I like that when it was her daughter's birthday each of her mothers personality presented her with a gift. Beautiful Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Stay blessed! 🩵
@@thisismetoday unnecessary how? 🙄 Get over yourself it's amazing what they chose to do as her doctor. Not many would actually do that. That takes a lot of of them too, having to switch to a different "character" to fit to one individual with multiple personalities.
Not really! It's her normal. She said that multiple times. You seem to have a hard time understanding. Kim is the one that's strong. She developed a very smart system to deal with horrible long-lasting abuse!
I don't know about all that.....she really needs psychological help. You can tell she's clearly sad confused and traumatized. She needs help ASAP. She s clearly broke and has fallen apart
One of her most reclusive and quiet personalities anon, makes very dark paintings of a woman and child, it'll be black white and grey, but you get an overwhelming sense of love and tenderness from them. They're beautiful. It's beautiful how even this personality with so much darkness has an overwhelming sense of love and maternal protection for her child.
so sad that amiee has never met her actual mother kim, but it’s also great that most of the other personalities take care of her even if they don’t think she is theirs
I am not sure if her mother is Kim. From what l understand Kim disappeared when she was young and left her body to the other personalities. Her mother being Patricia, the main, or Bonny, the mother figure, is more possible.
Kim justs seems to be the name of the body or system rather than an alter. Before Kim got the chance to form her own personality, the trauma broke the mind into different alters to protect itself.
When extreme abuse occurs before a child forms a core personality, there is not a host or core to "integrate" all back into one unified whole, and that's perfectly okay. These are incredibly smart, creative, strong people, who are spiritually gifted. And that's exactly why the luciferian brotherhood targets and uses them in such ways, to access their gifts. Bless them, every one of them
When Oprah first started telling Trudy's story I had shivers and my hairs stood up..I remember seeing this the first time when I was a teenager and it really effected me..I have struggled with dissociation in my life..nowhere to this extent and I didnt have a word for it back then..but I understood what these women were saying..
I'm surprised Truddi even had a child. the sheer violence in which she was sexually abused, I would have thought that any kind of sexual encounter would be a trigger for her. I couldn't imagine what that must have been like for her.
I still remember the day the Trudy Chase show first aired. I was in high school. I think I was around 15 years old, and it stopped me in my tracks. I stood in front of the television crying, unable to even walk to the couch. I intuitively knew that I had been disassociating, but It wasn’t until many, many years later that I was able to identify my own splits. Thank you, Oprah. You have been a consistent source of Life affirming work. And you have taken our hands and helped guide us through the wilderness. Other guests like Brené Brown, Eckhart Tolle, Reverend Michael, and so many more, have helped shed light into dark corners of consciousness. Together we expand. Together we rise. Forever grateful.
Hello Leela xx, How are you doing today? Its really nice having you on here.. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, God-fearing, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.
Its amazing how our brains work so hard to protect ourself. I wish I could take away her pain but I celebrate her as a strong woman and mother. Just awesome lady!
What's fascinating about Kim is the fact that each personality has their own artistic style and way of portraying themselves. Even her handwriting changes according to which personality is dominant at the time. Her paintings are very telling about the trauma she went through. They very much hint at ritual abuse of some sort with many different people involved which is disturbing to say the least. There doesn't seem to be much detail mentioned about her parents and childhood experiences - I've wondered a lot about that ever since I first saw Kim on the Oprah Show back when it first aired.
The Vigilant Citizen wrote about her DID. He uncovers the symbolism in her artwork and it does indeed recount ritual abuse. The zapping she talks about is electroshock.
@@rachelkania5833 The vigilant citizen is a website, also has a book compiled of articles throughout the years. Let's just say it's a huge red pill. It really makes you question the elite/ government/ media and more. Very interesting, to me at least.
It's just heartbreaking when another personality of Patricia said "it's my fault"....... "cause I took the sweet" It's so heartbreaking to see her blames her innocent kid spirit :'''''
It made me wonder the difference in "bad sweets" and "good sweets". Were they drugging her?? That painting with multiple people standing over and incirculing the small body really got me. Like a party favor...smh
Sarah , there is a woman who won a court case against her very abusive father when some of her 2500 personality spoke in court and he caved in and while in the courtroom decided to plead guilty . It's on the American version of Australia 60 MINUTES here on the tube .
There are no survivors of childhood abuse, unfortunately. Those that have essentially 'murdered' that child innocence need to be held accountable for their crimes.
Coming from the short video where her therapists helps some of Kim’s personalities come out for an interview and seeing Dawn, who is stuck in 1997 when Aimee was born, saying she has a baby named Sky who was taking away is heartbreaking knowing that Sky could actually be Aimee, just not in Dawn’s mind, because Aimee was taken away by social workers as a baby :(. Stay strong Kim, you’re a might warrior and didn’t deserve to have Aimee taken away. Mentally ill people should be respected. Wishing Kim and Aimee so much love
We have to do better in punishing people who cause so much mental trauma to a person to the point they break into so many pieces. It is no less an offense than murder. The only difference, the people affected with trauma have to live the rest of their lives in a damaged state. No one deserves a life like that.
@@nataliegian you think that sexual predators who prey on children, abuse them, in many cases for years, and cause them lifelong trauma shouldn't be punished?!
@@0blivvy8 I think what she's pointing out is that punishment alone isn't helpful. It would benefit society to understand how people get to the point of being capable of harming children in such horrific ways. The more we understand, the more we can do to help prevent abuse and provide better therapies for both the victim and perpetrator.
I would like to see us get better at rescuing the children. Yes the perpetrators need to be punished but that doesn't do much to help the child. No little one should experience such trauma
@@rustynails8756 people rape children because they are depraved and sick, they should be executed. I don’t know what you mean by it doesn’t help the children, it would’ve helped me by ending it, never having to look over my shoulder for them, and by knowing that person never could hurt another kid again. Let’s be more firm in our convictions here and stand up for what is right and not treat monsters with the same soft touch as a wounded puppy. Some folks are just evil.
God Bless Oprah & her team for bringing these stories & human conditions to the fore at a time where literally no one was talking about them in the mainstream. ❤️
I did not watch this episode but you might want to look at a video about a woman with 2500 personalities here on the tube on the Australian version of 60 minutes ... I didn't watch all of that either but they definitely need to make a movie or a miniseries out of that
Oh my god the art that begins att 22:35 is horrific. And when she said they are smiling and they find it funny my heart dropped. As well as when she said it's her fault because she took the sweets. That poor poor woman, it's not your fault. Some people in this world are so evil.
And yet, so many of us believed it was our fault because we took the sweets and didn’t fight. Grateful to now understand, that it was not, even remotely, our fault.
My dad had multiple personalities. He was and amazing artist as well and drew his personalities. He called them James Gang. Jamsey was a little boy full of curiosity and scared sometimes. Would find Jamsey eating dog food on the floor or rolling around the floor sometimes. He was so sweet and gentle. Fast Forward was another one. Fast forward never sat still. Always busy getting things done in a hurried way. Had to always remind fast forward that my dad needed to eat and it was time for fast forward to let my dad come out to eat. There was a teenager boy who was super fun when I was a teen. We liked to go for drives and listen to rock music. We seemed to always get into use together. Another one of his personalities was an old man and another an older woman who liked being pretty and was nurturing. One of my dad’s personalities didn’t like me very much. Told me I was a goody tissues. Even as my dad was dying from COPD the personalities made themselves present. I feel blessed to have been raised by so many souls inside my dads head.
I was just wondering if that young girl like knows which one to hit up for money, or to get permission to go to a concert or take off school, the way kids play one parent against the other. Or if she does the classic- tell one the other one gave you permission and vice versa.
Mellaniy , were you raised by your father alone or was your mother or someone else also involved ? With all those different personalities was your dad still able to support himself financially , or not ? The fact that you enjoyed his different personalities and that you have so many good memories does not sound like the typical story of dealing with a person with multiple personalities ; that's why I think you should , if you haven't already , write a very detailed book or novel about this . It definitely needs to be made into a movie or a miniseries ... and a good solid book about it would really help get that idea out there . I really hope you take this seriously because it just really seems the story needs to be told and it would be a wonderful way to pay tribute to your father . I'm confused about the boy who would sometimes eat dog food . Do you know who it was that abused him so much that he probably was forced to eat dog food instead of regular meals ? Would the personalities last long ... like the one that went with you on the long drives ... what would happen if let's say the scared little boy in him returned would you have to stop the drive and return home for him to feel safe ? Do you see what I'm saying ? Can you describe some more for us ? For example when was the first time you realized you were seeing a totally different personality in him ? How young were you ? Can you tell us more about the one that didn't like you too much ? I know I'm asking you all these questions because I just think what you told us is such an incredible story ... if this is told the right way I believe it would be a big hit , very memorable .
