    DR JENI HAYNES: How Her 2,681 Personalities Helped Her Find Justice

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of child sexual abuse. Help is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service on 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) and Lifeline on 13 11 14. Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) has long been misrepresented and misunderstood, but Dr Jeni Haynes is here to change that. In 2019, she made international headlines when she testified against her father, who was the perpetrator of years of sexual, physical and psychological abuse upon her. It was the first time in the Australian legal system to accept testimony from alters within a person living with DID was accepted as evidence in a criminal prosecution. Since her landmark case, Jeni has co-authored a memoir, and is the subject of a new feature-length documentary 'We Are Jeni'. Abbie sits down with Dr Jeni to discuss why she still identifies with the term MPD (but disagrees with the disorder part), how her alters make decisions, and her journey from not being believed to finding justice.

    LILY SCHUBERT: "I Spent Six Years Totally Bedbound"

    CW: This episode contains discussions of mental ill-health, chronic illness, and suicidality. If this raises any issues for you help is available 24/7 via Lifeline at https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or by calling 13 11 14, as well as Beyond Blue at 1300 224 636 or https://www.beyondblue.org.au. At just 16 years old Lily Schubert got sick, eventually receiving a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. She was forced to drop out of school and was bedbound for six years. Her condition worsened to the point that even small exposures to light, sound, or touch would cause severe crashes. As her symptoms started to improve, she started documenting her life on TikTok, with videos of her 'firsts' reaching millions of people around the world. Lily sits down with Abbie to talk about the reality of living with ME, what helped her get through her darkest days, and why she doesn't subscribe to the 'gratitude' narrative.
