Dissociative Identity Disorder: Life with Over 30 Parts
01:03:46
Dissociative identity disorder, previously called multiple personality disorder, is a condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states, or "alters." The disorder arises as a response to childhood trauma — each alter may have a unique name, personal history, and characteristics. To learn more about DID, we're joined by Ella, who lives with over 30 alters. They tell Eileen about their diagnosis, life with alternate personalities, and how they've used Instagram to debunk myths around DID. Ella is also the author of a non-fiction guide book to DID and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD), which will be released this May through Jessica Kingsley Publishers. You can follow them on Instagram at @dissociation.info.

The Man Who Fought Chevron: Steven Donziger on Climate Change, House Arrest, and Keeping His Sanity
01:07:57
Steven Donziger is an American attorney known for his legal battles with Chevron. In his most famous case, Aguinda v. Texaco, Inc, he represented over 30,000 farmers and indigenous people in Ecuador, who suffered environmental damage and health issues caused by oil drilling. The Ecuadorian court ordered Chevron to pay over $9 billion in damages, which led Chevron to withdraw its assets from Ecuador and launch legal action against Donziger in the US. In the end, he was disbarred, sentenced to prison time, and spent 993 days under house arrest. Eileen and Donziger discuss what led him to Ecuador in the first place, climate change and mental health, how to fight big corporations, and what to do when you feel the whole world is conspiring against you. Visit freedonziger.com to learn more about his case and donate to his legal defense fund.
