Season 1
Death
The rough shape
Today we dive into death, attachment, trauma, and capitalism. This episode is hosted by Henry, an alter in this DID system. We are veering from our main trajectory of walking through the carving of the russian doll and diving into some unfiltered internal monologues.
In this episode, we explore further into my childhood, post-infancy. We explore some heavy topics in this episode, touching on childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, neglect, substance abuse, and dissociation. Please prioritise your mental state whilst listening. We explore two of my poems, "Carving craters in your chest with a blunt knife" and "Perpetual adaptation." I walk you through both pieces of poetry, explaining some of the lore behind them. Stay tuned for episode three.
Welcome to the very first episode of Switchboard, a space for the internal to become external. Today we are diving into our earliest experiences in an episode titled 'Selecting the wood' A reference to the foundational first stage of carving a russian doll. This is a channel for deep listening, poetry reading & analysis, and unfiltered ramblings about life, art, existentialism, and the bare nuances of living with dissociative identities.
