Resumen del Editor

In this riveting memoir, renowned feminist Judy Rebick tells the story of the 11 personalities she developed in order to help her cope with and survive childhood sexual abuse. In Heroes in My Head, Rebick chronicles her struggle with depression in the 1980s, when she became a high-profile spokesperson for the pro-choice movement during the fight to legalize abortion. It was in the 1990s, when she took on her biggest challenge as a public figure by becoming president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, that her memories began to surface and became too persistent to ignore.

Rebick reveals her moment of discovery: meeting the 11 personalities, uncovering her repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse and then communicating with each personality in therapy and on the page in a journal - all of this while she is leading high-profile national struggles against a Conservative government.

Heroes in My Head is a fascinating, heartbreaking but ultimately empowering story. With courage and honesty, Rebick lays bare the public and private battles that have shaped her life.

Humble self brag

I wanted to hear another persons self story that lead to developing DID. There are so few stories or people to talk to about it.
This author just skirts the issue for hours. She is obviously a NOW boomer and shares her outdated political issues while continually avoiding anything that has to do with DID. She even avoids using the term DID and gives a long explanation that MPD was from her era so she’ll stick with it because of that. She is the epitome of boomer entertainment. She talks about traveling the planet on her father’s dime while side saying he abused her to the point of dissociating. I call bullshit on her. Entitlement and DID can not even live on the same page of a book.
95% of her book/story is about feminism and politics (which is important and cool) but has zero relevance to DID.
It feels like she is covering her DID with stories that 50 years later leave you with a nasty taste of entitlement. There are hours of her “poor me” stories as she travels the world on her dad’s dime, the same dad she throws under the bus of her abuse?

For those of us who do have DID, don’t buy this book. There’s something wrong with it that makes my Spidy Senses tingle. It’s that bad.

We listened to every minute hoping that something would ring as being valid but it never did. Not one single time.

Either they do not have DID, or do not have the foundation to speak to it, it’s not my place to say, but it’s 7 hours of our lives that we will never get back.

If you’re looking for hope and validation in your own personal story, go to Podcasts instead of audiobooks. There are 2 that hit the top 10 list and the peeps are very genuine, this author either is lying about having DID or they don’t know themselves enough to help you.

If you’re wanting the validation that we, “The DID’s” go watch “”Moon Knight.” It’s on Disney now.

Don’t waste your money. If you want to hear DID truths, watch episode 2 of the “Monster Inside” on Netflix.
