DID Books - Tumblr Posts
Do you have any DID books? Especially fiction!!
Oh my gOSH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK THIS
AAAAAA, YES!!!!! Unfortunately I don’t have much fiction :(
Books we've read (and now own)
The Girl from the Treehouse & Beyond the Treehouse by Gudrun Frerichs (Women of our Time duo) - fiction, told from multiple perspectives in one body (MC is a DID system). Gudrun Frerichs is a retired a psychologist who worked with DID in NZ
The Girl in the Green Dress by Jeni Haynes & George Blair-West - non fiction
'I didn't know that you're only supposed to have one personality. I didn't realise that having lots of voices in your head was abnormal. But you are protecting yourself. You are protecting your soul, and that's what I did.'
All of Me by Kim Noble - non fiction
“It didn't matter that so much of what they said made logical sense- or that I couldn't find any more plausible alternatives. I didn't have multiple personalities, I just didn't - and that was that.”
We'll only buy books when we really love them; as is probably obvious by the number of sticky tabs in The Girl in The Green Dress..we've read it a lot.
I swear there were way more but they haven't been noted down and now I'm confused where they've gone 😭
