Night Time Mystery Story, with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet too

By Kathy Broady MSW 19 Comments

  Hello Hello! Every dissociative trauma survivor I know has little ones in their system who feel afraid at night.  And they have plenty of reasons for their fear, especially since so much trauma happens at night time. Because of all that night time trauma, for years and years, their night time fears, and bedtime fears are high.  In fact, it can feel so scary, that even when there is no real harm, the fear can … [Read more...]

Baby Pies — A Bird Story

By Kathy Broady MSW 20 Comments

I do have some short little stories I would like to share that are on the fun side. Animals have always been very important to me, and for most years of my life, I have had a variety of pets – lots of cats, dogs, horses – and when I was little I had a pet raccoon called Petunia, a pet pig called Snorkie, and a pet calf called Grassyhopper.  I would be writing for a very long time if I started through the list of … [Read more...]

Puppy Updates — Here’s Diesel and Vera

By Kathy Broady MSW 7 Comments

Okay, okay, okay! I’ve gotten lots of requests for updated puppy pictures, so here we go.  :) Here's one little guy that we've been calling Diesel.  (For those of you that don't know this, we have a "cologne/perfume" theme to the names of the puppies, but Diesel?  What a weird name for a cologne, but apparently, it is.  I mean really, who wants to smell like diesel gas? lol. Maybe I'd have to be a guy to … [Read more...]

By Kathy Broady MSW 43 Comments

  The healing process for survivors of abuse and neglect is very difficult.  While it is a rewarding journey, it is a painfully difficult process. Trauma survivors with Dissociative Identity Disorder typically have lots of child parts in their systems.  Sometimes these child parts may seem to outnumber the adults! Working with the kids is an important part of the healing process.  Inside kids often know a lot … [Read more...]
