Explaining Dissociation<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>How many parts do you have?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>When all my dissociated parts had introduced themselves, I found myself with 16 dissociated parts.\u00a0 Four of those 16 were sub-parts of Elsa, my already dissociated empathy part.\u00a0 She had to bear a set of heavy grief traumas, and as it was just too much for her to bear all of it, she sub-divided parts of herself off, just giving each a package of grief to bear, until it could be processed.\u00a0 After that grief had been properly felt and processed, each of those sub-parts immediately slipped back into their places as part of Elsa.\u00a0 Each part knows exactly where it belongs, according to the way in which our Father created them in the beginning.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Two other of those sixteen parts were still really young parts, and not really currently functional as an active part of Emily\u2019s soul.\u00a0 As soon as the trauma they bore had also been thoroughly processed, they also just slipped back into their places and became one with me.\u00a0 I thus currently have ten dissociated parts left, all ten of which are strongly functional parts of mine.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>Please explain the concept of \u201cdissociation\u201d to us, as you and your parts experienced it?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>My parts can \u201ccome out\u201d, so to speak, and chat to you.\u00a0 This classifies us as a \u201cType B Dissociation.\u00a0 In a case of \u201cType A Dissociation\u201d, part can\u2019t come out and introduce themselves.\u00a0 They talk to the \u201cHost\u201d and the \u201cHost\u201d tells others what they are saying.\u00a0 It is important to remember that no one\u2019s soul area is, or functions, in exactly the same way.\u00a0 In my case all my parts and I are all constantly aware of exactly what is happening.\u00a0 Everyone sees and hears constantly whatever is happening in my life. \u00a0This is often not the case and instead only the part that is \u201cout\u201d can experience what is going on externally.<\/em><\/p><p><em>My parts come to the fore very strongly when they are needed in specific situations and without me, Emily, consciously thinking about it, I step aside and let whichever part it is, dominate, in order to fulfil their required role.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>People who associate with me therefore realize rather quickly that my manner and style of communication can differ greatly, depending on the task or role I am currently engaging in.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How did you choose the particular names for your parts?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>I did not choose their names at all.\u00a0 They introduced themselves to me with their names.\u00a0 In each case I knew what my part\u2019s name was, because the name came to the forefront very distinctly in my mind.\u00a0 Three of my parts opted to change their original names, somewhere along the process of their healing.\u00a0 One of them, because her name has a very negative connotation, and the other two because they had adopted male identities with male names and returned back to their feminine forms, preferring new feminine names.\u00a0 All three of them picked their own new names too \u2013 I had absolutely nothing to do with it.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How exactly did you find your parts?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Because I am a Type-B dissociation, I can see my parts.\u00a0 I can see them very clearly within my mind and I know exactly what each one looks like.\u00a0 As soon as I was willing to get to know each of them, the first thing that happened is I saw my part.\u00a0 Then I got their name and their age.\u00a0 After this their pictures, or memories, started coming through \u2013 invariably first details about the location where the trauma took place, with an ever-clearer picture until finally, the whole trauma is fully delivered for processing. <\/em><\/p><p><em>In order to start this process, you have to be a born-again child of God.\u00a0 You need to understand the process of dissociation and know that it is real.\u00a0 Each of us knows that there is something wrong with us, but we don\u2019t know what.\u00a0 We just usually realize that we are not living the victorious life that the Bible talks about.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Our Father is faithful, and just as He says in His Word: there is a time for everything (Ecc 3:1).\u00a0 There is a time for each person\u2019s healing too.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>As soon as I understood the process of dissociation well, and we started working, the Holy Spirit started showing me bit by bit what had happened in me.\u00a0 He shone His light on each of my dissociated parts in turn and He helped me through the process of dealing with that traumatic information.\u00a0 A part of my information and parts I discovered in counselling sessions, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 I made contact with the remainder of my parts while praying alone, but again, with the help of the Holy Spirit shining His light on them.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>When one understands the process thoroughly, it is really very possible to do it by yourself.