Inner Friends of an Unusual Girl

Personal Essays about Dissociative Identity Disorder and Complex Trauma

My story explores are how humans experience re-traumatization after childhood trauma because you are more vulnerable to experience trauma again if you're already a suvivor! I also discuss how I developed dissociative identity disorder meaning my psyche created different alters with their own traits and personalities to help me cope with the trauma. I still have most of my alters to this day. So this book is both a book I write to heal, and to educate others on DID.

Content Warning
Moderate to severe descriptions of my experiences of past (childhood) physical/emotional/sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, mental illness, quite heavy descriptions of violence/violent behavior and mild to moderate descriptions of consensual sexual activity as well. My story also contains on ableism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexual violence/torture, forced hospitalization, children's care homes and gaslighting. I can have forget about some things, so my advice is to proceed with the caution you need. If you need to take a pause, or stop reading after you've already started, that's totally fine!
