In this episode, we sit down with the incredible System of Gardens and Flowers—a French polyfragmented system of over 900 parts and a RAMCOA survivor—to explore what it really means to live, work, and heal while navigating complex dissociation and programming.
Together, we explore:
* How they discovered they were a system and began mapping 900+ parts (00:02:03)
* The difference between “parts” and “fragments”—and how they manage internal communication (00:04:10)
* What it’s like to be out at work as legal counsel while managing internal dynamics (00:16:00)
* How programming shows up in everyday life (and what helps dismantle it) (00:23:00)
* The real-life emotional toll of navigating therapy, memory loss, grief, and trauma (00:24:00)
* Why love, compassion, and community are lifelines in recovery (00:40:00)
This is a deeply human, unflinchingly honest, and profoundly hopeful conversation. Whether you're a provider, a survivor, or a fellow system, we hope you'll feel seen here.
