This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Shattered to Healed.Not many people would call multiple personality (dissociative identity) disorder a blessing, much less a gift from God. Sue Liston survived a nightmare childhood, a father in and out of mental hospitals, an unloving, abusive mother, molestation, and innumberable other traumas by locking them deep into her own mind and letting "others" deal with her pain. She succeeded so well that her adult life epitomized the American dream -- loving husband, beautiful children, productive career, luxurious home, popularity. Until those "others" reemerged in a terrifying series of alternate personalities. My Altered Self chronicles Sue Liston's battle for identity and sanity, a quest that eventually led her to the one Person who could heal her fractured self -- Jesus Christ. A story that transcends pain and fear to offer instead redemption, healing, and the absolute, wonderful assurance of a loving God and eternal hope.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in San Diego, Sue Liston graduated from San Diego State University with a teaching degree. She is a leader in Bible Study Fellowship. Married to a wonderful husband for more than fifty years, she has two daughters and four grandchildren whom she enjoys immensely. Along with teaching Bible studies and other volunteer work, Sue stays busy, happy, and healthy with her favorite hobbies of tennis, bridge, and gardening.
Book Synopsis Recovery is My Best Revenge by : Carolyn Spring
Download or read book Recovery is My Best Revenge written by Carolyn Spring and published by Pods Trauma Training Limited. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to live with dissociative identity disorder? How does the brain respond to chronic, extreme trauma? Is recovery possible from such suffering? In this combined first and second volumes of her collected essays, Carolyn Spring writes candidly from a number of perspectives about her experiences of living with trauma-related dissociation, and her journey of recovery over ten years. Topics covered include such as shame, denial, child sexual abuse, the complex meanings of 'madness' and the multi-layered subjective experience of a dissociative mind. It is a series of standalone chapters or essays which build on one another to provide not only a unique insight into trauma, attachment and dissociation, but also the long and arduous - but ultimately fulfilling - recovery journey. REVIEWS "A powerful, insightful read. Carolyn's honest, brave, intelligent and poetically written essays about living with and recovering from DID are a real gift. I read it from cover to cover, and then began all over again." "Superbly helpful. This book is excellent both as a resource for professionals and a helpful aid to accompany those recovering from trauma, from someone who has pieced their life back together. It's been one of the most helpful books for myself as someone recovering with DID to see so much of my confusion mirrored and explained and then reassured with options and working strategies." "Inspires hope. Beautifully and intelligently written, giving hope and optimism for the future for all trauma survivors, and a must read for therapists." "Inspiring. This book was both interesting and inspirational in both content and subject matter. Having heard the author teach, I can vouch for her eloquence as much in writing now as in her spoken word. Her message is one to be spread. Her experiences and journey of self-awareness and acceptance give others hope and therapists a unique insight into trauma work." "Beautiful. Such poignancy and elegantly written, an inspiration to recovery, its journey and what that can look like. Thank you - it's great to feel connected and seen." "Excellent. This is an amazing account and glimpse into the world of someone who suffers with dissociative identity disorder as a result of extreme childhood trauma and the recovery process. Excellently written, poignant, challenging at times. Wonderful insight into the therapeutic process from the client's perspective. I have gained so much from reading this. Highly recommended."

Download or read book The Sum of My Parts written by Olga Trujillo and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the first day of kindergarten, Olga Trujillo had already survived years of abuse and violent rape at the hands of her tyrannical father. Over the next ten years, she would develop the ability to numb herself to the constant abuse by splitting into distinct mental “parts.” Dissociative identity disorder (DID) had begun to take hold, protecting Olga’s mind from the tragic realities of her childhood. In The Sum of My Parts, Olga reveals her life story for the first time, chronicling her heroic journey from survivor to advocate and her remarkable recovery from DID. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, DID is defined by the presence of two or more identities. In this riveting story, Olga struggles to unearth memories from her childhood, and parallel identities—Olga at five years old, Olga at thirteen—come forth and demand to be healed. This brave, unforgettable memoir charts the author’s triumph over the most devastating conditions and will inspire anyone whose life has been affected by trauma.

Book Synopsis The Life of Fears by : Casey Winterburn
Download or read book The Life of Fears written by Casey Winterburn and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing from DID is intensely humiliating. Everything about it seems like a contradiction. DID is a survival mechanism. Without the identities created to cope, we would not have survived childhood. Therefore DID is supposedly considered a gift. Yet the very gift that helped you survive childhood is the very same thing that threatens to destroy you when the time comes for healing. And healing comes at the time in your life when you find a place of safety. At that time in life when you finally find a sense of freedom, a freedom to experience life as life should be. A time in life that you are so intensely grateful for, where you are so aware of the opportunities to experience that you have never had before. A time in life where you are aware your life has never been better. A time in life where the past can be the past. Except, the more you heal the more you become aware of the past and what it really entailed. Except the more you heal the more you realise how little control you have over your life. Where the more you heal makes you appear mentally ill. Its humiliating to witness, humiliating to experience and a state of being that is a simultaneous experience of excitement to live and desperation to die. Two opposing contradicting emotions where the only way to survive is by learning to disengage from yourself.

Book Synopsis Restoring the Shattered Self by : Heather Davediuk Gingrich
Download or read book Restoring the Shattered Self written by Heather Davediuk Gingrich and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every professional counselor will encounter clients with a history of complex trauma. Yet many counselors are not adequately prepared to help those suffering from complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), including survivors of child abuse, religious cult abuse, and domestic violence. A lack of consistent terminology in the field makes finding resources difficult, but without reliable training counselors risk inadvertently retraumatizing those they are trying to help. In this second edition of Restoring the Shattered Self, Heather Davediuk Gingrich provides an essential resource for Christian counselors to help fill the gap between their training and the realities of trauma-related work. Drawing on over thirty years of experience with complex trauma survivors in the United States, Canada, and the Philippines, she ably integrates the established research on trauma therapy with insights from her own experience and an intimate understanding of the special concerns related to Christian counseling. In addition to presenting a three-phase treatment model for C-PTSD based on Judith Herman's classic work, Gingrich addresses how to treat dissociative identity disorder clients, respond to survivors' spiritual issues, build resilience as a counselor in this taxing work, and empower churches to help in the healing process. This new edition is updated throughout to match the DSM-5 and includes new content on how the body responds to trauma, techniques for helping clients stay within the optimal zone of nervous system arousal, and additional summary sidebars. With this thoughtful guide, counselors and pastors will be equipped to provide the long-term help that complex trauma survivors need to live more abundantly. Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.
