The Phantom Self: Dealing with Identity Loss in Witness Protection

from Witness Protection Blues · host Neon Nights

This episode delves into the profound psychological impact of losing one's identity in the witness protection program. We explore the struggle of living as a 'phantom self', the emotional toll it takes, and the coping mechanisms used by individuals to reconcile with their new identities. Featuring interviews with psychologists and individuals who have lived through this experience, we aim to shed light on this rarely discussed aspect of witness protection.
