How does identity become divided in the first place?
Building on Episode 1, Dr. David Schlosz explores the developmental origins of fragmentation. Through attachment theory, the identity-based trauma lens of Laurence Heller’s NARM, and contemporary neuroscience, he examines how survival strategies become personality.
This episode unpacks how shame silences parts of the self, how nervous system states shape identity expression, and how early relational environments organize internal experience.
Fragmentation is not random. It is structured adaptation.
Understanding that structure is the first step toward integration.
