Dr Jeni Haynes

We're not bizarre and we're not mentally ill.

We are people.

Humans who have experienced the worst kinds of trauma, the worst kinds of abuse at the hands of people who were supposed to protect us.

And if I can get everybody to understand that, then the world is a different place.

I'm Dr Jenny Haynes.

I have multiple personalities.

So you're going to meet Jenny Haynes plus today.

I never knew that MPD DID was going to be the story.

I never knew I was going to be the story.

We won MPD.

We testified in our own altar voices.

It was the first time ever.

So I have multiple personality disorder, which is the term I prefer.

I know the current one is dissociated identities, but with 2,682 voices in my head,

I'll stick to the multiple personalities, thanks.

So for me, living in the world, I am never alone.

I always have people chatting to me.

Even if I'm sitting in the house on my own, me and my dog, there's lots of conversations going on at the same time because my alter personalities, in essence, do parts of the human experience for me.

Oh, sure.

So I am what we call the front runner.
