Taylor is displaying symptoms of dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. When she suddenly starts talking in a different voice, claiming to be a male personality who remembers the abuse, it indicates a dissociation or separation of different parts of her identity. This is a common symptom of dissociative identity disorder where a person may have different personalities or identities (called alters) that may appear spontaneously, each with their unique set of memories, behaviors, and emotions. The person may not have any memory of these alternate personalities or the events that occurred when they were in control.
