Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison unpacks soul integration: 35+ years in psychology, supporting stepdaughter w/ Smith-Magenis syndrome sparked ND focus; befriending unhoused intersex Sean/a (schizophrenia, 8 years on cardboard—now empowered via GoFundMe/advocacy) inspired I, Sean/a: The Story of a Homeless Intersex Woman Who Inspired a Community. DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder): Childhood trauma splits (behaviors/sensations/emotions/knowledge) for survival—somatic tools (body holds score), spiritual protection (near-death-like out-of-body). Energy for ND: Tune vibes (headphones/silence for decompression, power walks for release), protect via boundaries/allies (quantum non-local influence). Surviving vs. thriving: Claim 'genius pockets' (e.g., Disney for processing), gratitude resets (thank breath/pillows—builds from small wins). For late-dx adults forgiving meltdowns/triggers, parents fostering safety, or allies ending stigma (intersex rights, no non-consensual surgery), Kirsten's 'we all mask—find your light' flips shame to authenticity.
