials and tribulations that life brings, it is important to remember that there is always sunshine after the storm. Knowing you are in control of your own life is the secret to living full out.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/living-full-out-show--1474350/support.

[Content Warning]: Child sexual abuse, suicidal ideationToday, Jan is joined by Amber ‘Astra' Louise Ainsworth, author, poet, and advocate for those suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Amber is here to share their journey of self-discovery and managing DID. She discusses the chaos in her mind before recognizing her different identities and the challenges of processing trauma from her past.

Amber also touches on Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and how it affects her life, emphasizing the need for understanding and support in mental health. Jan and Astra explore the complex journey of healing from trauma, particularly in the context of DID. They discuss the importance of preparation for healing, the role of writing and creativity in processing trauma, and the ongoing struggle with depression. Astra highlights the significance of community support, the multifaceted nature of trauma, and the power of humor in healing. Through their experiences, they emphasize that healing is a continuous journey rather than a destination, and they share insights on how to navigate the challenges of trauma recovery.

Drew and Garden System talk about how in the beginning a system feels separated from each other, even feeling like enemies. There often is difficulty in listening to selves, because it is hard to learn and believe what parts hold and about trauma that occurred. They talk about how they developed relationships within their systems, navigating selves with different values, beliefs and behaviors. Drew and Garden System share personal stories about improving relationships by building trust, figuring out what is important to different selves, compromising and coming together as systems. Also covered is the often necessary topic of adult selves looking after and reparenting younger or little selves. The episode concludes that offering gratitude to your selves for all the strengths they bring to your system as a whole helps all of yous feel appreciated and loved. Your relationship with all of your selves will ultimately help yous heal.

If you like Renegade Files, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it. (It helps new listeners find the show.) Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 76, Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation. Like all Renegade Files Podcast content, this episode is for entertainment only. This episode explores topics of mental health and disorder, but it is in no way medical advice or even expert opinion. Enjoy.  At a certain level, we all have variations of our personalities, and these develop over time as a way to relate to and interact with others in society. We may be proper and generally quiet at work, animated and provocative among our friends, and distant and disengaged around our family. And we may shift across a number of identities throughout our days. A parent in the morning, an accountant from 9 to 5, and a skydiver on the weekends.  For most of us what we do may change, but who we are, has a relative and agreed upon consistency. But for a very small percentage of the general population the foundational reality of self is something else, something fluid, retreating, or fully disjointed and fractured. This experience is known as dissociation and it can manifest across a spectrum of levels that ranges from a perceived detachment from nature or the environment, to a complete Dissociative Identity Disorder where more than one personality occupies a person's awareness, and each point of comprehension is separated by blackout gaps of memory, knowledge, and influence. Much like so many things we have explored here on Renegade Files, the ins and outs of this topic go very deep, and the multifaceted realities of the subject, may not align with the concepts and explanations that we, as a society, have been led to believe over the years. Was the phenomenon of Multiple Personalities as we know it created more by the entertainment industry, than the clinical fields of psychology? Has the legal system incentivized repressed memories? And are their fractured Alters and Multiples living dormant in each of us, awaiting the perfect moment to step forth, and control the world we have built for them? Come with me now, and together we will explore such questions, and more, as we dive deep into the fascinating subject of Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles  Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/  Get Help Now—Emergency Mental Health Resources If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

