Concussion vs PTSD – An Epiphany
This past August I was rear ended while on vacation in Hawaii. There were three of us involved, but I was by far the oldest; the other two were fine. I immediately felt “off” but wasn’t sure if I was injured. Turned out I had sustained a concussion and my brain would continue to swell […]

" Thank you to Netgalley for the E-Arc!
Though immediately drawn in by the warmth and familiarity in referencing Mary Oliver’s Wild Geese in the introduction, I did feel some apprehension as the author warned there would be no trigger warnings. This w" Read more of this review » |

new favorite in sci-fi Wow, what a read. I loved this book from start to finish. I was horrified, intrigued, in love with the main characters and with the science. The only bad thing is I wanted more. Thank you Andy for such a wonderful story. |

“PTSD is a whole-body tragedy, an integral human event of enormous proportions with massive repercussions.”
―

“Traumatic events, by definition, overwhelm our ability to cope. When the mind becomes flooded with emotion, a circuit breaker is thrown that allows us to survive the experience fairly intact, that is, without becoming psychotic or frying out one of the brain centers. The cost of this blown circuit is emotion frozen within the body. In other words, we often unconsciously stop feeling our trauma partway into it, like a movie that is still going after the sound has been turned off. We cannot heal until we move fully through that trauma, including all the feelings of the event.”

“Polyfragmentation and Engineered DID
Over 20 years ago, I was made aware of a subset of patients with DID who did not develop DID organically but as a deliberate creation through trauma-based mind control. These clients present differently from those with organic DID and have different needs to be met in therapy. From early childhood, they have been subjected to a form of human slavery where their minds have been systematically fractured with traumatic experiences and then rebuilt in such a way that they could be programmed and controlled over the course of their lifespan by handlers. The people with engineered DID challenge even the most sophisticated and experienced trauma clinicians, because part of their programming is to avoid detection and foil treatment with therapists. The groups that 'train' these people consider them expensive assets and will not let them leave or heal easily. They surround the programming and parts with various 'booby traps' that can derail therapy, confuse or distract the therapist, and disable or even kill the client. It is a very specific subspecialty in trauma treatment, one that requires a great deal of education and support to do well.”

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
