Fascinating. Best explanation & description I have ever read about how it feels to have many “states” and how she interacted with them and, later, how they integrated. Also, the best explanation I’ve heard — in layman’s terms — about why it’s now DID and not multiple personality disorder anymore.
I appreciate that she focused on how DID kept her as mentally healthy as possible and not how it made her feel like a freak or basket case. Too often people concentrate on the mental "illness" and not the strength it took for the person to survive the unimaginable abuse they endured through any means possible.
Some parts of the therapy sessions were a little confusing and hard to read, but I completely understand why she wrote it that way, and it does give a deeper insight into those sessions.
Many thanks to Booktrovert (NetGalley) and Harbinger Publications for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