daughters of mothers who were abused carry that ancestral trauma in their bones but we keep silent because it did not happen to us. but every single day we suffer and feel their pain and nobody will ever know - especially not our mothers....do you know what i mean sisters?
Indeed it lasts generations. My mom was and is unstable, and substance abuse has been a theme in her life. She was not mentally or emotionally present for me and my sisters, my dad worked a lot, and unfortunately one of my sisters sought that affection through people who introduced her to drugs that eventually killed her. As for me, it lingers in keeping an emotional distance from people. My mom viewed everything as a threat, and sometimes that meant us as kids. From a very young age I learned how damaging it could be to feel a connection to a person who would not acknowledge it. The sexual abuse she suffered as a kid has permeated decades in so many ways. And because of that, I personally feel guilty for not being able to have a relationship with her, but I also know I can’t be the kid anymore wishing for her love. All that’s left is just sorrow for me and for her. And like you said, it’s not something she could ever understand even though she was the one who initially suffered.
@@slaphappybullet I am sorry to hear that darling. Can you trace trauma back further? To your grandmother for example? I actually trace it to the institution of marriage in my family and the 'importance' of staying married regardless of how abusive the other partner may be. At the end of the day my grandmother chose marriage and society over the wellbeing of her daughter (and herself) and held onto these unhealthy notions of what being a woman is: a martyr etc. just to pass it on to all of us. My family and extended family perpetuates the cycle over and over, with pain showing itself in detachment and the inability to communicate feelings, love or upset. My mum would not even touch me growing up. I know it's not her fault. But I am still damaged by it.
It's amazing how your story can set someone free! It takes courage and bravery! Sharing your story does not only brings hope and freedom to someone but also brings healing for yourself! I know this is an old episode, however, I hope the daughter is doing ok and has sought counseling for herself.
I feel so bad for them. I myself know what it's like to have DID, but there were only 3 of us in my system. Me, Erik, the host, John, the protector, and Dylan, the caretaker. But John and Dylan are gone now because we've reintegrated. I'm finally whole again. Edit: I was in a bad car accident recently and have split again. I am no longer whole. I split off 2 alters. Dylan is back and exactly as he was before but with some of my characteristics. The other one is a brand new alter and his name is Michael. The 3 of us are trying to manage and communicate. It's easy for me and Dylan to talk but we have a hard time to talk to Micheal. We use a notebook to talk to him and explain what he is part of. I'm kind of happy that this happened but also kind of upset. But we are all doing ok so far.
I’m so happy for you! May the rest of your journey on this planet be filled with peace, love, & happiness. There’s no perfecly happy person in this world, but if there would be, I wish it to be you. You deserve the best!!! ♥️
@@borgdrone1842 Thank you so much, my brother in Christ. We have some EVIL and SICK people in this world. Many times I question my faith, but I do know that there HAS to be a higher power (God), whom will equalize all of this evil...all in due time. No matter what, I have your back. Wish I knew you personally, just to let you know that ppl care. I care. And you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Greetings & good vibes sent from New Orleans, La.
I admire this woman SO much!!! She paved the way (after Sybil on tv), for others to accept the Dx of DID as being REAL. I truly believe that ppl with DID have personalities that SAVED their lives!!! The mind does what it has to do, to protect itself. 🙌. God bless them ALL. ♥️
I have a friend who experienced much the same type of abuse that Truddi experienced from the same age, only she was sold to "the highest bidder" for sexual favors as well. She, too, coped by splitting into different personalities. What these women went through is horrifying.
I pray for everyone who has this!! God delivers from demon possession. “Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.” Matthew 17:18 NIV Jesus did it for me! He will do it for you too🙏🙏🙏
They actually attract it on a subconscious level. It's not by choice but the soul needs to experience it in order to hit rock bottom to allow the healing process to begin.
Ok Crystal, I am so sorry you endured abuse💜 what might you suggest we could do to make it stop! We could hog tie all abusers, most likely missing most. Then what?
was watching this today... and it made me realize that i, mourning the death of a part of my childhood being for months now, was normal... i thought i was crazy too... being sad and remembering me as a kid who was traumatized because of neglect and that kid in me died that time... i mourn him still... i feel validated...
I think you will be able to bring that child back if you can meet a real true Shaman from the Amazon or a Tibetan Buddhist Lama because they are about the only people out there who really know how to do what's called SOUL RETRIEVAL ... and only some of the lamas know how to do that . They believe that anytime we are traumatized that whoever you were and whatever age you were at that point in time sort of breaks off and is in a way lost out in space somehow . They know how to bring back to you the parts of you that have been sort of missing so that you are a whole integrated person again . Also I don't know if you meditate but I do feel meditation can help because it gives us control over our thoughts rather than our thoughts controlling us and helps to restore one's inner peace and balance .
The world has always been difficult, and ugly, and awful....no matter what was on tv...it's just the kind of comfort the show gave people, a daily dose of positivity, a warmth, and even when the topics were rough or sad...it gave hope that those issues were being discussed, and maybe some solutions were on the table. The world didn't get worse since Oprah left, it just lost a little bit hope, joy, and caring. I understand what you meant, it wasn't Oprah that made the world better, she just brightened your days, so you could endure, and that lil bit of positivity made the world seem better. Go out and spread some Oprah energy around. We could all use it. I wish you well, wherever you are.
@@sharonjackson268 to a certain extent, I believe your comment probably means she had fail some people’s expectations but should I remind you that this is her live and she’s obviously not on earth to please everyone. Personally, I’ve heard a lot about her, not a fan, have watched a few of her interviews only but I think she’s been very brave and bold numerous times. I’ve watched the interview with the extremist racist white guys and respect her reactions being myself black - I would have burst out of anger if I were put in her shoes. This interview as well tell me how courageous she was as she probably was living her own childhood trauma all along the interview and filming; she apparently realized to which extent the trauma to her mind could have gone… but still she’s there speaking genuinely, listening, not trying to “sell” her own story and steal the limelight… huge respect for her!
I met my ex in Saudi Arabia but he is Pakistani. We dated while living in different cities for three months, and while I felt something was a bit odd, I had never experienced DID and didn't realize that I was speaking to different people. By the time I did understand I was already in love. We were together for 2 years. As a psych major I was fascinated and wanted to "help" him. I identified 6 distinct personalities, but a psychiatrist eventually identified 15. He was the love of my life but I eventually left after one of the personalities threatened me with a knife to "protect" him. The person promised that I would die at some point. He had been brutally and repeatedly raped as a 7-year-old boy and his family blamed him. Leaving him was the hardest thing I have ever done.
Andre , I am so sorry for both of you , wow ! Yes it's a shame there is a lot of child including male child ra pe in the mos lem countries . Have you considered writing a book about this ? Perhaps it would reach a lot of people and help them to be better able to recognize this disorder and the pain and suffering in others . It sounds like it definitely needs to be told and should be made into a movie ... or even a miniseries .
@@gardensofthegods Thanks for you message. I've actually written a book about my life. I was also sexually abused as a child but I handled it differently. I have included his story in my book. I am struggling to find a litetary agent, though.
@@AndreDMalan1966 I'm sorry you went through all that , really . I am glad that you wrote your book . I used to know someone who was with Paige Press but no longer I'm in contact with her but she had said something more than once that she was not really happy with that company but I can't recall why ... I'm not sure if it's spelled that way or like a page from a book . You might want to know that the number one reason authors are not getting paid as much as they should is because Amazon books is really hurting them . I don't know if you know this , but some years back there were many authors signed something some sort of petition about it . Personally , I don't buy any books from Amazon and I have begged others not to because it's hurting the writers . I hope you find the right literary agent who looks out for your best interest . Good luck with your book and I hope it reaches a lot of people .
When the personality Reah Pratt came out to talk and show her paintings it felt like I was hit like a bolt of lightning. Those look like the paintings that were a part of the Pizza gate conspiracy!!
You can't seriously be saying god bless on a video where child sexual abuse is one of the main themes? What a thoughtless and silly thing to say- Have some respect.
@@yellowdiamonddoesntapprove6632 Exactly- It's disgusting. To imply there's a god that would bless them now after allowing them to go through it is such a kick in the teeth and shows an utter lack of compassion and respect. Get some empathy.
Erin is 1000% right... we teach these children drills.. but never what to do when being abused... 9 out of 10 times it's swept under the rug... more people need to fight for childrens voices.. because theirs are not developed yet
What I see is that both of these people are doing their best to cope with what life has handed them. That is the beauty of humanity. We adjust and cope with what we are presented with. Her daughter is amazing. She will be fine. She will have a great understanding. This is an amazing story of survival. Life is hard. Hang in there, everyone.
I was abused by several adults I trusted as q child and a few others my family trusted... I some times felt like having several personalities living within my mind... I still do, but I have been able to live a fairly “normal “ life... most of those who abused me have now died and with the help of therapy I have been able to learn that I am a victim and not to blame myself
