In reply to all emotional over a book--new realizations, posted by smokeymadison on February 10, 2005, at 17:25:44
I had the same reaction to that book!! Or my version of it at least. I had to read it several times before I could stay awake for more than a few pages.
I think it is one of the few books that have changed my life the most. Most books on dissociation focus on the extremes, both the extremes of abuse and the exremes of dissociative experiences. But that book I read and saw myself as as a child and as an adult. It's the book I offered to pay my therapist to read.
Martha Stout was actually offering online consultations for a while, and I was lucky enough to get one email consult before her web-page disappeared.
Don't be surprised if the reactions to this book last a while. It opened up some really intense stuff for me. Please try to get some real life support, either with a therapist or with your pdoc.
