In this profoundly moving episode, actress and mental health activist AnnaLynne McCord joins me to share her journey of healing from complex trauma and living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)- a diagnosis that stems from her experiences of severe childhood sexual abuse.

Together, we explore the layers of AnnaLynne’s healing process. We talk about how an experience on set in 90210 added to the unravelling of her story - how therapy became a lifeline, how inner child work helped her begin to reconnect with fractured parts of herself, and what it truly meant to surrender to the truth of her story - not to be defined by it, but to transform through it.

We talk about what DID actually is - beyond the stigma and misunderstanding - and how it emerged as a survival response to unthinkable pain.

AnnaLynne also opens up about the work it took to move through shame, release the need to "perform" healing, and give herself permission to feel, grieve, and ultimately reclaim her life.

She shares intimately about:
• Her childhood and the protective roles her mind developed
• The pivotal role of therapy in helping her name and integrate her experiences
• Her relationship with her inner child and the parts of her that still needed love
• The painful, nonlinear journey of healing from the past without being stuck in it
• What it has meant to come home to herself - piece by piece
• And she answers powerful listener questions with rawness and grace

This is a conversation about trauma, yes - but more than that, it’s about truth and the courage it takes to look at your own story.
