Therapy: At times, clinically I was aware of the process, but applying it to myself, I could be clueless. My journey leads to this anonymous place where I can tell of my life of abuse and trauma primarily through my past journals, current commentary, some current journaling and posts on specific issues I face. I hope to increase awareness & compassion for those of us with mental illness.

A key word that you will see:
Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.

"Sanctus" -- Christian praise and worship song & video by Shawn Thomas
"Out in This World" ~ written and sung by Shawn Thomas
From Shawn Thomas' Website: Shawn Aaron Thomas is an "out and affirming" (openly gay) contemporary Christian worship leader, singer, and recording artist. Shawn grew up in small town Indiana as a preacher’s kid singing in church as well as local theater and school productions. Although he graduated from college with a degree in music and recording, it took over 10 years before that training and education would later become his career.
This is from Christianity Today: Ray Boltz, who sold about 4.5 million records before retiring from Christian music a few years ago, came out of the closet Friday to announce that he's gay. In an interview with the gay magazine The Washington Blade, Boltz said he came out to his family and some close friends in December 2004, but only now decided to go public with the news.
What If I Give All?
Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Mark Pay
He heard the preacher say A single dime can feed A hungry boy or girl With nothing to eat So he pulled a dollar From the pocket of his jeans And he asked his mama How many will this feed? She just smiled And when she told him ten He reached back again
CHORUS: What if I give all I have? What will that gift do? My child, a gift like that Could change the world It could feed a multitude He didnt close his eyes Or turn away I can see him standing tall He saw the need And I can hear him say What if I give all
Three birthday dollars Could have bought a special toy But he reminds me Of another little boy Who gave to Jesus A gift of fish and bread I wonder if he said
CHORUS (repeat)
And long ago a Father and a Son Saw the children lost in sin Can you see the tears In the Fathers eyes As Jesus says to him
What if I gave all I have? What will that gift do? My Son, that gift Will change the world It will free the multitudes
What if I give all I have? What will that gift do? My child a gift like that Could change the world It could feed a multitude We cannot close our eyes And turn away When we hear His Spirit call We see the need Now let Him hear us say What if I give all? What if I give all?

"I see the Christ in you.I know that there is truth.And deep inside your heart resides a grace that's shining through.I see the Christ in you,in everything you do.And when the world yells, 'Crucify!'that part of you will rise...and they will see the Christ in you."