\u00a0 If the trauma is severe, however, or you are not sure about what is happening, I think it is advisable, to at least in the beginning, not attempt the process on your own.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Our Father revealed every lie that was established within each part and He replaced that lie with the truth.\u00a0 I confessed the sins that my ancestors had committed, which had given the enemy a legal right to attack me.\u00a0 I had to forgive those who had wronged me.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>I can finally walk in freedom as a child of God!\u00a0 I also possess the knowledge now to deal with any possible trauma immediately, as it happens.\u00a0 It is just indescribably wonderful.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><strong>These parts of yours, are they new discoveries that emerged after you started with counselling, or have they been something you have always been aware of?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>I did not know my parts personally and well, as I do now, but I was aware of their existence for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 I was aware of the fact that there is more than one facet in my mind and that they often disagree sharply with me, or even with one another.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5a05f7 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Many times, I was trying to describe my inner conflict to someone, I would say: \u201cA part of me feels this, but another part of me feels that\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p><p><em>I was often aware of the fact that an internal shift is taking place, in order to enable me to better deal with whatever situation I was confronted with.\u00a0 Especially my exuberant part, \u201cBelle\u201d, my adventurer \u201cSammy\u201d and my task-driven worker \u201cMartha\u201d were very clear in manifesting their presence in the foreground and other people were very aware of the shifts too as they came and played their respective roles.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How did you know that it was actually your parts giving you their legitimate information, and not just you subconsciously imagining all of it?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>With my very first part, I didn\u2019t know yet how this was going to play out.\u00a0 I simply chose to trust God to help me to not be deluded or deceived.\u00a0 I was honestly worried about this very thing, as I have always possessed an extremely active and fertile imagination.<\/em><\/p><p><em>When I started getting the information, however, I just knew: this is real!\u00a0 This is not something I could possibly have dreamed up.\u00a0 When I met my first part, Ruth, she carried the deepest pain of my life.\u00a0 The information that she carried I had pushed away so deep and far that I had absolutely no inkling or memory left of it.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>As I received her information back, I first saw one place and then another: the locations where the trauma had played out, and it was crystal clear.\u00a0 I was very young when that trauma took place \u2013 just 4 years old \u2013 but the colours, textures, smells and events came back so clearly that it was as if I was actually reliving it.\u00a0 It was agonizing, but as Elizha said and I can testify to its truth: you survived this trauma once and you will survive it again this one last time. You are older and stronger now and the Lord is constantly with you in the spirit, to help you through it.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>When sharing this trauma with my parents some time afterwards, my mum asked me where it had happened.\u00a0 I described what I had received from Ruth and she immediately recognized the rooms I was describing.<\/em><\/p><p><em>All the other traumatic events that my other parts carried, I could remember and was conscious of when I thought about it.\u00a0 But because I had been exposed to rather severe trauma at a very young age, which is simply impossible for a child of 4 to try to process, I learned to dissociate completely and thus separate myself from the event, and I did so very easily throughout the rest of my life.\u00a0 Any emotional pain, or even severe discomfort, which I did not feel ready to deal with, I simply dissociated from and the part that carried it was completely cut off from me.\u00a0 This is a temporary solution, but comes back to bite you on the long run, because that unresolved trauma and those emotions are still there and keep informing your actions, your decisions and your behaviour. <\/em><\/p><p><strong>Do you consider this process, with all the pain and discomfort that is intrinsically a part of processing trauma, a worthwhile pursuit?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Yes, yes and yes!\u00a0 There is an inevitable amount of pain and discomfort yes, but this weighs as nothing against the complete freedom and healing that you can get when you allow God to take you on this journey.\u00a0 Walking through this process is such a gift and one I wish I could give to each of you!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>Do you think it is important that people complete their journey to healing? Why do you think so?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>I consider it so important that I would call it crucial.