I have to save me, no one else can do it for me.” For years the Troops created a world where she could hide from the pain of the ritualized sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her own stepfather—abuse that began when she was only two years old. It was a past that Truddi didn’t even know existed, until she and her therapist took a journey to where the nightmare began…

If you're at all interested in psychology and the potential of the human psyche to both splinter and protect itself, then you should read this book. It is not the writing that is difficult to read it is witnessing, even through the written word, the experience of the writer. In my experience you won't learn that from watching and/or reading of others' experience, sensationalized to sell or not. The Buffer: A Troop who stands between the others and the world to absorb and blunt stimulus that might cause pain.Wolk, Douglas (August 21, 2014).

Arc Words: "For you, there isn't any more" — the Troops often say this to the woman. "It won't be long now" — the stepfather used to say this and the Troops regard it as a loathsome phrase. For some reason, though, I didn't want to look up Truddi Chase until after I finished the book. I guess I needed to come to terms with the story on my own, which was difficult, because it really read like a science-fiction novel, just like Dr. Phillips warns in the intro.

I really don't know if I can believe it or not....If it's true, then it's definitely one of the most harrowing and disturbing stories I have ever read, and if it's not, it's some damned convincing writing.

I have never seen such a credible, factual movie created so in sync (almost word for word) with the book which it was based on, "When Rabbit Howls", written by Truddi Chase. This is where the film falls down. If you were to make the film from the book it would have a R18 rating. Because this is a bad tv movie it totally avoids the abuse. Only implying 1/10th of the horror that Chase had to live through. To compensate for this the director has turned the film into crap. Johnson does not have the balls to represent the material accurately. I would call this film cowardly because it avoids the material to fit a rating. The fact that Chase herself is part of the writing team is depressing. Didn't her troops realize that they were making crap? The film should be renamed 'a multiple in the world of the young and the restless!' a b c d Stark, Elizabeth. "Inside the Mind of a Multiple". Psychology Today .

I was diagnosed with DID in 1998 and have made the conscious choice not to intentionally integrate, although will not stand in the way of the blending or merging of insiders if that were to occur naturally. What I do know: I am a multiple (unclear if I officially fit the criteria for DID but am most definitely a multiple) and I am also high-functioning. I hold a really high-powered position in my field. My success? Most definitely related to being a multiple.

Stanley, I know you're comfortable telling the woman that she lives in two separate worlds, ours and reality, the latter of which I assume is your reality, too. But have you ever wondered how real your world actually is? As you sit there, you perceive things in a certain way and assume all of it is real. That's only natural; it's your frame of reference. But how can you be sure that another world doesn't truly exist wherein your reality, as you perceive it, is just as ridiculous, or at least as strange, as you perceive ours to be? Once I had resolved to just read and decide how I felt about it later, it was completely engrossing. My heart went out to Truddi and " the woman" and Elvira, and Lamb Chop, and I adored Twelve and Miss Wonderful, and Mean Joe. I hated the stepfather and although I know in my head that it would be wrong to kill him, I am not positive that I would not have done it, myself. I was also continually impressed by Dr. Phillips' kindness and acceptance and willingness to understand. That is not something you can learn in Psych 101. If he wasn't born with that kind of understanding, he worked and sweated and suffered to earn it. As a story, it held my attention.

Multiplicity is all about this kind of reality. We cannot prove empirically that what we experience is real, actual; yet it is real nonetheless. The Troops talk about this in the section where they criticise Stanley for his notion that Mean Joe only exists in the woman's mind:The Woman may be the primary example of this, having no name of her own since it turns out she's only an empty facade to present to the world. The Voiceless: Rabbit only screams in pain and horror. Toward the end of the book she begins to communicate with the others. It is a book that will always have a place of honor on my bookshelves because it is a book of true heroism and filled with hope.
