We are inviting trauma survivors to participate in several private consultations.
These conversations are a chance to share, learn, and receive support in a safe, compassionate, and understanding environment.
If you feel this opportunity may be right for you, please email us to express your interest. Please note that space is limited, and we will be offering this opportunity several times throughout the year. We encourage you to keep trying. ( All information is confidential )

Before you begin we recommend that you watch this video that depicts a survivor working with her Mini-Me parts.
"You may be concerned that what works for others might not work for you, because everyone is an individual and traumas can vary greatly. What is important to understand is that survivors' traumas may differ, but the pattern of dissociating is the same from one person to another." - Cynthia Byrtus
We chose this beautiful little Yorkshire puppy to remind us as survivors that we must learn to appreciate the Mini-Me versions of ourselves, within each of us. Just like the video you watched above, when you help your Mini-Mes and give them of your time and attention, you will be glad you did because many dissociative- related problems you suffer will disappear and eventually stop reoccurring again and again. Anxiety will lessen, and bouncing repetitive thoughts will slow to a crawl. Forgetting what was said in a heated or calm conversation will also improve and secondarily, you won’t loose your train of thought either. You will be able to remember all of your day’s activities and you will no longer lose pieces of time. Moreover, you will easily be able to recall your entire day.
You may not believe you have any potential ability to alleviate your Mini-Mes fears, worries or struggles, especially when contemplating the fact that you can’t seem to do that for yourself. However, if you ‘learn how’ to work together, you’ll find the calmness and happiness you hope for as well. Your Mini-Mes are similar to the precious little Mini-Me puppy that you've seen. You already know how to give the puppy all the time, love and attention that it needs, which allows the puppy to thrive healthy and happy.
The same is true for all Mini-Mes within every survivor. You cannot heal without them. They have strengths that you haven’t even tapped into yet nor have they tapped into yours. As you work together as a team, you will share and gain many strengths because of your unity and cooperation. If you ignore the parts of yourself that you have carefully hidden inside, no one benefits; for the days of trauma have stopped and you are left with managing a journey of how you are going to heal and eventually become whole. When you learn to love and give time and affection to your Mini-Mes’, you are truly only ‘learning to love yourself’, because they are intrinsically parts of you. Remember, they are a part of you that was separated to come and help during a time of your greatest need. Therefore, their natural loyalty belongs to you and that’s why they are constantly trying to help you even though sometimes you may not need it at the time.

When you learn to love your Mini-Mes, you're only learning to love yourself.





Our mission
We are dedicated to educate survivors, therapists, researchers, and the community at large, regarding how Dissociation works for all trauma survivors. Our primary focus is to teach trauma survivors how their dissociated brain works, their role and relationship to their Mini-Mes (parts), and how to un-trigger and calm their dissociative state of mind. It is important for the therapist to understand what their clients are learning. So we offer consulting and training to each individual therapist in an effort to foster a sense of cohesive and holistic healing.
Our philosophy
Both Therapists and Survivors alike must understand the internal shift and blend that occurs inside the traumatized brain. Without a full understanding of this type of dissociative process, treatment is very likely to fail and take many years to heal. The dissociative brain merges two distinct worlds into one, "Blending" the past, and the present together. This dissociative process is called "the Dissociative Blending Effect" (DBE). It is critical to treatment, to teach the survivor their role in a Dissociative Dance with their Mini-mes. When under stress, survivors call up Mini-mes to deal with emotions and to problem-solve, instead of dealing directly with the situation. They live life via proxy, using their Mini-Mes in their present day circumstances. In other words, they have developed a unconscious process that they must reverse and live life directly, instead of allowing Mini-mes to come up and take over.
Do you have any personal issues you would like us to cover in upcoming Podcasts and Videos? We welcome all survivors to submit any feedback or questions.
