One not to be missed!

Maggie Walters (Author) opens up about her experience with MPD or as it is now called 'Dissociative Identity Disorder'.

When Maggie sat down to chat with me, I really didn't know too much about MPD or what to expect from our chat. Hearing Maggie's story was truly stigma breaking.

Maggie speaks to:

- what the condition is

- why she has it

- how it shows up for her

and addresses some of the big misunderstandings and misrepresentations around MPD in the media.

I needed to hear this story. Because the next time I meet someone that lives with MPD I'm going to be able to understand them a whole lot better and show up with kindness, compassion and support.

The biggest takeaways

- MPD is a condition developed in childhood as a trauma response from extreme abuse.

- Individuals with MPD are more of a risk to themselves than to others.

- MPD is severely misrepresented in the media.

- Maggie has 40 alters that live in her head, every individual with MPD has a different system.

- Truly fascinating chat and so much to learn from this!

Grateful to Maggie for coming on and sharing her story, please take a listen and share with a friend!
