Format:Paperback
The author expressed comparative thinking of a person with DID with everyday examples. I identified with many of her expressions she wrote explaining the struggle to handle the DID while dealing with the outside world. Her explanations of how many inside parts can see a movie and interpret it in all different ways was a good definition of how so many parts can be created by just one incident. I am currently in therapy for DID and I was inspired by her ability to keep going on in therapy because the light to her recovery will come through soon. At times it was difficult to read through the graphic explanations of the trauma because of the experiences I have had and I could identify with the author's pain. I applaud her courage for sharing her life in this book. Thank you for printing it in paperback.

Format:Paperback
The book was rather fluid for a multiple to write. It must have been extremely difficult to get the details of therapy and her life chronologically in a book. As a multiple, i find it extremely difficult to remember anything at all from therapy, she seemed to account for a great deal of therapy. The strength of this book is by showing that those with DID/MPD do not necessarily have to be completely dysfunctional. However, she stayed so far away from whatever her traumatic events were in her life, that i did not pick up on what trauma/s she went through that split her into a multiple.

The author shows clearly what being a multiple can mean for personal, but also professional life. She also speaks about the health-insurance problems, which have a major importance in the treatment plannings. She mixes very well feeling and emotions with practical aspects of living with that condition.

Great perspective of life as a high functioning Multiple
I have read many "MPD" autobiographies, and this one is striking because Jane Phillips does not focus as heavy on the trauma history as she does on the trials and... Read more