The photo at 23:29.... has me in tears. So does the ones after that. Hearing about it is one thing, seeing a visual of it really drives it home. I'll never understand how adults can do sick things to kids, I understand their brains are wired wrong and it's been medically shown, but I can't get past the knowing it's wrong and still doing it. I think everyone should be screened, and if they have that bad brain wiring, they should be sent to a isolated place away from children. Somewhere they can never ever have access to them!! Even the knowledge that SA preds and flashers get let out of prison just to be put back into populations where sure, they can't be around schools and such, they still could go near kids, it's wrong!! The damage these people do is incomprehensible. Here I am blabbering away, but I just get so upset over this issue. I feel like since they can for the most part identify people who see kids in a devious manner, they should be easily able to keep them away!! If anything even screening adults who want to adopt children should be bare minimum, the amount of people who foster and adopt for easy targets and access and get away with it is just, ugh. It's even worse knowing I can't do anything to help or change things.
I completely agree. I did social work for 15 years. I saw HORRIBLE things. It’s in every corner of the world and sadly, it is in some very affluent households. SA, physical, mental, emotional abuse and neglect does not discriminate. I am infertile and my husband and I plan to foster to adopt. We are required to have multiple home visits, general first aid/cpr training, multiple parenting classes, financial and background screenings and we must write essays on why we want to be parents and have personal and professional references. We have no problem doing any of this. Unfortunately, most of the abuse cases I saw over my years of experience were children being abused by their blood family members (many were parents, grandparents and siblings) and also friends of family members. The absolute WORSE part of my job was after removing a child or children from an abusive environment and settling them in a new, safe situation, the biological mother (if not charged and sentenced to time in prison) would end up having more children, who would also go on to be abused. I believe, if you have a child in the system, or have had a child in the system and have an open case, you should be required to go through the same parenting classes and process as adoptive parents must go through AND you must take a competency exam. Children are the most precious things in the world. Being a parent is a privilege not a right. And if everyone suffered with infertility the way I have, including 7 miscarriages, they would know that. They must be protected.
@@MithrilMagic CL there are a lot of women who were able to CONCEIVE after trying an inexpensive powder from a plant that has been used in and around India for thousands of years literally . Its called SHATAVARI ( wild asparagus root ) and a number of women were able to have a baby after using it and this was after they had tried fertility clinics which didn't work and gave up . It's very inexpensive ; you can buy it at most Indian grocers ... I think I paid about $5 ... of course if you get it online you might pay more and there's a number of videos here about it . I read that the best quality is more of a yellowish color but I haven't only seen it in a dark White . Over time it slowly reverses or prevents aging by working on the deepest layers of the skin and slowly working its way outward . It works by PURIFYING the various fluids in the body including the REPRODUCTIVE system . You're supposed to take it with a high-quality fat like milk and also some ghee added to it . And I read you're also supposed to take it with ashwagandha which is also very good for you and is an adaptogen that helps get rid of depression and negativity , and helps you sleep better at night . You will see people who have not done their research give wrong information about it , for example women saying it increases the estrogen (which it does not ) and you will also see men saying ashwagandha increases the testosterone ( which it does not ) What these to do is they BALANCE the HORMONES . You might want to look into this and give it a try . You could end up conceiving a child ... please look at the various videos .
This is so tragic and beautiful at the same time. I'm glad her daughter seems to be well-adjusted. She's lucky in some ways to have many friends in her mother. But, it would probably be better to have a real and present mother.
Well, Aimee is (i think) 23 now and has a law degree! And while it probably would be better to have a mother who doesn't have DID, Kim is who she had been given and I think she is really lucky to have such a caring mother.
You might want to see the woman with the 2,500 personalities on the Australian version of 60 MINUTES here on the tube . She actually went to court against her abusive father and with the help of all her personalities was able to win because he actually caved in during court and decided to plead guilty . It's an extraordinary story but I didn't watch all of it because it was just too much and I didn't watch this either I just came here to comment for people who might want to see about the woman with the 2500 personalities .
Look at what happens when children are abused. If you're an abuser, in any way, the pain, agony, and turmoil you might be responsible for is beyond despicable. If you're an abuser, stop. Get help now. I wanted to use stronger words but it says to be respectful.
All very powerful and painful. How dare a person inflict this lifetime of damage on a child - it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. This is Oprah at her best
I think it's unfair to put all this on the Daughter, she should have a relationship with her Mum but not have to be involved so heavily with what's happened to her Mum, like someone else said she could visit but needs a stable happy life.
She was actually mostly respectful in this one. Sadly, that wasn't usually the case. I was surprised to see her cry because I hadn't ever seen her show empathy, but then she explained that she had been thinking about herself and her own experiences...and then it made sense.
Both are beautiful women. Trudy and Kim. Beautiful women who were meant to survive. Like myself. Like many other people. Thankyou OWN Network for this doco. I watched the Trudy Chase show over 2 decades ago. Bless you Oprah. Much love.
Wow, as interesting as this is it's also so tragic. I'm so blessed that I was able to get through my abuse without this type of thing happening to me. It's true, that if you've been abused it's important to talk and talk and talk to whoever will listen. People will tell you to stop talking about it because it makes them uncomfortable, but it's healing for the abused. For so many years I was so angry at everyone around me that they didn't understand me or believe me. I met Jesus one day and gave my life to Him and He helped me get rid of the anger and start the forgiveness journey. I was finally FREE! Those memories, even the little ones stick like glue. I've tried to write my story a few times, but I get disgusted and can't read it back so I let it go and give it to God so that I can continue my healing. Like these women, I was abused since I was a baby. Until I was able to stand up to my dad and say "no more! The trauma continued until he died when I knew he couldn't hurt another child. I taught my kids at a young age to speak out if anyone tried to touch their bodies. That is what is lacking in this world, people protect the abuser (for whatever reason) instead of protecting the children.
If you notice,when they ask you if you are in an abusive relationship,your partner is right there listening to every word!! What San person is gonna say yes in front of their abuser?!!!!!
Thank You for sharing these uploads now. I absolutely appreciate you ❤️I hope everyone dealing with DID gets the help and recognition this recognition this disease requires it’s absolutely heartbreaking. 🙏😢
wait...the subtle eyeroll at 21:16 from oprah....like she wanted the daughter to hate her mom? That daughter loves her mom and has accepted her for who she/he is. that is loyalty and love. I also love in the beginning how the mom fought for her daughter, to keep her, and made sure to get the help she needed, and pulled it off. She loves her child so much! Its not her fault she has this disorder! And social services stressed her out further, taking away the nurturing Bonny personality her daughter needed. I think shes a great mom with a huge heart and lots of talent. I feel sorry for the whole situation, but I love her strength to carry on. And I am so happy she has therapists who help her and her daughter get through it together. The mother obviously went through some trauma to have developed this, its like a coping mechanism, to escape the abuse, you detach from yourself in order to survive. I feel so so sorry for the mom that she was abused by sick perverts! She said they bribed her with candy, and zapped her. What sick evil people! They blurred out the painting of what they had done to her. So sad, I could only imagine her pain as a 12 year old girl going through that alone, no one to turn to. Theres a novel, a VERY sad novel I warn you, but with a positive ending. They made a movie on it too called Sybil played by Sally Field about a girl who was sexually abused by her own mom as a child and developed multiple personalities then, but she got help as she got older and I think a lot of her personalities dropped off then. There is a chance with the right therapy all of the extra personalities could go away for good, its just patching up the trauma. There is always hope in everything.
Actually, i too had read the book & watched movie of "Sybil". It's actually been confirmed that it was a convoluted notion, due to the pressure of the psychiatrist, which triggered 'Sybil' to have false memory syndrome. Before Sybil went to see the Dr., doctor's focus of study & dissertation was on MPD, & was actively seeking any said patient who had MPD, who would have the disorder. So, through drugs, etc. & which had become a pseudo mother/daughter inappropriate relationship, the notes were discovered & the story basically fell apart, & had no truth to it. It's quite interesting, if you ever want to research what they know about that story in the millennium. Thanks.
It's an old thread but I want to clarify for people who might still stumble across this comment. In 'Sybil' movie the alters ( which is the modern term for 'personalities' ) integrated back into a whole person. Now we know it is not always the case and not necessarily a realistic goal to strive for. While there are as many forms of Dissociative Identity Disorder ( modern term for 'Multiple Personalities Disorder ) as there are people with it, integration back to a singleton personality is still an exception rather than the norm. It is also not always the 'original' person being the host ( term used for the alter being the most in the body, in this case Patricia ). The 'original' often go dormant ( dormant as in will not wake again, but just in case we don't say de*d ). It irked me the host of this show kept referring to Patricia as Kim, since Kim is just the body's birth name. Added fact, it has been scientifically proven as well that each alter use the brain differently, as well as others more noticeable external differences. It is now not considered an illness.

