Tyson talks with one of the inspirations for this podcast, Brian Pendergast, MA. They explore what it means to have multiple parts of the self, how multiplicity relates to trauma, and how it shows up in therapy. They also create a new tabletop RPG and discuss the infinitude of selves.
Brian is a Seattle area psychoanalyst and writer about multiplicity of self, multiple self-states, trauma, and personality.
