Taking the dead to therapy
I took my father to therapy last week. He’s been dead since 1995, around 16 years now, but I took him along anyway. I packed up his letters, objects from the different Jacks, and took them along. I laid them out on the floor and picked up each in turn, me and my alters addressing each father that shared that one body of his.

Iris by Donna Williams
This month’s artwork is titled ‘
Iris’.
It is 26 cm x 42 cm, acrylic on paper. Some of the irises look like dancers, butterflies, nudes, fairies. It’s a whimsical painting, full of movement. It is gently joyous. I hope you enjoy the painting. You can see it and others in my online
gallery.
Warmly,
Donna Williams *)

Donna Williams aged 8 with GTS convertible
In 1970, when I was 7 years old, my family had moved from the small rented house into a big two story house in Preston. In went a built in swimming pool, well supplied bar, snooker table, chandeliers, mirror walls, and filled with antiques and racks of guns displayed openly on the walls. There was a revolver in the drawer of the front dresser just inside the front door.

Those who grow up meaning deaf (verbal agnosia) often have exceptionally good use of peripheral vision. Those with a form of meaning blindness called Simultagnosia in which one sees the part and loses the whole often employ peripheral vision as a means of filtering out the level of incoming information they’d otherwise get through rods in the front of the eyes as a means of reducing sensory flooding, allowing the brain more time to process what’s left in a similar way that some therapeutic tinted lenses do too. A recent
study showed peripheral vision is also more highly developed among those who deaf from an early age.

Schizotypal by Donna Williams
and Dissociative Disorders.
Schizotypal Personality Disorder is also deemed to be along the same spectrum as Schizophrenia at the extreme end and
Schizoid Personality Disorder at the more mild end. So it may be that Schizophrenia is not as much the antithesis of Autism as we had imagined.

Sense of purpose by Donna Williams
Dissociation, alters, co-consciousness and PTSD nightmares can be extremely hard for children with DID to understand and those with awareness of any of their alters or experiencing co-consciousness or PTSD nightmares may easily conclude they are haunted or that their alters are ghosts or imaginary friends even if they had no conscious role in creating them and just ‘discovered’ they were already in existence
