“My first conference in 2017, I attended as a therapist. I was shy, scared, and unable to tell anyone that I was also a system. But I met Olga Trujillo, who wrote Sum of My Parts, and a few years later Jamie Marich who wrote Dissociation Made Simple — and both changed my life. They taught me I didn’t need to carry shame, and little by little, I became proud of my system of parts.
This year, being able to help newer DID folks feel that same freedom through my book feels like a full-circle miracle. I’m so grateful, and believe more than ever that service is justice — and inspiring others to be free is one of the most powerful ways to heal.
Thank you, An Infinite Mind and Jaime Pollack, for creating such a beautiful opportunity for healing in our community. Being able to give back is a wonderful gift!”
