A wonderful story of overcoming adversity and reclaiming your life with fragmented traumatic memory. ~ Jaime Pollock, Founder & Director of An Infinite Mind 

In her unforgettable memoir, Lyn Barrett helps us grasp how childhood trauma can be deeply hidden from our consciousness, and that the deeper truth of what happened can be discovered and healed even when cognitive memory remains elusive ... As the founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse and offering collective healing journeys for survivors, I can say without hesitation that this is a life-changing book—for survivors, for those who love them, and for anyone who wants to educate themselves on trauma-induced dissociation, particularly its manifestation as DID. ~ Linda Crockett, Director of Safe Communities and author of The Deepest Wound: How a Journey to El Salvador Led to Healing from Mother-Daughter Incest

Crazy is a beautifully written, exceptionally honest story of hope and recovery, and a beacon of hope to those who still suffer from the effects of childhood sexual abuse and emotional wounding. ~ Rev. Tilda Norberg, M.Div, Founder of Gestalt Pastoral Care and author of Consenting to Grace: An Introduction to Gestalt Pastoral Care

Barrett's prose style is precise and rich, and she excels at communicating her complex emotional states, keeping the reader grounded even when she describes the experience of switching between personalities. ... A compelling exploration of a misunderstood disorder and of the various ways it can complicate a person's life. An engaging and deeply felt account of mental illness. ~ Kirkus Review 

Lyn has written a truly healing memoir, not just in terms of its focus on emotional wholeness, but as an invitation to bring healing to your life. This text is about integrity of spirit, of becoming a whole person, and not just dissociative identity disorder. As I read the book, I reflected on my own experiences of conflict and trauma, their impact on my personal and professional life, and my own quest for spiritual integrity, bringing together the many facets of my experience from childhood to retirement in a dynamic tapestry of wholeness. Personal and provocative, Lyn's memoir will invite you to embark on a holy adventure of self-awareness, healing, and spiritual transformation. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking greater self-knowledge and awareness of the struggles everyone faces. To read it is to awaken to the healing resources Lyn experiences and the healing resources you can experience in your own journey toward wholeness and integrity. I am grateful for Lyn's courageous and life-transforming witness. ~ Rev. Dr. Bruce Epperly, Process Theologian and author of Healing Marks: Healing and Spirituality in Mark's Gospel
