Heche stated she was "
insane" for the first 31 years of her life, and that this was triggered by being sexually abused by her father during her infancy and childhood.
[79][80] In a series of interviews with
Barbara Walters,
Matt Lauer, and
Larry King to promote
Call Me Crazy in 2001, Heche stated on national television that she created a fantasy world called the "Fourth Dimension" to make herself feel safe, and had an alter ego who was the daughter of God and half-sister of
Jesus Christ named "Celestia", who had contacts with
extraterrestrial life forms.
[76][81] Heche said she recovered from her mental health concerns following the incident in Cantua Creek and has put her
alter ego behind her.
