Having served over thirty years in the RUC / PSNI I was medically retired with CPTSD. Dissociative Identity Disorder also evolved in me as a residue of CPTSD. I wrote a novel, 'The Bitter End of Dreams', through which I hoped to reflect the experiences of working class folk caught in the grip of a sectarian conflict. I set my story in Belfast, but replaced the Judeo-Christian god with that of Mithras. I also gave Northern Ireland an extra county. Such counterfactual alterations opened up for ...

On the podcast, I delve into the world of multiple personalities. The condition is called Dissociative Identify Disorder (DID), and an estimated 1.5% of the people in the world have it. I’ll peer into the daily lives of those with DID to see how they cope with their other personalities (called alters). On occasion, I’ll speak with their loved ones—especially in cases where the person with DID refuses to seek help. Please join me for what I promise will be an interesting journey.

Life is like a puzzle. Each puzzle piece represents a stage of our life’s story. But what if your life puzzle starts with tragedy, complex trauma, and fear? These puzzle pieces can become misplaced or disorganized. Sometimes, this complex trauma is so tragic, that our mind removes these memories or sequesters them so deeply that a new identity is created to protect us from this tragedy. This is a story of just that. Debbie Klose survived decades of trauma and tragedy. The only thing protecti ...