\u00a0 I do, however, wish to make it clear that I don\u2019t think one\u2019s salvation depends on whether you have completed your road to healing, but I do consider it terribly important because of the following reasons that I am personally experiencing within my own soul:<\/em><\/p><ul><li><em>The Lord made us to be in a state of perfect inner unity, with all the parts of our souls connected, and working together to express the fantastic uniqueness of our personality and abilities. Dissociation disrupts our normal functioning and makes us less effective people.<\/em><\/li><li><em>The parts of our soul become dissociated when we push them away because of trauma that we cannot stand to deal with. Those unresolved emotions remain and manifest terribly negatively in our words, our actions, our choices and our behaviour, for the rest of our lives.\u00a0 This is only rectified if we are willing to complete our journey to healing.\u00a0 <\/em><\/li><li><em>Some our parts cause trouble, or even physical danger for us, in their dissociated states. They are good and necessary, but need to function in connection with the whole of us, in order to remain under control.\u00a0 These very real risks remain for as long as we are dissociated.\u00a0 The journey to healing solves this problem too. <\/em><\/li><li><em>To some extent, each dissociated part is a bit too much: too exuberant, too daring, too task orientated; depending of that part\u2019s function. The only way in which the perfect balance can be attained, is when all the parts are one, within the place and order that God created for them.\u00a0 One has to fully complete one\u2019s journey to healing in order to find that balance.<\/em><\/li><li><em>If you are willing to walk your road to healing, you get to know yourself in a most astoundingly wonderful manner!

When did you become born again, and how was your relationship with God, in general?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>I Grew up in a very loving, Christian home.\u00a0 Parents were always involved in ministry.\u00a0 Have 4 siblings.\u00a0 Christianity was very real and practical.\u00a0 I had excellent relationships with both my parents, was well looked after and always unconditionally loved and accepted.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Gave my heart to Jesus between 2 and a half and 3.\u00a0 In other words, no conscious memory with no Jesus. My relationship with God was always real and alive, characterised by bouts of wrestling with Him, discovering more about Him, and then wrestling again.\u00a0 As I entered my 30\u2019s I had a growing realization and concern that I was losing ground with God over time, instead of gaining.\u00a0 There were also several areas in my life in which I knew there was no victory, no matter what I did.\u00a0 This moved me to seek help.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Might wonder, how is dissociation possible with such a godly heritage: the enemy is a master chess player and used a right he had to strike a crippling blow in my life when I was 4 years old.\u00a0 So, at 4 years of age, I learned how to dissociate unbearable situations and emotions and thereafter it was easy to dissociate even just continuous discomfort during my childhood, never mind, unbearable pain. We all have issues, however collected and blessed we appear on the surface.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>You have only begun your healing process relatively recently, and discovered your different parts, as such, or were you actually aware of them prior to this process? Please explain how you used to function before<\/strong>?<\/p><p><em>I was always aware of the fact that I consist of many different components internally and that there is often sharp differences of opinion and even conflict between these parts.\u00a0 In order to make sense of this conflict and weigh all the various sides of the internal arguments I would always write.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize at the time that often my parts were writing too, as they got opportunity and as I investigated their particular side of the argument, so in this sense they each had a clear voice throughout my life.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How did you think about your inner functioning? Did you think everyone functions more or less in a broadly similar way to you, or not?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>In a sense, yes.\u00a0 I think all of us assume similarity between ourselves and others.\u00a0 In another sense, no.\u00a0 My mum told me times without number that I am very complicated and I understood that the way I function is not the norm.\u00a0 I have always been very analytical of myself and others, so I was aware of universal similarities, but also clear differences.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Your parts are able to come to the fore very easily and communicate in their own capacity. Were they able to do this before?\u00a0 In other words: did you ever lose time, or find yourself in odd places without understanding how you got there?\u00a0 If not, why

