Jessica Pierfelice

Bio

Jessica and Anne have been together for 25+ years and live on a farm in Ohio with their cats, dogs, fish, chickens, cows, and honeybees. Anne has known they were a survivor since around 1992 and was diagnosed with DID in 2015. After attending the 2024 conference, they realized they were also a survivor of ritual abuse. Jessica knowingly met Anne’s first part around 2015; in hindsight, she had interacted with multiple parts before without realizing it. The diagnosis brought clarity to many aspects of their lives. They now know of eight parts with different identities and ages. Jessica and Anne have attended the Healing Together conference since 2019 and have each presented individually, but never as a pair. Anne’s favorite quote from Terminator 2 is, “The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.”
