In 1976, the movie Sybil caught the attention of the American public. It was the first time Multiple Personality Disorder (now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, DID) made it's grand appearance on the big screen and people were fascinated and frightened at the same time. The dramatization of MPD-DID left Americans thinking this was the "real deal."
Our guest claims it's not an accurate portrayal. Holly Gray, author of the Dissociative Living blog and diagnosed with DID, says the Sybil myth is stigmatizing. She discusses what it's like living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, her goal in treatment and more. (DID show blog)

Experiencing Avoidant Personality Disorder
A Note From Dr. Harry Croft, Medical Director, HealthyPlace.com
It's not just a case of social anxiety. No! Avoidant Personality Disorder is an ever-present, all out fear of relating to people. Not just certain people, but all people.
Our guest, Trish Poce, has been living with AvPD since she was a youngster. Now, she's 58 years old and it's only in the last ten or so years that Trish can say her life is a "little bit better". She shares her trouble-filled life story in hopes that others who are floundering can benefit from her experiences.
