Julia

One Woman, Multiple Personalities, One Committed Therapist.

De: Martin Wade

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Multiple Personality Disorder is real. 'Julia' portrays the raw path of Multiple Personality Disorder, now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This journey is shared by the author and the client ‘Julia’ through the process of therapy, originally for the treatment of anxiety. The initial consultations develop unwittingly into a relationship of deep mutual trust and respect which blur the lines between patient and client. When Julia acknowledges she has a voice talking above the noise in her head, the real work begins. It is not long before a person appears from nowhere, surprising Julia and the therapist. Many more follow over a period of two and a half years. This turns into an expedition of discovery traveled by everyone, with the ultimate sole purpose of providing a place of safety and understanding. The journey concludes with an emotional and heart warming resolution.

Informative and Relatable

This virtual narration was better than some others, but still makes mistakes and is not as good as a human reader. The content of the book itself was well-written and I am so grateful for Julia and Martin for sharing it. Having the same diagnosis as Julia, it was great, although heartbreaking, to find another whose experience of DID is similar to my own. The account seems matter-of-fact and not sensationalized. I can relate to parts of the "outside the box" therapy needed as well. Thank you for putting this out into the world.
