Theme: the ghosts in my head : an exploration of a life of multiple selves.
 
Imagery: multiple shadows/ghosts and (missing) time.
 
 
Early
the ghost who saw snow (fred, the dog self)
the imaginary cat
the fortress under the bed
dissociation and trauma
 
Middle
the yo-yo syndrome and life between 2 houses
learning to make up for lost time / explaining the gaps
lies I didn't know I was telling (the $20 bill)
learning that I was different (my thoughts vs other peoples)
the importance of names
 
Transition
healing and the continuum of dissociation
befriending myselves
the risk of trusting others with names / the risk of vulnerability
the integration dilemma (death)
letting go of a childhood
 
Late
life beyond multiplicity / life within multiplicity
allowing myself to be wounded and well
learning not to dissociate in the present
embracing all of who I am
