Healing the Wounds
Uncovering Amy shares your experiences of being diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and working with Bryan Redfield using the brain training method to integrate your inner Parent, Adult, and Child into a single unified self. What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
It was incredibly important to me that I get across the frame of mind I was in when the whole situation began: Searching for answers outside of myself in every way I had available to me because I had no conception that there could be more going on INSIDE my own mind. I also wanted to be sure to give the reader hope: whether they suffered from a similar experience or not, there is a solution to bringing all parts of your mind together as one.
What was the most challenging part of writing your memoir, and what was the most rewarding?
The most challenging part of this was explaining the process I went through, because I feel that the only way someone can truly understand it is to go through it. This concept is not just about affirmations or subliminals or NLP; this is recognizing the multiple parts of your own personality and healing the wounds they’ve carried for your entire life so you can be reborn as the person you were always meant to be. It’s not a process everyone can handle.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your story?
I hope my book makes its way into the hands of those who need it most: the person who is afraid to be themselves, afraid of what society might do to them, and doesn’t know how to protect themselves from the abusers in the world. I want you to know: there is hope.

Uncovering Amy is Amelia South’s raw, unfiltered memoir of living with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) — and the radical, self-directed process she used to retrain her brain and reclaim internal control.
This is not a story of gentle healing. It is a firsthand account of internal wars, competing identities, and the desperate, sometimes dangerous attempts to make the chaos stop. Alcohol. Exorcisms. Extreme self-experimentation. Moments of terror. Moments of breakthrough. And the slow, deliberate work of learning how to lead a fractured inner world.
With a chapter by Bryan Redfield, her guide through the process, Uncovering Amy explores a structured framework for internal leadership — not surface-level coping, not spiritual bypassing, but the gritty, methodical reorganization of the mind from the inside out.
This book does not claim to be the only answer. It is one person’s documented path from psychological fragmentation to internal coordination. Along the way, it raises a provocative question: if a divided mind can learn to work together, what might that mean for the internal conflicts we all carry?
If you’re looking for comforting platitudes, this isn’t it.
If you’re ready for honesty, courage, and a story that challenges what you think is possible for the human mind — keep reading.
Uncovering Amy
Uncovering Amy follows herbalist and coach Amelia South as she tells the story of how she went from a chaotic, abusive childhood to a full-blown mental and spiritual crisis, then to what she calls “true mental health.” The book traces her early trauma, her toxic relationships, her heavy drinking, and her obsessive search for meaning in pagan and Indigenous spiritual traditions. From there she describes hearing an internal voice she names “Robert,” going through exorcisms, wrestling with the idea of schizophrenia or Dissociative Identity Disorder, and finally working with Bryan Redfield’s “Super Team” brain training method to integrate her inner Parent, Adult, and Child into a single unified self. The result is a hybrid of memoir, spiritual testimony, and lay self-help that argues DID is misunderstood and that her method can “cure” it.
The book feels raw and very direct. I felt like I was sitting across from someone who decided to tell me everything, swear words and all. The early chapters about her family, her stepfather’s cruelty, and her string of relationships have a blunt, almost confessional rhythm. Sometimes that worked really well for me. Her anger, shame, and loneliness come through in plain, sharp lines, and I could feel the teenage girl who learned her worth was tied to her body and her usefulness to men. At other points, the storytelling meanders. Scenes with drum circles, graveyard visits, and spiritual chats sometimes pile up.
I admire the courage it takes to frame your own mind as “broken,” lay out the ugliest moments, then insist that healing is possible and that you are living proof. Her focus on self-responsibility, on ending generational harm, and on giving tenderness to the scared inner child felt powerful. The way she gradually recognizes “Robert” as Amy, her young self, and then starts to love that part instead of fighting it, hit me in the gut in a good way. She is confident that the Super Team method works every time, and very sure that DID can be resolved if you do the work she describes. There is also a mix of spiritual explanations, dowsing rods, ancestors, demons, and telepathy.
I believe that Amelia is telling the truth as she understands it, and I respect the sheer effort it took for her to claw her way out of despair and claim a life that feels stable and whole. I also think this book works best as a personal testimony. I would recommend Uncovering Amy to readers who like spiritual memoirs, people interested in alternative or experiential approaches to healing, and survivors who may feel less alone seeing their own confusion and rage mirrored on the page. For me, it is a raw, messy, and relatable story that can spark reflection and hope.
