"Healing from Trauma and Dissociation"

I'm Paul, a father, husband, scientist, educator, photographer and musician.

Mind Parts was created in September 2008 after a giant leap occurred in my healing journey of over 15 years. The site consists of my own insights on the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, namely trauma stress and the full spectrum of dissociative coping mechanisms. I explore the healing process in a variety of ways, using creative contributions of original art, photography, poetry, and music as well as, hopefully, though-provoking essays. It's decidedly not a journal, though I do keep electronic and handwritten private ones. If I do write about personal experiences, it's with the goal of relating them to a larger theme. Comments are very much welcomed as I relish the opportunity to share with other survivors or anyone interested in these issues. If you prefer, you may contact me offline. My belief is that sites like these can contribute by offering unique perspectives and knowledge, thereby enhancing opportunities not only for survivors but for readers and society as a whole. Namaste!
