About this audiobook
Hello.
My name is Galina. At thirty-five, I was diagnosed with dissociative personality disorder. In books and films, this disorder is referred to as multiple personality disorder. I am a journalist and essayist. In the story Immersion I will share my experience of what life with five personalities is like, as well as how I got into a sect, but was able to leave it on my own. But mainly the book is about my resistance to illness, about how to defeat the brain, how to integrate myself into society, find a way to enjoy life in any circumstances.
