A mesmerizing journey inside the mind and life of a victim of dissociative identity disorder (D.I.D). Christine Ducommun eloquently shares her story of her descent into madness, struggling to regain her sanity as four personalities vie for control of her mind and protect her from the demons of her childhood. A story of courage, healing, identity, hope, and love Christine Ducommun was a happily married wife and mother of two, when after returning to live in the house of her childhood she began to experience night terrors, a series of bizarre flashbacks, and "voices in her head." Eventually diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), Christine''s story details an extraordinary twelve year ordeal of coming to grips with the reemergence of competing personalities her mind had created to help her cling to life during her early years. Therapy helps to reveal the personalities, but Christine has much work to do to grasp their individual strengths and weaknesses and understand how each helped her cope and survive her childhood as well as the latent influences they''ve had in her adult life. Fully reawakened and present, the personalities struggle for control of Christine''s mind and her life tailspins into unimaginable chaos, leaving her to believe she may very well be losing the battle for her sanity. Christine''s only hope to regain heremotional stabilitywas to integrate each one''s emotional maturity while jettisoning the rest, until at last their chatter in her head could cease. Anyone who has ever questioned themselves whether for a day, a week or longer will find themselves in this stunning probe into the often secret landscape of the mind.