To anyone who wishes to have DID, here is why you SHOULDN'T want to have DID. When we are children, we have yet to develop a fully integrated identity. We are all born with several "ego states" so when severe or repeated trauma happens before the ages 6-9 (when the child's mind starts to fully develop), with no support given to cope with the trauma, these ego states fail to merge into one distinct identity, thus creating amnesia barriers in between so that the "host" can go on living without the memory of the trauma. The trauma they went through as a child before the ages 6-9 was so traumatic to the point the mind goes "nope, I can't do this, I cannot cope, I cannot survive, I think I'm gonna die" and thus splits into several alternate state of consciousness. This is how people with DID survive. This is our coping mechanism. So, please, I urge you, not to feel envious of people who had to experience horrendous things happening to them as a CHILD. It's not always a party, it's not something to romanticise having.
I have 96 identity, known I was different in elementary school age . So many times heard i was crazy, or had high imagination. My original person has died refuses to live so we take over for her
Her ART is AMAZING 👏.... Soooooooo much talent 👏.... I'm floored the core of my Soul.... She needs to bring that ARTISTIC style to NEW YORKERS... Impressive.... Bitter Sweet ... Trauma comes to Humans by different roots... I believe within our HUMANITY we are capable too feel that EMOTIONAL PAIN with the deepest EMPATHY.... Thank You
This is an amazing story God bless that daughter I don't know if that Mom is still alive but what a story I'll tell you and what a life God bless both of them
I like that when it was her daughter's birthday each of her mothers personality presented her with a gift. Beautiful
Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Stay blessed! 🩵

