Special Episode Drop!
In one of my most favorite episodes to date, I'm talking with Lucifer O'Shea, the host of the 'did it' system! Lucifer just recently came out openly about living with DID and has such beautiful and thoughtful insights to share about their journey.
Immediately, you'll get a sense of Lucifer when they tell you how "our disorder is creating our own, new, order." In a world that dramatizes people living with DID, Lucifer offers a vulnerable and intimate look into what it's like living with DID, and their system of alters. We dive into Lucifer's inner world, where the alters are together before stepping forward, self-care for their system, recognizing and learning from each of the alters, and navigating the world together.
We each speak candidly about our individual alters, how sweating and switching is incredibly common due to the response from the body, the individual journey of EMDR therapy, what safety means to us when living with DID, and how it's absolutely okay to hide the snacks. Listen in to find out why!
We hope you marinate in this episode, filled with amazing ideas, hopes, and dreams - where those living with DID know that what we have is a multiverse, all combined into one universe: ourselves.
Lucifer O’Shea is 36 and the host of the ’did it’ system. They live in London, UK and they have 9 alters, some who have been high achieving. Tubz was a very good football player, captain, and on first team for his age group and played for year above also. He was quick, little, and low centre of gravity also was used for rugby because he could not be caught, but only the last 15 mins of the game because he could not tackle. Tobie was into competitive trampolining and came in 2nd in all of the Southwest of England. Tobias Mead aka T, was a successful dancer, dancing for the biggest artists like Coldplay and Taylor Swift. They also got to the final of "Britain’s Got Talent" and won a TV show called “Got to Dance” and was then flown to USA and was interviewed and performed on The Ellen DeGeneres show. O’Shea is an award winning barber and they currently do that as their day job. They are grateful they have been a part of things achieved that they would not have been able to do without their system.