We have no intention to defame or harm any individual, brand, product, country, or profession mentioned in this video. Our aim is to provide information to help the audience make informed decisions. In this gripping second episode featuring Dr. Virinchi Sharma, the podcast delves into the complex psychological and societal issues shaping our modern world. Dr. Sharma brings his expertise to the forefront, dissecting topics that range from addiction and overstimulation to relationships and family dynamics. Through real-life examples, scientific explanations, and actionable insights, he sheds light on challenges many of us face yet rarely discuss openly. Relationships and breakups form another cornerstone of the discussion. Dr. Sharma unpacks the psychological and physiological toll of heartbreak, likening the pain to physical wounds. By examining the rise of modern-day phenomena like “situationships” and the fear of commitment, he provides valuable insights for navigating the complexities of contemporary relationships. A recurring theme is the importance of self-awareness and communication, which serve as the foundation for lasting, meaningful connections. The podcast also addresses the unique challenges faced by women throughout different stages of life, from puberty to menopause. Dr. Sharma explains how hormonal fluctuations, societal pressures, and significant life transitions impact women's mental health. He touches on issues like postpartum emotional challenges, underdiagnosed conditions like ADHD and autism in girls, and the invisible burdens mothers often carry. This segment is a poignant reminder of the need for greater awareness and support for women's mental well-being. Further, the episode explores lesser-known psychological disorders, such as Dissociative Identity Disorder and bipolar disorder, demystifying their symptoms and treatments. By sharing real-life cases and separating fact from fiction, Dr. Sharma breaks down stereotypes perpetuated by popular media. He also examines cultural beliefs, such as the supposed influence of the lunar cycle on behavior, offering a balanced perspective that merges science with tradition. This podcast episode is a comprehensive exploration of the psychological and societal challenges that define our times. From addictions and media consumption to family dynamics and health, Dr. Virinchi Sharma's insights bridge the gap between awareness and action. His balanced approach, combining real-life anecdotes with evidence-based advice, makes the content relatable and impactful. Whether you're grappling with personal issues, aiming to foster better relationships, or seeking to understand the world around you, this episode provides a roadmap for navigating life's complexities with clarity and confidence. .

Drew & Garden System have a friendly conversation with Jaime Pollack, founder of An Infinite Mind and the Healing Together conference for those with dissociative disorders, their supporters, and mental health clinicians. They talk about the power of community and how finding others with DID have positively impacted their healing journey. Jaime shares pertinent information about the Healing Together conference that is held each year in Orlando, Florida, with the next one coming up on February 14th - 16th 2025! You can register now by visiting https://www.aninfinitemind.org/healing-together-conference.Jaime Pollack lives in Central Florida where she works as a district Pre-K special education resource teacher. She also works part-time as an in-home early interventionist for special needs children aged birth to three. In 2005, she was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) resulting from childhood trauma. Jaime searched for support only to find there were very limited resources available. Her efforts to find support for herself led her to seek out other survivors living with the disorder. As she found others living with DID, she witnessed firsthand the challenges they shared and decided to shift her focus to help others, like herself, living with DID. Her passion to help others led to the creation of An Infinite Mind in January of 2008. Jaime spends her free time traveling with her husband, being out in nature, and snuggling her dog and 2 cats on the couch. If you enjoyed this episode please leave us a review!

In this incredible interview episode, Drew & Garden System dive into the therapeutic relationship with Kelly Caniglia, a Somatically focused Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL, a Clinical supervisor in both states as well as Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Kelly specializes in working with Dissociative Identity Disorder and the plural community. Kelly was first introduced to the DID community, in 2012, through advocacy work as a Clinical intern with An Infinite Mind, and international nonprofit focused on the education and advocacy for individuals living with DID. Immediately, Kelly knew this was the population she wanted to work with for the duration of her career. Since then, Kelly has remained involved with An Infinite Mind, serving as their Intern Coordinator, then added to the Board of Directors, and now as their Director of Marketing and Events. Professionally, Kelly focuses on clinical work with people living with systems through two DID focused group practices located in North Carolina. Kelly is a passionate advocate dedicated to continuing to educate and hopes to ultimately influence educational curriculums for up and coming mental health workers.If you enjoyed this episode please leave us a review!

This week Mike speaks with Louise; the second alter from the Doug Vincent System to appear on GCC, to explain how the alters within the system have used the MBTI Personality Test to better understand themselves and their roles. In more detail, Louise starts by speaking about her “awakening” within the system, before answering some questions from you (the lovely GCC audience) about DID, including alters “switching” control over the body. Louise then provides an in-depth explanation about what the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is, how it was created, what the letters actually mean and how their system utilizes it for the different alters.Mike also took the test and is a Protagonist (ENFJ-A), with the “Diplomat” role and his strategy is “People Mastery” – he explains his results in more detail and he & Louise discuss what they mean. Louise also prepared a quiz for Mike where he guesses which Star Wars and Marvel characters would have what type of MBTI personality – listen to the entire conversation to hear the results! To do the personality test yourself, completely for free, visit www.16personalities.com Louise mentioned the book Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type by Isabel Briggs Myers & Peter B. Myers.