I mean, it's not that bad.
That's such an unnecessary thing to say.
@@thisismetoday unnecessary how? 🙄 Get over yourself it's amazing what they chose to do as her doctor. Not many would actually do that. That takes a lot of of them too, having to switch to a different "character" to fit to one individual with multiple personalities.

Yes, May God bless her and protect her Mother.🙏🙏🙏

Hello, how are you, how is the weather over there, your profile looks really good, nice to meet you here🌹🌹🌹
Nabani , you might want to look at the thread by Mellaniy Swansong ... it is mind-blowing she had a parent with multiple personalities
@@johnbarry4251 I am an Indian...and whether is good here...
One of her most reclusive and quiet personalities anon, makes very dark paintings of a woman and child, it'll be black white and grey, but you get an overwhelming sense of love and tenderness from them. They're beautiful. It's beautiful how even this personality with so much darkness has an overwhelming sense of love and maternal protection for her child.
I’ll never forget Trudy…she left a lasting impact on me with her story 😕.
Me to.
so sad that amiee has never met her actual mother kim, but it’s also great that most of the other personalities take care of her even if they don’t think she is theirs
I am not sure if her mother is Kim. From what l understand Kim disappeared when she was young and left her body to the other personalities. Her mother being Patricia, the main, or Bonny, the mother figure, is more possible.
Kim justs seems to be the name of the body or system rather than an alter. Before Kim got the chance to form her own personality, the trauma broke the mind into different alters to protect itself.
She had another alter that did most of the parenting.
My thought exactly 😢😢
When extreme abuse occurs before a child forms a core personality, there is not a host or core to "integrate" all back into one unified whole, and that's perfectly okay. These are incredibly smart, creative, strong people, who are spiritually gifted. And that's exactly why the luciferian brotherhood targets and uses them in such ways, to access their gifts. Bless them, every one of them
When Oprah first started telling Trudy's story I had shivers and my hairs stood up..I remember seeing this the first time when I was a teenager and it really effected me..I have struggled with dissociation in my life..nowhere to this extent and I didnt have a word for it back then..but I understood what these women were saying..
I'm surprised Truddi even had a child. the sheer violence in which she was sexually abused, I would have thought that any kind of sexual encounter would be a trigger for her. I couldn't imagine what that must have been like for her.
I still remember the day the Trudy Chase show first aired. I was in high school. I think I was around 15 years old, and it stopped me in my tracks. I stood in front of the television crying, unable to even walk to the couch. I intuitively knew that I had been disassociating, but It wasn’t until many, many years later that I was able to identify my own splits. Thank you, Oprah. You have been a consistent source of Life affirming work. And you have taken our hands and helped guide us through the wilderness. Other guests like Brené Brown, Eckhart Tolle, Reverend Michael, and so many more, have helped shed light into dark corners of consciousness. Together we expand. Together we rise. Forever grateful.
Hello Leela xx, How are you doing today? Its really nice having you on here.. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, God-fearing, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance.

