The husband shares about watching Moon Knight, a Marvel comic series airing on Disney+ that centers around a character with DID.

PLEASE NOTE: Since recording this episode, we have discovered that the production team of Moon Knight did include script feedback from people in the DID community, as well as basing the adaption of DID traits on the book 'A Fractured Mind' with Robert Oxnam, who has been a podcast guest in a previous episode. We just wanted to be sure that information was also shared with this episode.

Eli Somer, a clinician in Israel, joins us to discuss dissociative absorption, reality shifting, and maladaptive daydreaming. He says the experience of non-traumagenic plurals is entirely valid, but also distinct from traumagenic DID. He says that final fusion or integration is not the only treatment goal, nor a decision for the therapist to make. He distinguishes the anthropological experience of multiplicity as a new phenomenon and a completely different thing than DID. He shares about his research, when intentional dissociation does become maladaptive or abnormal, and what clinical trends are happening globally.

She discusses helping parents co-regulation as part of empathic attunement. She shares about the increasing complexity of adolescent brains developing into adult brains, and how all of us have parts navigating identity through that process. She broadens the concept of body memories to include preverbal experiences later expressed as symptoms like under or over activation symptoms. She explains how all developmental trauma is relational trauma because it takes place in a caretaking relationship. She reframes self-harm as a protective strategy that “almost works”. She shares what it’s been like doing teletherapy with adolescents during the pandemic. She gives examples of repair after rupture.

Kelly McDaniel is back to tell us about her new book all about “Mother Hunger” after introducing the concept on our podcast in her first interview with us.

We share what we learned and experiences in recent ISSTD conferences. We open with the regional conference held in Kentucky with Robert Muller, who presented about slowing down therapy and how grounding is meant for dysregulation (not safety issues in therapy or the therapeutic relationship). We explore the meaning of plurality and our own struggle with identity. We share what we learned about the incongruence between the external and internal experience of the same events and interactions.
