A Couple of Multiples: The Reality of Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder

This is such a genuine and meaningful podcast. As someone also working in the DID space, I really appreciate the care Garden System and Drew bring to all of their episodes. Their honest portrayals of their lived experience never feels sensationalized or simplified. They speak from their own experiences in a way that’s both real and responsible, and the addition of their guests has added even more depth and perspective over time. What stands out the most is this deep sense of mutual respect, both for the complexity of DID and for the broader community as a whole. It feels so collaborative—something this space needs more of. I recommend this podcast and their Hearts Multiplied Community to so many people and will continue to do so! I’m so grateful this podcast exists and for the voices they’re bringing into the conversation. 💜🫶🩷

This is my favorite podcast on DID because I relate so much to what the hosts share. Sometimes I feel my system is just to fantastical. I must be delusional —- even though I know dissociative identities are an incredibly CREATIVE coping mechanism used by young children. Drew and Garden System are candid and mirror to me the validity of these experiences I am having. I especially love their episodes on internal communication, denial, acceptance and authenticity. They are the definition of authentic and bringing hope to so many by sharing their voices.

If you are seeking a thoughtful, ethical, and clinically grounded podcast on living with dissociative identity disorder, this is one you should avoid. Drew and the “Garden System” present their podcast under the banner of lived experience, yet repeatedly drift into offering unsubstantiated and unqualified therapeutic guidance. While personal narratives can be powerful, the stories shared here are frequently framed in ways that risk misleading an already highly vulnerable audience. In my view, neither host demonstrates the level of stability, clinical insight, or professional maturity necessary to responsibly occupy this space. The “Garden System” positions herself as an expert, despite having completed a graduate social work program less than a year ago. That credential alone does not confer expertise, particularly in a complex and highly sensitive clinical area such as DID. Having listened to the podcast, I am deeply concerned for individuals who may interpret her confidence as authority—especially those who may be under her care. Beyond these ethical concerns, the podcast itself is poorly executed. The first season is delivered in a rigid, scripted manner that feels read verbatim from prepared notes, resulting in content that lacks authenticity, coherence, and conversational flow. The presentation is unprofessional, disjointed, and difficult to engage with, undermining any educational value it purports to offer. I strongly urge listeners not to contribute their time, attention, or financial support to this platform or its associated online community. The potential for harm is real. When vulnerable individuals are searching for understanding, validation, or hope, they deserve responsible voices—not ones that risk causing confusion, misinformation, or lasting damage. This podcast should not be amplified.

This podcast has helped me as I am newly diagnosed with DID. The hosts of the podcasts both have helped me navigate on a personal level and has made me feel so validated. There is so much good info on here professionally and on a personal journey from their prospectives with their experiences living with DID. Highly recommend. And thank you for giving us your time to help me and mine understand the ins and outs of DID. We appreciate you.
