The main character was abused as a child. She also abuses and neglects her own children, though in different ways. Her husband touches and speaks to her teenage girl alter in a sexual way.

There are two scenes where one of Tara's alters self harms on screen and blood is shown. The first scene is where she is writing her paper on somatization, and the self harm is stopped by Alice before much damage can be done or blood is shown. The second instance is during Charmaine's baby shower in the parking lot outside, and no one is able to prevent it. More blood is shown in this scene.

Tara's neighbor commits suicide. While his actions and methods are described, nothing is shown on screen. Later on, one of Dr. Hatteras's patients is shown to jump off a building, but him hitting the ground is not shown. It is implied that this was not a suicide attempt but rather a product of his delusion that he could fly, but it is stated that he succeeded and died.

The alter, Buck, calls the system's son a f*ggot among other homophobic/transmisogynistic slurs.

The show revolves around ableist stereotypes of people with DID (how we're abusive to the people around us, how ALL alters other than the 'host' are cartoonish caricatures who disturb the system's life, etc.) Also, the main character is subject to constant ableist sentiments ranging from ignorance to outright abuse.

The main character is often subjected to various degrees of ableist harassment. One of her alters is fond of calling people homophobic slurs, especially their son.
