Congratulations Kathy. This is really deserved. I read your blog so often. It keeps me grounded.
Thank you, Maddie 🙂

Kathy
Kathy…congradulations on this and you should be proud. I have been reading and commenting on your blog for a very short time but feel that I have gained insights and understanding from you with my DID. The public does need so much education on this topic…especially after some of the movies that were released. Plus it is so great to have a professional on a websight that I can visit, talk to and recieve comments back from. Your blog has become one more comforting tool for me. 🙂 Speaking of self soothing? Aren’t we all experiencing that some by having you to blog with? 🙂
Congrads again…you make a great contribution to the DID community and deserve the recognition for that!
Hi Kathy,
Congratulations!
Your blog is a valuable resource for me and many others who are living with dissociative disorders. You are playing an active role in increasing awareness and understanding of dissociation. I’m pleased to know that you’re receiving some much deserved recognition.

Holly —
Thank you for your very kind words – I appreciate that. I think there is waaaaaay too much misinformation or non-information about there about dissociative disorders, so yes, increasing public awareness is important. By the way, you’re doing a good job of that yourself, too!
It’s really nice to hear from you again – thanks for the comment. 🙂
