Episode 103: Krystal—10 Personalities and a Family

In this episode of The Mangled Mind Podcast, I interview Krystal, who's a wife, mother, and nurse. Doctors diagnosed her with dissociative identity disorder when she was age nineteen. Krystal has ten total personalities. She had a terrible time adjusting to her illness—multiple suicide attempts and hospitalizations. Like me, she has an amnesia barrier, so she can't remember what her alters do when she blacks out.

Episode 102: Amy—52 Personalities and a Sex Cult

This episode discusses the subjects of self-harm and sexual abuse of a child, although there is no graphic description of either. Amy developed dissociative identity disorder after being sexually abused by her father and brother—and sold by her father at age 11 to a pedophile sex cult. She developed 52 other personalities to help her deal with the trauma. The cult brainwashed Amy to respond to triggers. After being subjected to their abuse for decades, Amy finally found help and severed her connection to the cult.