Hello,greetings my dear
Oprah has changed. She's not as good as she was on her show. Ask Maui.
@@lorimiller4301TV isn't real. It's TV. She's a billionaire. She's not a Saint. Never was.
Its amazing how our brains work so hard to protect ourself. I wish I could take away her pain but I celebrate her as a strong woman and mother. Just awesome lady!
What's fascinating about Kim is the fact that each personality has their own artistic style and way of portraying themselves. Even her handwriting changes according to which personality is dominant at the time. Her paintings are very telling about the trauma she went through. They very much hint at ritual abuse of some sort with many different people involved which is disturbing to say the least. There doesn't seem to be much detail mentioned about her parents and childhood experiences - I've wondered a lot about that ever since I first saw Kim on the Oprah Show back when it first aired.
Its different cause they're different people and she's not spoken about her childhood cause it was obviously horrific.
The Vigilant Citizen wrote about her DID. He uncovers the symbolism in her artwork and it does indeed recount ritual abuse. The zapping she talks about is electroshock.
@@stephanieblanco7055 Who is the vigilant citizen and where did you read about this? I’m so curious
@@rachelkania5833 The vigilant citizen is a website, also has a book compiled of articles throughout the years. Let's just say it's a huge red pill. It really makes you question the elite/ government/ media and more. Very interesting, to me at least.
@@mikkistar7568 Thank you! I definitely want to look into this. It seems like something I’d find very interesting as well
It's just heartbreaking when another personality of Patricia said "it's my fault"....... "cause I took the sweet"
It's so heartbreaking to see her blames her innocent kid spirit :'''''
That got me too, that bit!😥
True, it's heartbreaking
They aren't other personalities of Patricia but personalities of the system Kim. Wanted to get that right, it's quite important
I thought that means the 12 yr old still blames herself?
It made me wonder the difference in "bad sweets" and "good sweets". Were they drugging her?? That painting with multiple people standing over and incirculing the small body really got me. Like a party favor...smh

How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Greetings my dear
Sarah , there is a woman who won a court case against her very abusive father when some of her 2500 personality spoke in court and he caved in and while in the courtroom decided to plead guilty .
It's on the American version of Australia 60 MINUTES here on the tube .
God bless all survivors of pain.
Thank You for your kind words.
@@TicaChica61 your welcome
@@TicaChica61 thankyou
There are no survivors of childhood abuse, unfortunately. Those that have essentially 'murdered' that child innocence need to be held accountable for their crimes.
May Truddi Rest in Peace. And god bless Kim and Amy❤️
Coming from the short video where her therapists helps some of Kim’s personalities come out for an interview and seeing Dawn, who is stuck in 1997 when Aimee was born, saying she has a baby named Sky who was taking away is heartbreaking knowing that Sky could actually be Aimee, just not in Dawn’s mind, because Aimee was taken away by social workers as a baby :(. Stay strong Kim, you’re a might warrior and didn’t deserve to have Aimee taken away. Mentally ill people should be respected. Wishing Kim and Aimee so much love
We have to do better in punishing people who cause so much mental trauma to a person to the point they break into so many pieces. It is no less an offense than murder. The only difference, the people affected with trauma have to live the rest of their lives in a damaged state. No one deserves a life like that.
I disagree. Hurt people, hurt people. They need deep healing, not punishment because everything anyone does effects everyone on this planet.
@@nataliegian you think that sexual predators who prey on children, abuse them, in many cases for years, and cause them lifelong trauma shouldn't be punished?!
@@0blivvy8 I think what she's pointing out is that punishment alone isn't helpful. It would benefit society to understand how people get to the point of being capable of harming children in such horrific ways. The more we understand, the more we can do to help prevent abuse and provide better therapies for both the victim and perpetrator.
I would like to see us get better at rescuing the children. Yes the perpetrators need to be punished but that doesn't do much to help the child. No little one should experience such trauma
@@rustynails8756 people rape children because they are depraved and sick, they should be executed. I don’t know what you mean by it doesn’t help the children, it would’ve helped me by ending it, never having to look over my shoulder for them, and by knowing that person never could hurt another kid again. Let’s be more firm in our convictions here and stand up for what is right and not treat monsters with the same soft touch as a wounded puppy. Some folks are just evil.
Her daughter is amazing. So young yet She’s strong as fk
God Bless Oprah & her team for bringing these stories & human conditions to the fore at a time where literally no one was talking about them in the mainstream. ❤️
I did not watch this episode but you might want to look at a video about a woman with 2500 personalities here on the tube on the Australian version of 60 minutes ... I didn't watch all of that either but they definitely need to make a movie or a miniseries out of that
Oprah is part of the cult
“God bless Oprah??!?” Shes the devil in disguise. Don’t buy into her fake tv personality
Oh my god the art that begins att 22:35 is horrific. And when she said they are smiling and they find it funny my heart dropped. As well as when she said it's her fault because she took the sweets. That poor poor woman, it's not your fault. Some people in this world are so evil.
😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
"The Gift" by Patricia A. Zander PhD.
And yet, so many of us believed it was our fault because we took the sweets and didn’t fight. Grateful to now understand, that it was not, even remotely, our fault.
There looked to be even a woman in the painting, assuming it to be her mother. 😭
@@MetalHomestead Because the people that are supposed to protect us, made us believe it was our fault. They were most likely abused as well.
My dad had multiple personalities. He was and amazing artist as well and drew his personalities. He called them James Gang. Jamsey was a little boy full of curiosity and scared sometimes. Would find Jamsey eating dog food on the floor or rolling around the floor sometimes. He was so sweet and gentle. Fast Forward was another one. Fast forward never sat still. Always busy getting things done in a hurried way. Had to always remind fast forward that my dad needed to eat and it was time for fast forward to let my dad come out to eat. There was a teenager boy who was super fun when I was a teen. We liked to go for drives and listen to rock music. We seemed to always get into use together. Another one of his personalities was an old man and another an older woman who liked being pretty and was nurturing. One of my dad’s personalities didn’t like me very much. Told me I was a goody tissues. Even as my dad was dying from COPD the personalities made themselves present. I feel blessed to have been raised by so many souls inside my dads head.
Thanks for sharing! I would never guessed that the child of such unstable person could feel happy! Glad that you did!

