Go Talk to the Lady: Walking on Eggshells Around People with Multiple Personalities
🎙️ Episode Title: Go Talk to the Lady: Walking on Eggshells Around People with Multiple Personalities
Host: Tina White | The Trigger and The Truth Podcast
Overview:
We’ve all heard it—“Go talk to the lady.” Sometimes whispered in the background. Sometimes said with a side-eye or a smirk. But underneath that phrase lies a deep, unspoken truth: prayer was offered as a cure-all, even when we were drowning in silence, trauma, and suppressed pain.
In this powerful episode, Tina White strips away the stigma and dives into what it really means to take your healing seriously. Because sometimes, prayer needs a partner—and that partner is therapy.
In this episode of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White opens up a deeper conversation about what it really means when someone says, “I feel like I’m not myself.”
We’re talking about dissociation, fragmented identity, and what our community often calls “multiple personalities”—but rarely takes the time to understand.
Tina breaks down the difference between a mental breakdown and a protection mechanism, the cultural shame around mental illness, and the healing that happens when we finally give every version of ourselves a seat at the table.
This isn’t about labeling—it’s about liberation.
