A Very Precious Gift

This page features the artwork of my incredibly talented and creative heart-sister, Shades. As we share and journey together, I have been blessed a thousand times by her insights, her wisdom, her courageous example. She is an inspiration to me - a truly precious gift from God. These are some other gifts she has given me - images of pain and hope, reflecting the experience of trauma and dissociation in a way that words never could. Thanks, sis, for everything...

Feelings

This one is like the above - except when the feelings become hidden and distorted and mixed together - a familiar experience.

This image is one of the most expressive I've seen of what dissociation is like.
