Editorial Reviews

"Dissociative identity disorder is the reason why I am alive today. I am thankful and love everyone inside. They are my family." -AMANDA LINEBACK

"I spent my childhood living in fear of my home and fear of the outside world. There was no safe space to exist. The way I survived was by splitting off into different parts." -CRYSTALIE MATULEWICZ

"I fear being deemed crazy, stupid, weak, incapable, disabled, too much, not enough." -GAIL BUSWELL

"Most of us are so terrified of the day when we finally learn the truth of it all. How will we cope with that, and what do we do with that sort of information? It's terrifying. Knowing that our brain separated all of this off for a reason, but we have to remember at least some of it to be able to heal and move forward, is absolutely terrifying." -KATT HART

"Growing up, I always thought it was normal to lose time or have other people frequently mistake your name." - ALICIA PETTIS

"I worry that I will be left in a bed somewhere, and no one will understand that there is so much more going on inside me." -KERRYJANE VOTH
