Fractured Mind

Fractured Mind: The Healing of a Person with Dissociative Identity Disorder portrays a person's journey from violence to redemption and healing. It is a heart-wrenching story of horror, pain, acceptance, and hope. Warning: this book is for adults only due to explanations of sexual and physical violence causing dissociation at an early age.Helped by intensive EMDR psychological therapy, Debra's subconscious peels away layer-by-layer, revealing horrific trauma caused by her parents at a very young age. Her damage was so severe, the foundation of her psyche had to be remade. The reader will follow Debra as she reveals an unusually close relationship with God and what she calls the "Other Realm." The story witnesses the love and comfort of God, but it also tells of God's wisdom and justice. Debra brings her relationship with her God to life in the book and that relationship seems as real as any relationship with a loving, guiding, parent.Debra writes a narrative throughout the book, but the main writing style is an authentic email dialogue between her "parts" and Bruce. Bruce's wisdom and spiritual understanding lend an amazing perspective on the struggles of healing from violence. Dissociative Identity Disorder is not a mental illness, but a disorder. (Many years ago, DID was called Multiple Personality Disorder.) The healing has released her of her trauma. She is no longer bound by the violence of her past.This printed edition is a shorter version than the ebook.
