VSC Podcast Episode 113 - DID and Moon Knight

With the new Marvel show Moon Knight, Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID is being talked about a lot in the media, but is it a proper representation? In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, join VSC Education Coordinator Emilie Mitchell as she chats with VSC therapist Michelle Langrock and Jen who has DID along with her partner Sarah as they dispel myths around this Mental Health Condition, how it is related to trauma, how well Moon Knight represented DID, and ways we can be better allies and supporters.

Michelle Langrock uses she/her pronouns and is one of our therapists at the VSC. Michelle recently attended Rollins College and completed her Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Certificate in Family and Relationship Therapy. She is passionate about serving the community in a way that promotes individual healing and growth, fosters fulfilling interpersonal relationships, and increases social equality.

Jen uses she/her/they/them/he/him pronouns and is a DID system of 18. She has been working toward functional multiplicity since discovering her system four years ago. As part of her work she hopes to bring awareness about DID through sharing her journey with her local community as well as on social media.

Sarah uses she/her pronouns and is Jen's partner, supporter and a fierce advocate for the DID community, as well as for fellow supporters of loved ones with DID. She is a peer educator who teaches about DID and dispels myths so that it can be better understood and more healing can happen.
