AJ Mouse

What an exceptional book!
Confronting and honest, 'Alternatives to a Frozen Mouse' opens up the world of Dissociative Identity Order (D.I.D) to the uninitiated. At times I felt quite emotional reading this book. I empathised with the pain and frustration of the alters, recognising their united front in protecting little Mouse, who created them after terrible abuse, just so she could survive in the world.
Thank you for sharing your story A.J. Mouse, it really opened my eyes (and heart) to D.I.D.… (plus d'informations)

The author of Alternatives to a Frozen Mouse, AJ Mouse suffers from DID, or Dissociative Identity Disorder. The main sufferer is named Jade, but the author has nine other alter personalities that are part of her and help her lead a semi-normal life. The book is written from the viewpoints of Jade and Anne, who is a newer alter personality. This is a challenging book, mostly in just trying to keep track of who is speaking. The purpose of the book appears to be a cry to understand that many mental disorders exist because of childhood trauma. In this way, for the author, she has created all of these different personalities to cope with a horrible childhood. The alter personality of Anne, acts as a conduit, encouraging all of the personalities to voice their feelings, concerns, and personalities. A difficult book to read, this very open and honest book may help those who suffer from mental illness to realize they are just like anyone else, not monsters, just different. Highly recommend.… (plus d'informations)
