The Split Subject

The "Split Subject" refers to a concept in psychology and philosophy where an individual's sense of self is divided into separate parts or identities. This division can result from internal conflicts, trauma, or mental health conditions, leading a person to experience themselves as multiple "selves" rather than a unified whole. It highlights how our perceptions of who we are can be complex and layered, sometimes conflicting, influencing behavior and emotions. In essence, it describes the phenomenon of feeling internally fractured, with different aspects of the self operating separately.
