My memoir, Crazy: Reclaiming Life from the Shadow of Traumatic Memory, is the story of my discovery of and recovery from dissociative identity disorder (DID). My new book, due out in 2025, is It\u2019s Not About Forgiving, It\u2019s About Healing. I\u2019m also a retired teacher, school principal, and pastor.<\/p>\n

To further the use of writing for healing, I founded Dissociative Writers (DW) in 2021, to offer writing workshops for people with dissociative disorders. Because of the growth of this initiative, we are now in th process of becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit. A button that links to the DW website is located on my website.<\/p>\n

Out of DW, grew an interest in memoir, so I am now teaching a class in Beginners 101 Memoir for Dissociative Writers and offering Memoir Coaching for Dissociative Writers.<\/p>\n

Dissociative Identity Disorder is the most misunderstood diagnosis in mental health settings. According to a 2016 research study published in the Harvard Review of Psychology*, more than 1% of the population worldwide has dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder, caused by chronic childhood trauma. In the United States alone, with a population of 328,000,000, this means 3,280,000 people suffer from this protective coping strategy that was functional in childhood but becomes dysfunctional in adulthood. Experts say this number is probably an underestimate. Still, many clinicians misdiagnose people with DID or refuse to work with those who have been diagnosed.<\/p>\n

By claiming our voices and writing our stories, we are teaching the world what DID really is.<\/p>\n
