Dr Jeni Haynes Created 2681 Personalities To Survive Her Abusive Father

Riveting stories. Fascinating lives. From the Mamamia Podcast Network, Australia's #1 interview podcast with Kate Langbroek. Dr Jeni Haynes survived years of horrific abuse by creating what she describes as 2,682 personalities — voices and protectors who helped carry trauma, fear, and survival. In 2019, she became the first person in Australian legal history to have those personalities accepted as evidence in a criminal trial against her father. Now the subject of the documentary We Are Jeni, Jeni joins Kate Langbroek for an extraordinary conversation about trauma, memory, resilience, and survival. We Are Jeni premieres on Sunday 7 June 2026 at 7:30 PM on SBS or stream on SBS On Demand.