@@rosilatrailera goody tissues 🧻 lol 😂 But no, you’re right. It is goody two shoes

I was just wondering if that young girl like knows which one to hit up for money, or to get permission to go to a concert or take off school, the way kids play one parent against the other. Or if she does the classic- tell one the other one gave you permission and vice versa.
Mellaniy , were you raised by your father alone or was your mother or someone else also involved ?
With all those different personalities was your dad still able to support himself financially , or not ?
The fact that you enjoyed his different personalities and that you have so many good memories does not sound like the typical story of dealing with a person with multiple personalities ; that's why I think you should , if you haven't already , write a very detailed book or novel about this .
It definitely needs to be made into a movie or a miniseries ... and a good solid book about it would really help get that idea out there .
I really hope you take this seriously because it just really seems the story needs to be told and it would be a wonderful way to pay tribute to your father .
I'm confused about the boy who would sometimes eat dog food .
Do you know who it was that abused him so much that he probably was forced to eat dog food instead of regular meals ?
Would the personalities last long ... like the one that went with you on the long drives ... what would happen if let's say the scared little boy in him returned would you have to stop the drive and return home for him to feel safe ?
Do you see what I'm saying ?
Can you describe some more for us ?
For example when was the first time you realized you were seeing a totally different personality in him ? How young were you ?
Can you tell us more about the one that didn't like you too much ?
I know I'm asking you all these questions because I just think what you told us is such an incredible story ... if this is told the right way I believe it would be a big hit , very memorable .
daughters of mothers who were abused carry that ancestral trauma in their bones but we keep silent because it did not happen to us. but every single day we suffer and feel their pain and nobody will ever know - especially not our mothers....do you know what i mean sisters?
I feel you ♥️
@@centrifugalmuse ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indeed it lasts generations. My mom was and is unstable, and substance abuse has been a theme in her life. She was not mentally or emotionally present for me and my sisters, my dad worked a lot, and unfortunately one of my sisters sought that affection through people who introduced her to drugs that eventually killed her.
As for me, it lingers in keeping an emotional distance from people. My mom viewed everything as a threat, and sometimes that meant us as kids. From a very young age I learned how damaging it could be to feel a connection to a person who would not acknowledge it.
The sexual abuse she suffered as a kid has permeated decades in so many ways. And because of that, I personally feel guilty for not being able to have a relationship with her, but I also know I can’t be the kid anymore wishing for her love. All that’s left is just sorrow for me and for her. And like you said, it’s not something she could ever understand even though she was the one who initially suffered.
@@slaphappybullet I am sorry to hear that darling. Can you trace trauma back further? To your grandmother for example? I actually trace it to the institution of marriage in my family and the 'importance' of staying married regardless of how abusive the other partner may be. At the end of the day my grandmother chose marriage and society over the wellbeing of her daughter (and herself) and held onto these unhealthy notions of what being a woman is: a martyr etc. just to pass it on to all of us. My family and extended family perpetuates the cycle over and over, with pain showing itself in detachment and the inability to communicate feelings, love or upset. My mum would not even touch me growing up. I know it's not her fault. But I am still damaged by it.
Amen. That's what Beloved was about.

It's amazing how your story can set someone free! It takes courage and bravery! Sharing your story does not only brings hope and freedom to someone but also brings healing for yourself! I know this is an old episode, however, I hope the daughter is doing ok and has sought counseling for herself.
I smell a book.
i am currently studying psychology. and day by day i realize how much our childhood affect our life as a whole.
Let me know how ??
I feel so bad for them. I myself know what it's like to have DID, but there were only 3 of us in my system. Me, Erik, the host, John, the protector, and Dylan, the caretaker. But John and Dylan are gone now because we've reintegrated. I'm finally whole again.
Edit: I was in a bad car accident recently and have split again. I am no longer whole. I split off 2 alters. Dylan is back and exactly as he was before but with some of my characteristics. The other one is a brand new alter and his name is Michael. The 3 of us are trying to manage and communicate. It's easy for me and Dylan to talk but we have a hard time to talk to Micheal. We use a notebook to talk to him and explain what he is part of. I'm kind of happy that this happened but also kind of upset. But we are all doing ok so far.
Congratulations! Have a beautiful life.
That is massive! Best wishes for the future after what must have been a major journey.

I remember also.
I admire this woman SO much!!! She paved the way (after Sybil on tv), for others to accept the Dx of DID as being REAL. I truly believe that ppl with DID have personalities that SAVED their lives!!! The mind does what it has to do, to protect itself. 🙌. God bless them ALL. ♥️
I have a friend who experienced much the same type of abuse that Truddi experienced from the same age, only she was sold to "the highest bidder" for sexual favors as well. She, too, coped by splitting into different personalities. What these women went through is horrifying.
How are you doing 😊👋☺️👋
It is definitely girls who are the victims of child sexual abuse and severe trauma. That’s why women have such a high incidence of DID.
I pray for everyone who has this!! God delivers from demon possession. “Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.”
Matthew 17:18 NIV
Jesus did it for me! He will do it for you too🙏🙏🙏
@@melissadadzie59 I just wish God would not create these child abusers... 😰 So please pray God would stop creating them, maybe he listens to you😰

I know right. Sad.
Very 😥 sad
Poor Baby, my heart sunk when she started crying.
I was abused as so many of us were. Sadly it happens way too often and it needs to stop!
They actually attract it on a subconscious level. It's not by choice but the soul needs to experience it in order to hit rock bottom to allow the healing process to begin.

was watching this today... and it made me realize that i, mourning the death of a part of my childhood being for months now, was normal... i thought i was crazy too... being sad and remembering me as a kid who was traumatized because of neglect and that kid in me died that time... i mourn him still... i feel validated...
💗
Sorry for your loss “
I can relate to that a 100%.
I think you will be able to bring that child back if you can meet a real true Shaman from the Amazon or a Tibetan Buddhist Lama because they are about the only people out there who really know how to do what's called SOUL RETRIEVAL ... and only some of the lamas know how to do that .
They believe that anytime we are traumatized that whoever you were and whatever age you were at that point in time sort of breaks off and is in a way lost out in space somehow .
They know how to bring back to you the parts of you that have been sort of missing so that you are a whole integrated person again .
Also I don't know if you meditate but I do feel meditation can help because it gives us control over our thoughts rather than our thoughts controlling us and helps to restore one's inner peace and balance .
@@gardensofthegods thank you, i was just going to mention soul retrieval.

We need this show now more than ever. I swear sometimes I feel like the world got worse after the Oprah show ended.
It's not like Oprah was a positive influential role model.
@@sharonjackson268 adults shouldn't need role models. 🙄
Little dramatic but... Ok
The world has always been difficult, and ugly, and awful....no matter what was on tv...it's just the kind of comfort the show gave people, a daily dose of positivity, a warmth, and even when the topics were rough or sad...it gave hope that those issues were being discussed, and maybe some solutions were on the table. The world didn't get worse since Oprah left, it just lost a little bit hope, joy, and caring. I understand what you meant, it wasn't Oprah that made the world better, she just brightened your days, so you could endure, and that lil bit of positivity made the world seem better. Go out and spread some Oprah energy around. We could all use it. I wish you well, wherever you are.
@@sharonjackson268 to a certain extent, I believe your comment probably means she had fail some people’s expectations but should I remind you that this is her live and she’s obviously not on earth to please everyone. Personally, I’ve heard a lot about her, not a fan, have watched a few of her interviews only but I think she’s been very brave and bold numerous times. I’ve watched the interview with the extremist racist white guys and respect her reactions being myself black - I would have burst out of anger if I were put in her shoes. This interview as well tell me how courageous she was as she probably was living her own childhood trauma all along the interview and filming; she apparently realized to which extent the trauma to her mind could have gone… but still she’s there speaking genuinely, listening, not trying to “sell” her own story and steal the limelight… huge respect for her!
I deal with DID. So many of us. Powerful. Thanks Opra…… I’m breaking my silence… hard
She's (they're) an amazing artist (s).
Abuse survivors are the bravest of women and men.
I met my ex in Saudi Arabia but he is Pakistani. We dated while living in different cities for three months, and while I felt something was a bit odd, I had never experienced DID and didn't realize that I was speaking to different people. By the time I did understand I was already in love. We were together for 2 years. As a psych major I was fascinated and wanted to "help" him. I identified 6 distinct personalities, but a psychiatrist eventually identified 15. He was the love of my life but I eventually left after one of the personalities threatened me with a knife to "protect" him. The person promised that I would die at some point. He had been brutally and repeatedly raped as a 7-year-old boy and his family blamed him. Leaving him was the hardest thing I have ever done.
So sorry you both went through this torture! We can only teach pychiatrists & therapists how to properly diagnose D I D

You might want to know that the number one reason authors are not getting paid as much as they should is because Amazon books is really hurting them .
I don't know if you know this , but some years back there were many authors signed something some sort of petition about it .

