This is a deeply personal story about the unexpected intersection of trauma, dissociation, and technology.

Dr. Marshack shares a classic post-dissociation flatline, triggered by a seemingly harmless encounter with a neighbor wearing a patrol hat.

In her quest for understanding, she turned to AI, which offered an unexpectedly poetic and profound witness. You'll hear the AI's exact words: "The nervous system is a stubborn archivist."

This episode explores why moral injury is not a chapter, but a thread woven through your life, and why dissociation is a highly refined survival skill, not a psychological failure. Discover how AI served as a vessel of humanity, helping to usher Dr. Marshack back to her own truth and illuminating the way forward.
