David, my inner tyrant | Mama Kin | TEDxPerth

[@Resilientmeee]

I found a great deal of healing in this. I can relate. Thank you.

[@YaminaBoase]

Wow! Ma favorite aspect about all this talk, is that you don't just "reject" David but learn to tame and live with him. Channeling all aspects of our personality at the right time and place is key, it's not about "repressing" anything. Anger can be a "go-getter", fear can sometimes protect us from real danger, it's not all "bad" like you said. I thought the kids animated movie Inside Out was great at showing children that they need all of their emotions, but that's all about collaboration (balance) and a roster of who's in control, when one becomes overly predominant, that's when trouble happens.... Thank you for your beautiful talk Danielle!

What incredible growth! 🌿👣

Wow, I got so much from your talk. It rang true in so many ways for me. I am 20 years married and I have acknowledged I need to allow myself to be vulnerable and hand over at times. I trust and love my husband so so much it was me that needed to...release. Thank you again.

Oh, Danielle, you are divine. Your David is totally in cahoots with my Wussy Willow and Defiant Desi. It is so nice to hear your beautiful truth. I always enjoy your stories at your live shows, and imagine we would be great friends. Maybe it's my uninvited alter ego's that recognise a kindred spirit. Much love to you and yours, bless you for the sharing xx

Thanks JB for bringing this to my attention! Very inspirational and bold, with great humour in her testimony.

Thank you for such an inspiring talk Danielle. It was a pleasure meeting you and John a few years ago in that little pub in Angel. A surreal evening, and one I will treasure for a long time.

I'm sure my comment (question) will be totally taken out of context...but... why was the alter ego - a tyrant - a male named David? This talk had so much good stuff....and I'll take that away, but I am really interested in that question?

[@drivenbythechills]

I wonder why she called this alterego David & not a female name... that's interesting & worrying at the same time, anything that's overpowering & dominant gotta be male? That says a lot of her own past trauma & relationship with men i think. I just hate when people identify whatever they got going on in their life with an identity, to me as soon as you do this, you've accepted the presence of something fabricated of your own doing or complicate a trait of personnality. This so called alterego named David, it's a fabrication from your mind to deal with your traumas or traits of your personnality or both, what people don't understand is you gotta understand where that come from exactly, the source of it, recognize it, understand it, digest it & move on. It only come from 2 sources : inner or outter (from your doing or from someone else doing on you or combinaison of both) & either way once you're understand where that come from only then you can move on. Putting labels on things of your life complicates them from their truth - humanity to something imaginary & that's where the bullsh¨t enters. Be real, here now, identify where it come from (yourself or with help), deal with it, understand & digest it & move on, people gotta understand & do this. Either a trait of personnality or past trauma association or both, just understand it exists & put it in the box like she said, that's a good thing to do but don't put labels on it, when you do that you complicate things for no reason, you don't need to name things to understand its there, our intelligence & brain is the best & worst thing that happened to us, it's a complex machine, don't complicate it even more is my point. Keep it simple but understood.