I hope you find the right literary agent who looks out for your best interest .
Good luck with your book and I hope it reaches a lot of people .

The photo at 23:29.... has me in tears. So does the ones after that. Hearing about it is one thing, seeing a visual of it really drives it home. I'll never understand how adults can do sick things to kids, I understand their brains are wired wrong and it's been medically shown, but I can't get past the knowing it's wrong and still doing it. I think everyone should be screened, and if they have that bad brain wiring, they should be sent to a isolated place away from children. Somewhere they can never ever have access to them!! Even the knowledge that SA preds and flashers get let out of prison just to be put back into populations where sure, they can't be around schools and such, they still could go near kids, it's wrong!! The damage these people do is incomprehensible. Here I am blabbering away, but I just get so upset over this issue. I feel like since they can for the most part identify people who see kids in a devious manner, they should be easily able to keep them away!! If anything even screening adults who want to adopt children should be bare minimum, the amount of people who foster and adopt for easy targets and access and get away with it is just, ugh. It's even worse knowing I can't do anything to help or change things.
I completely agree. I did social work for 15 years. I saw HORRIBLE things. It’s in every corner of the world and sadly, it is in some very affluent households. SA, physical, mental, emotional abuse and neglect does not discriminate. I am infertile and my husband and I plan to foster to adopt. We are required to have multiple home visits, general first aid/cpr training, multiple parenting classes, financial and background screenings and we must write essays on why we want to be parents and have personal and professional references. We have no problem doing any of this. Unfortunately, most of the abuse cases I saw over my years of experience were children being abused by their blood family members (many were parents, grandparents and siblings) and also friends of family members. The absolute WORSE part of my job was after removing a child or children from an abusive environment and settling them in a new, safe situation, the biological mother (if not charged and sentenced to time in prison) would end up having more children, who would also go on to be abused. I believe, if you have a child in the system, or have had a child in the system and have an open case, you should be required to go through the same parenting classes and process as adoptive parents must go through AND you must take a competency exam. Children are the most precious things in the world. Being a parent is a privilege not a right. And if everyone suffered with infertility the way I have, including 7 miscarriages, they would know that. They must be protected.
@@MithrilMagic CL there are a lot of women who were able to CONCEIVE after trying an inexpensive powder from a plant that has been used in and around India for thousands of years literally .
Its called SHATAVARI ( wild asparagus root ) and a number of women were able to have a baby after using it and this was after they had tried fertility clinics which didn't work and gave up .
It's very inexpensive ; you can buy it at most Indian grocers ... I think I paid about $5 ... of course if you get it online you might pay more and there's a number of videos here about it .
I read that the best quality is more of a yellowish color but I haven't only seen it in a dark White .
Over time it slowly reverses or prevents aging by working on the deepest layers of the skin and slowly working its way outward .
It works by PURIFYING the various fluids in the body including the REPRODUCTIVE system .
You're supposed to take it with a high-quality fat like milk and also some ghee added to it .
And I read you're also supposed to take it with ashwagandha which is also very good for you and is an adaptogen that helps get rid of depression and negativity , and helps you sleep better at night .
You will see people who have not done their research give wrong information about it , for example women saying it increases the estrogen (which it does not ) and you will also see men saying ashwagandha increases the testosterone ( which it does not )
What these to do is they BALANCE the HORMONES .
You might want to look into this and give it a try .
You could end up conceiving a child ... please look at the various videos .
what's worse is this art is displayed in a family restaurant
what does the photo express?
It is very telling
I have worked with people who are multiples. These are amazing people. The brain IS the final frontier.
This is so tragic and beautiful at the same time. I'm glad her daughter seems to be well-adjusted. She's lucky in some ways to have many friends in her mother. But, it would probably be better to have a real and present mother.
Well, Aimee is (i think) 23 now and has a law degree! And while it probably would be better to have a mother who doesn't have DID, Kim is who she had been given and I think she is really lucky to have such a caring mother.
If only people would believe children!
Her artwork is AMAZING!
it really is
She has a twitter with her current art.
@@equality_is_not_equity1010 you know it?
there
Watching you and White Rabbit my daughter found the courage to tell me about her abuse. Even though she had denied this problem for years.
More full episodes from the 80's, 90's, 2000s & 2010s, please!
I second this
So all of them 😂
You might want to see the woman with the 2,500 personalities on the Australian version of 60 MINUTES here on the tube .
She actually went to court against her abusive father and with the help of all her personalities was able to win because he actually caved in during court and decided to plead guilty .
It's an extraordinary story but I didn't watch all of it because it was just too much and I didn't watch this either I just came here to comment for people who might want to see about the woman with the 2500 personalities .
I knew I recognized those portraits. The podesta brothers LOVE Kim nobels art. You can look into that rabbit whole for yourself.
They conveniently left out the child torture painting.
Yes pizzagate and Satanic Ritual abuse
omg
i almost got tears in my eyes, when aimee cried cause she felt rejected by the personality dawn. Its very traumatic and sad.
Look at what happens when children are abused. If you're an abuser, in any way, the pain, agony, and turmoil you might be responsible for is beyond despicable. If you're an abuser, stop. Get help now. I wanted to use stronger words but it says to be respectful.
How are you doing 😊☺️☺️
Hello,greetings my dear
All very powerful and painful. How dare a person inflict this lifetime of damage on a child - it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. This is Oprah at her best
Thank you for this. The world needs to see and hear our stories.
I think it's unfair to put all this on the Daughter, she should have a relationship with her Mum but not have to be involved so heavily with what's happened to her Mum, like someone else said she could visit but needs a stable happy life.
There's a vice video with an update and the daughter is in it. She seems well. But yes her life must've been complicated.
I agree, key.
LOVE these old uploads 💯
Erin is a superstar. So are Trudy and Kim. What brave people.
This is when Oprah was at her best .... sorry to see how much she has changed.
She was actually mostly respectful in this one. Sadly, that wasn't usually the case. I was surprised to see her cry because I hadn't ever seen her show empathy, but then she explained that she had been thinking about herself and her own experiences...and then it made sense.
The daughter was cracking upwhen ken said he's not a transvestite...😂😂😂
Both are beautiful women. Trudy and Kim. Beautiful women who were meant to survive. Like myself. Like many other people.
Thankyou OWN Network for this doco. I watched the Trudy Chase show over 2 decades ago.
Bless you Oprah. Much love.
There should be another Oprah Show to teach and inspire today's new generation.
Wow, as interesting as this is it's also so tragic. I'm so blessed that I was able to get through my abuse without this type of thing happening to me. It's true, that if you've been abused it's important to talk and talk and talk to whoever will listen. People will tell you to stop talking about it because it makes them uncomfortable, but it's healing for the abused. For so many years I was so angry at everyone around me that they didn't understand me or believe me. I met Jesus one day and gave my life to Him and He helped me get rid of the anger and start the forgiveness journey. I was finally FREE! Those memories, even the little ones stick like glue. I've tried to write my story a few times, but I get disgusted and can't read it back so I let it go and give it to God so that I can continue my healing. Like these women, I was abused since I was a baby. Until I was able to stand up to my dad and say "no more! The trauma continued until he died when I knew he couldn't hurt another child. I taught my kids at a young age to speak out if anyone tried to touch their bodies. That is what is lacking in this world, people protect the abuser (for whatever reason) instead of protecting the children.
Hello,greetings my dear
Thank God for healing!
And for His love to set me free!
If you notice,when they ask you if you are in an abusive relationship,your partner is right there listening to every word!! What San person is gonna say yes in front of their abuser?!!!!!
Yep. Right 😤💓
Trudie’s daughter was so brave and is a great person.❤
Thank You for sharing these uploads now. I absolutely appreciate you ❤️I hope everyone dealing with DID gets the help and recognition this recognition this disease requires it’s absolutely heartbreaking. 🙏😢
Hello 👋
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Thank You for breaking the silence.
This topic is timeless in a silent hush hush society.
wait...the subtle eyeroll at 21:16 from oprah....like she wanted the daughter to hate her mom? That daughter loves her mom and has accepted her for who she/he is. that is loyalty and love. I also love in the beginning how the mom fought for her daughter, to keep her, and made sure to get the help she needed, and pulled it off. She loves her child so much! Its not her fault she has this disorder! And social services stressed her out further, taking away the nurturing Bonny personality her daughter needed. I think shes a great mom with a huge heart and lots of talent. I feel sorry for the whole situation, but I love her strength to carry on. And I am so happy she has therapists who help her and her daughter get through it together. The mother obviously went through some trauma to have developed this, its like a coping mechanism, to escape the abuse, you detach from yourself in order to survive. I feel so so sorry for the mom that she was abused by sick perverts! She said they bribed her with candy, and zapped her. What sick evil people! They blurred out the painting of what they had done to her. So sad, I could only imagine her pain as a 12 year old girl going through that alone, no one to turn to. Theres a novel, a VERY sad novel I warn you, but with a positive ending. They made a movie on it too called Sybil played by Sally Field about a girl who was sexually abused by her own mom as a child and developed multiple personalities then, but she got help as she got older and I think a lot of her personalities dropped off then. There is a chance with the right therapy all of the extra personalities could go away for good, its just patching up the trauma. There is always hope in everything.
Omg I thought I was the only one who caught that eye roll, she's fake asf
the eye roll was clearly because she had to cut for a commercial
it seems like Oprah flips through personalities.
Actually, i too had read the book & watched movie of "Sybil". It's actually been confirmed that it was a convoluted notion, due to the pressure of the psychiatrist, which triggered 'Sybil' to have false memory syndrome. Before Sybil went to see the Dr., doctor's focus of study & dissertation was on MPD, & was actively seeking any said patient who had MPD, who would have the disorder. So, through drugs, etc. & which had become a pseudo mother/daughter inappropriate relationship, the notes were discovered & the story basically fell apart, & had no truth to it. It's quite interesting, if you ever want to research what they know about that story in the millennium. Thanks.
It's an old thread but I want to clarify for people who might still stumble across this comment. In 'Sybil' movie the alters ( which is the modern term for 'personalities' ) integrated back into a whole person. Now we know it is not always the case and not necessarily a realistic goal to strive for. While there are as many forms of Dissociative Identity Disorder ( modern term for 'Multiple Personalities Disorder ) as there are people with it, integration back to a singleton personality is still an exception rather than the norm.
It is also not always the 'original' person being the host ( term used for the alter being the most in the body, in this case Patricia ). The 'original' often go dormant ( dormant as in will not wake again, but just in case we don't say de*d ). It irked me the host of this show kept referring to Patricia as Kim, since Kim is just the body's birth name.
Added fact, it has been scientifically proven as well that each alter use the brain differently, as well as others more noticeable external differences. It is now not considered an illness. You can search up those articles yourselves with internet!
My heart hurts for Kim & Aimee & Trudy, truly heartbreaking 💔
Erin should be a news broadcaster she’s got a confidence and voice that is strong and powerful she gets her point across and is quit convicting and convincing
Bravo Erin
BEING THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE
USING YOUR Pain to help others
My heart hurts for daughter when the personality voice she wish she had a daughter & daughter is screaming inside I'm your daughter but tears is all she can express.💔 😞 😢
I love to see Trudi daughter ❤️💕 . The story of the lady in Reno becoming motivated to become a social worker after seeing Trudi was moving as well. Miss you Oprah
She's busy stealing Maui.
To anyone who wishes to have DID, here is why you SHOULDN'T want to have DID.
When we are children, we have yet to develop a fully integrated identity. We are all born with several "ego states" so when severe or repeated trauma happens before the ages 6-9 (when the child's mind starts to fully develop), with no support given to cope with the trauma, these ego states fail to merge into one distinct identity, thus creating amnesia barriers in between so that the "host" can go on living without the memory of the trauma. The trauma they went through as a child before the ages 6-9 was so traumatic to the point the mind goes "nope, I can't do this, I cannot cope, I cannot survive, I think I'm gonna die" and thus splits into several alternate state of consciousness. This is how people with DID survive. This is our coping mechanism.
So, please, I urge you, not to feel envious of people who had to experience horrendous things happening to them as a CHILD. It's not always a party, it's not something to romanticise having.
I can't believe Oprah sat there with these poor souls. Knowing what she's done 😢
what did she do?
I have 96 identity, known I was different in elementary school age . So many times heard i was crazy, or had high imagination.
My original person has died refuses to live so we take over for her
Really enjoyed😊 and even helped me to understand someone suffering from different personalities💓 he is not aware but he has them.
how awesome this show was. thank you to those who stand up and help!
Amy , our daughter ❤️. May sound crazy but Amy is extremely protected and I love that for her .
Her ART is AMAZING 👏.... Soooooooo much talent 👏.... I'm floored the core of my Soul.... She needs to bring that ARTISTIC style to NEW YORKERS...
Impressive....
Bitter Sweet ... Trauma comes to Humans by different roots... I believe within our HUMANITY we are capable too feel that EMOTIONAL PAIN with the deepest EMPATHY.... Thank You
How are you doing 😊☺️👋☺️
Hello, how are you, how is the weather over there, your profile looks really good, nice to meet you here🌹🌹🌹
Hello,greetings my dear
The strength and courage it took for those ladies. Including Trudy to lay themselves bare on nationwide tv.
Shes a great artist
😮Thank you for helping us understand more about what can happen because of abuse.
I can’t believe social services tried to take her kid! Truly devious
This poor woman is crazy
I can not even finish watching this! heartbreaking courageous!
Kim Noble did a more recent interview with Vice (2018). It’s on UA-cam.
Greetings my dear
Nancy there's actually a woman out there with 2,500 personalities and you can see that here on the tube on the Australian version of 60 MINUTES
Kim has a phenomenal daughter. Wishing them the very best. ♥️🌹
This episode is ONE OF MANY REASONS I ADORE OPRAH...
OMG I can relate..tears are falling!!! God help her!
Those portraits are actually really pretty, tbh.
This is an amazing story God bless that daughter I don't know if that Mom is still alive but what a story I'll tell you and what a life God bless both of them
