All About Alters

Wanting to Be Sure of You

Diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder at age 36, Emma and her system share what they learn along the way about DID, dissociation, trauma, and mental health.  Educational, supportive, inclusive, and inspiring, System Speak documents her healing journey through the best and worst of life in recovery through insights, conversations, and collaborations.

I’m a trauma therapist always seeking to learn more so I can be a better helper to my clients. This podcast is amazing, heartbreaking, poignant, enlightening &amp; beautiful. I’m also a mom who does not have DID or any other dissociative issues &amp; I want to say to Emma: most moms struggle, many of us worry about whether we are “good moms” &amp; hope we are not causing any harm or hurt to our children. I raised 2 kids, without DID &amp; I’m a therapist, and I struggled &amp; worried. I just want Emma to know she’s not alone. And she’s a good enough mom, and that’s enough. ❤️ Giant gratitude to Sasha, The Emma’s, Taylor, John and all the parts who are so brave in sharing their stories and helping me learn to be a better therapist. ❤️

Thank you!

This podcast is so important for mental health. Full of information, vulnerability and respect.
