Sally Maslansky’s biographical account, chronicling her therapeutic journey to comprehend and overcome the pervasive childhood trauma that led to her identity fragmentation, is truly inspirational. For survivors, Sally provides a sense of camaraderie, profound strategies, and insights, instilling hope for profound and embodied healing. Her description of her work with Dr. Dan Siegel serves as a masterclass for clinicians navigating and treating individuals with dissociative conditions, and may even offer vicarious healing to those experiencing such challenges.
"Sally Maslansky opens her heart and mind to share a deeply personal journey of self-discovery through the psychotherapeutic process. A heart-wrenching yet uplifting read, revealing how understanding and compassion shift suffering to authentic happiness.”
This book fills a much-needed gap in the self-help world! So many survivors of traumatic childhoods have dissociative identity disorder (DID) but suffer in silence needlessly. Thank you for helping to bring to light an often dismissed and stigmatized experience for so many! I will recommend this to clients and colleagues.
