Jane Hart is a 28-year-old loving mother, author, speaker, and mental health activist. Born and raised in Boise, ID; Jane currently resides there with her two beautiful sons. Three years ago, Jane was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, which has impacted her life in ways that she didn’t. could never have imagined. One of the exclusive causes of DID is the repeated childhood trauma that Jane sadly suffered throughout her life. Calling herself "a human information sponge," Jane has spent countless hours researching the effects of trauma on the brain and learning as much as she can about DID in the hopes of helping others.
Receiving her diagnosis was difficult for Jane both mentally and physically, but sharing her condition with a close friend was a turning point for her. Despite their close relationship, her friend assumed that Jane was dangerous; damaging their friendship and leaving a lasting impact on Jane. This pivotal point in her life inspired Jane to shine a light on the cause of the decreasing stigma of mental illness, especially those living with DID.
In June 2016, Jane wrote an article sharing her knowledge of TDI and her personal struggle which led to an opportunity to speak on a well-known psychology podcast "Shrink Rap Radio". This opportunity led to a life changing journey; the opportunity to tell his life with TDI in the new documentary series titled "Many Sides of Jane" airing on A&E. Under the guidance of her therapist, Jane has currently identified over nine distinct identities or "parts" (as Jane calls them) and she is working to unravel the mysteries surrounding her trauma and find internal harmony between its many sides.
By agreeing to be a part of this rare and raw series, Jane made a promise to herself to be 100% open, real, and honest, letting the world see that those with DID still have the same hopes and dreams as everyone else. world. Jane's goal in opening her life to the cameras is not only to erase misconceptions about this highly stigmatized disorder, but also to normalize mental illness and spread the truth about the silent epidemic of child abuse and its consequences. lasting effects on the human brain. Jane believes there is power in sharing her story and her mission is to help others realize that mental health is just as important as physical health. Those who suffer from DID are special, intelligent and unique; they deserve compassion, kindness and understanding. "
