Some ideas on this subject came from the podcast, “You’re Wrong About” and their episode called "Multiple Personality Disorder" from 10/01/2018, which you can find on their website at https://yourewrongabout.com/ (or wherever you listen to podcasts.)

This is Renegade Files Episode 76, Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation.

Like all Renegade Files Podcast content, this episode is for entertainment only. This episode explores topics of mental health and disorder, but it is in no way medical advice or even expert opinion. Enjoy.

At a certain level, we all have variations of our personalities, and these develop over time as a way to relate to and interact with others in society.

We may be proper and generally quiet at work, animated and provocative among our friends, and distant and disengaged around our family. And we may shift across a number of identities throughout our days. A parent in the morning, an accountant from 9 to 5, and a skydiver on the weekends.

For most of us what we do may change, but who we are, has a relative and agreed upon consistency.

But for a very small percentage of the general population the foundational reality of self is something else, something fluid, retreating, or fully disjointed and fractured.

This experience is known as dissociation and it can manifest across a spectrum of levels that ranges from a perceived detachment from nature or the environment, to a complete Dissociative Identity Disorder where more than one personality occupies a person’s awareness, and each point of comprehension is separated by blackout gaps of memory, knowledge, and influence.

Much like so many things we have explored here on Renegade Files, the ins and outs of this topic go very deep, and the multifaceted realities of the subject, may not align with the concepts and explanations that we, as a society, have been led to believe over the years.

Was the phenomenon of Multiple Personalities as we know it created more by the entertainment industry, than the clinical fields of psychology?

Has the legal system incentivized repressed memories?

And are their fractured Alters and Multiples living dormant in each of us, awaiting the perfect moment to step forth, and control the world we have built for them?

Come with me now, and together we will explore such questions, and more, as we dive deep into the fascinating subject of Multiple Personality Disorder: The Controversial Concepts of Dissociation.
