Dissociation Made Simple

I borrowed this book from the library because I wanted to understand my friend on a deeper level. She has intense episodes of dissociation (but will never use this word when referencing them), and is not open to learning more. I am though. I figured it could only be helpful.

The book wasn't what I expected it to be. I assumed it would be rather dry and heartless; filled with stats, studies, and the typical sort of textbook babble (which I am fine reading). Was I ever wrong. “Dissociation Made Simple” was filled with powerful energy and wisdom. This is another book on my shelf (well, technically on the library's shelf) that makes me feel such hope for humanity. Jamie Marich and her contributors expose the darkness that comes from stigmas and unhelpful/broken institutions, and shine a bright light on what it means to be a human and heal.

I am surely a more compassionate and more informed person as a result of this book. I feel like I now have a good enough grasp on dissociation and DID to be able to better support my friend.
