Fear. Secrecy. Pain. These are just a few of the emotions affecting those who live with dissociative identity disorder. What is it like to live with dissociated parts of oneself? Who controls the chaos? What triggers a switch? How do they feel about integration?
In Through the Eyes of DID, ordinary people who live with dissociative identity disorder invite readers inside their world and open up to give honest—and sometimes profound—answers to common questions. Confessing struggles, fears, and hopes, the collection of heartfelt stories offers firsthand insight into the diversity of DID from nonclinical perspectives, and highlights the unexpected ways ordinary people find strength, courage, and hope even when bound by societal stigma.
