Episode 11 of MeDIDa is a very special episode, where I review the memoir The Girl in the Green Dress, and speak one-on-one with Dr. Jeni Haynes about her book and recent documentary, We Are Jeni (review and second part of the interview coming soon)!

The Girl in the Green Dress is a memoir, published in 2022 by Hachette Australia, is co-written by Dr George Blair-West, who treated Jeni for many years. It has also just recently been released as an audiobook, narrated by Jeni Haynes! The book chronicles Jeni’s life, including the abuse she experienced at the hands of her father throughout her childhood and how this childhood formed her complex system of over 2,500 alters, and goes on to tell her journey of justice, holding her father legally accountable for his crimes, and healing.