Micah is a 23 year old female who has been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, where she has over 100 alters (what some people might think of as personalities, though this isn't the most accurate term). Nathan, her father, is a former Pastor. Micah was diagnosed in January 2019, which began a remarkable journey of understanding and healing. I wanted to have this conversation for at least three reasons. (1) I'm curious about lots of different things, especially kinds of people and experiences that I don't know much about. DID is certainly one of those areas. I'm bringing almost nothing to this table. (2) I'm particularly curious about minority experiences—people and stories and experiences that most people don't have. (3) I think there can be a lot of fear and misunderstanding, which can lead to stigmatization, around certain psychological conditions like DID—especially with movies like Split, which we'll get into. So, I hope this raw and honest conversation will help reduce the fear, misunderstanding, and indeed the stigma surrounding Dissociative Identity Disorder and other similar experiences.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Child sex trafficking, mind control and Satanic and Masonic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, devoted and loving husband, man of God, and an absolute inspiration: David, and his incredible wife and unsung hero: Carol! A little bit about David if you missed his interview on 50 Voices of Ritual Abuse: David was born into a multi-generational satanic family and from the time he was born, his life was dedicated to the cult where they spent years shattering his mind through trauma-based mind control, SRA, and other organized and sophisticated organized abuse methods. At the age of 3, David was already being forced to partake in rituals and soon after, he began being trafficked by the Freemasons and was sex trafficked to different countries, in underground tunnels, and even at the Vatican. David was eventually taken to the Tavistock Institute where part of him was programmed to be used to transfer information to places like the Vatican. In addition to being used as a sex slave and a courier, David was also programmed for the New World Order (like many other survivors on this podcast), and remembers being forced to attend adrenochrome parties and human hunting events. In 2014, David began disclosing to his wife, Carol, that he remembers being sexually abused as a child. And then in 2021, a divine intervention occurred which led Carol and David to stumble on and discover some new terminology which led them to discover that David had Dissociative Identity Disorder and that he was a satanic ritual abuse survivor. Although David's testimony is harrowing, horrifying and gut-wrenching, his life on the other side of healing is not. Working together, David and Carol have worked tirelessly on integrating his identities and dismantling his programming.Some topics that David and Carol will be discussing on today's episode are rituals and programming, how programming affects faith in God and the Bible, how different identities are created, the importance of integrating identities, cult targeting and accessing, the crazy reality that the cult even go so far as to access a non-cult spouse/partner of a survivor - and that the survivor may be expected to sacrifice their non cult partner… and so much more. Through David's testimony, you will find yourself marveling in awe at the incredible miracle it is that he is seated in front of us today after what he went through and overcame. David is a living testament of how the darkness has no choice but to cower in the face of light and it's a great honor we get to hear him speak today. So, please put away whatever you are doing, grab a pen and paper, and give this brave warrior and his incredible wife your full attention as we take a deep dive into some important topics today!

A man is laying face first, unconscious in his living room. Alyssa and Vanessa are standing over him. Alyssa reaches for the zip ties and binds his ankles together, three zip ties thick. Vanessa on the other hand is terrified. She's screaming in her head to ‘STOP! This needs to stop! It's taking things too far!' But the words won't come out; the only thing she can do is wait for a moment when Alyssa looks away—then Vanessa dives for the scissors. She cuts the zip ties off his ankles. “NO!” Alyssa forces Vanessa aside and reties his ankles and his wrists. Vanessa lost her chance. She can only watch helplessly as Alyssa yields a massive hunting knife and sends it plunging into the man's neck. Then she begins sawing—back and forth. They watch the blood soak into the carpet. Police would later find the victim, Harold Sasko, and announce that his suspected killer was a 19 year old girl named Sarah. However this episode is NOT Harold's story. Neither Alyssa's, nor Vanessa's. This is the case of Sarah McLinn, diagnosed with DID, and the many, many people who believe she should be free.
