This episode explores the concept of fragmented personalities in trauma survivors from a neurobiological perspective. Drawing on Janina Fisher’s work, it explains how neural networks form different personality parts as adaptive responses to trauma. The discussion covers survival responses, the development of a “get shit done” personality, and how understanding these mechanisms can reduce self-blame and shame. This framework offers a new way to interpret seemingly contradictory behaviors and emotions in trauma survivors, potentially aiding in recovery and self-compassion.
