Description
 
The last two decades have seen increasing numbers of ritual abuse survivors seeking help. They join the ranks of other victims of severe childhood abuse who could only cope with these horrific realities by splitting themselves into multiple identities.

Bearing the diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) too often leaves them feeling isolated in a world that has no “box” in which to fit them. Acceptance usually requires that they hide behind artificial masks, trying their best to conceal the dynamics of who they really are and the struggles so prevalent in their lives.

This book is an effort on my part to help bridge this information gap, building understanding that will hopefully result in greater support for those who are courageously fighting to reclaim lives shattered by unspeakable evil.
