A compelling true story of one woman's battle with the aftermath of
childhood trauma, which gives a gripping account of the often
controversial and misunderstood condition of dissociative identity
disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder
(MPD). This emotional but ultimately uplifting journey details the
unforeseen twists and turns of the effects of therapy and how it
can help in coming to terms with the past and its unsettling echoes
in the present. Heartwarming and lucid, it's an inspiring tale for
all to read. Through its clinical rigour, professional therapists
will also gain insight into the various treatment options for DID,
including the innovative use of energy therapy. The book contains
32 colour illustrations, including 24 drawings by The Girls. The
star of this book is an extraordinary, bright-spirited, and
entertaining six-year-old girl, called Little Vivvi, who
experienced shocking abuse from members of her family. Yet Little
Vivvi lives within Vivian, a middle-aged woman who has struggled
with DID for many years. The challenging process of psychotherapy
is laid bare, as Little Vivvi wrestles with overwhelming memories
of childhood abuse. Alongside talking therapy, energy treatment,
which she calls Wooshing, is utilised to astonishing effect,
becoming the enigmatic ingredient that finally enables Little Vivvi
to find relief from the distress and fear that had dominated her
existence. As therapy seems to draw to a close, Izzy appears. A
very sensitive, thoughtful and mature eight-year-old, Izzy too
needs love, support and treatment to speak about her trauma. After
overcoming her understandable distrust, Izzy enables an exceptional
ending to the therapeutic journey, far beyond anything Vivian and
her therapist, Gill, could have dreamed. Little Vivvi and Izzy will
make you want to laugh out loud as well as cry. Their story teaches
so much about suffering, dissociation and survival. Their aim is to
enlighten, inspire and offer hope to others through reading their
incredible tales, which reveal the astonishing power of The Girls
within.
