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 😭

We have been working on collecting all our trauma and mental health books into one Goodreads shelf - it's taking a while but here's a link anyway
Feel free to reply or reblog with more recommendations! We’re always looking for more DID books (or just general mental health or just book reccs y'all, hit us with 'em)
heyo mate !! js wondering - the book ur reading rn (the body keeps the score) did yall buy it or was it a part of the kindle unlimited thingy?? /gq /nfta tysm if u do answer :3
It's not on Kindle Unlimited, as much as I wish it was! We do own a paper copy (as of ten minutes ago), but the version were reading on Kindle was found as a PDF free online, just dropped it onto our kindle. (Do that safety though, please. Make sure you have an antivirus and scan all your downloads, a lot of torrent sites are a one way street to getting a virus).
Audible has it and it can be purchased with audible credits.
My broke ass can't afford psych textbooks lolll - 🏴☠️🦜
happy to flick the PDF version through to anyone via discord/email or a sending a link on Tumblr :) same goes for the PDF version and link to The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization (2006) written by the author who coined the Structural Disassociation theory and surrounding termology.