not aware of consciously losing time before, so if I did, it was very subtle.\u00a0 They were allowed to dominate in various situations in my life where the specific characteristics of a particular part were really necessary.\u00a0 People often remarked how very different I was in different sets of circumstances and were shocked or amazed at the differences.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>My parts couldn\u2019t take over, just as they still generally cannot take over simply because I, Emily, am really strong with an unshakeable inner balance.\u00a0 No matter what happens, I tend to retain my inner stability.\u00a0 This is the direct grace of God and fruit of my upbringing.\u00a0 My parts were just not strong enough to shoulder Emily out of the way.\u00a0 If I had not known God and had this inner stability, they would easily have been able to come out at will.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>As it is now, Emily is always standing right beside whoever is \u201cout\u201d and can at any time replace them. <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How do you feel about becoming one with your parts again?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Initially the thought filled me with sadness and a sense of loss.\u00a0 It is such an amazing and colourful discovery to become properly and thoroughly acquainted with each of one\u2019s dissociated parts.\u00a0 It filled me with such a deep sense of wonder and awe at how God has put us together: \u201cFearfully and wonderfully made\u201d indeed, beyond my wildest imaginings!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>But in the meantime, the Lord has brought me to an understanding that it won\u2019t be a loss.\u00a0 It will be a fantastic gain.\u00a0 All of us are in our optimal state: both functionally and emotionally, when we are one.\u00a0 None of them will \u2018disappear\u2019 so to speak, and I will still recognize their presence when they come to the fore dominantly in the situations that call for their dominations.\u00a0 So, I don\u2019t wish the days away till we are one, but neither do I feel the impulse to postpone our becoming one again any longer than our agreed upon date.\u00a0\u00a0 I am curious as to what it will be like afterwards when we are one again and that will be interesting to see.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How does the switch take place between you and your parts?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>My parts are all co-conscious with me.\u00a0 This means that at all times all of them can hear and see exactly what is going on in our life.\u00a0 When we are talking to you, liefste tannie, they\u2019re all standing here in line, because they\u2019re all very interested and love you dearly.\u00a0 Just in case it looks weird, I have formed the habit of just looking down as we switch parts and then looking up again as soon as the next part is \u201cout\u201d.<\/em><\/p><p><em>This is however not necessary.\u00a0 If I give my parts permission to switch at will in a given situation (such as when interacting with you) it can be almost instant and you may just suddenly pick up changes in tone of voice, expression and even terms of address.\u00a0 Words are generally very important to me, so many of my parts use specific terms of address or terms of endearment when talking to you or another loved one.\u00a0 And these terms often differ.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>What are your parts doing when they are not \u201cout\u201d and what does is look like in your soul area?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>In our case my parts are all functional.\u00a0 They\u2019re all playing their roles in whatever is happening in Emily\u2019s life at any given moment.\u00a0 This means that though each of them has a room, they\u2019re only there if they\u2019re dealing with a huge crisis, or sleeping.\u00a0 My parts already function very well as a team and

<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>How did you know that you are ready to become one again?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Well firstly, it is a matter of prayer.\u00a0 I prayed about it a great deal and asked the Lord to lead us.\u00a0 Secondly, I talked to my parts a great deal.\u00a0 Each of them agreed to our becoming one again and were ready for it.\u00a0 Shortly before becoming one again my parts and I, each in turn, took some time together to just make sure that there aren\u2019t any unprocessed memories, that we still need to process with the Lord\u2019s help.\u00a0 One can always continue this process after becoming one again, but it is easier to reach the information when one has direct access to one\u2019s parts and can still communicate with them.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Everything was nicely in place, with the inner knowledge that it is time now and that all of us are ready, with the Lord saying, \u201cGo ahead, My child.\u00a0 I am with you.\u201d There were no doubts for any of my parts or I.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How did you feel, just before becoming one again?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>My goodness, it was a difficult moment for me!\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about the literal day before we became one again.\u00a0 I had such a fantastic relationship with each of my parts and was so accustomed to my inner conversations.\u00a0 I was certain that I was going to miss them terribly.\u00a0 It was as if I was faced with the ordeal of losing my closest friends.\u00a0 Not losing them in the sense of them utterly disappearing, but losing them in the sense of being unable to talk to them, or see them any longer.\u00a0 I cried dismally, then made peace with it, and then we continued and became one again.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>Did you experience anything at all when you became one again? In other words, did you know immediately that you and your parts had become one again?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>I had no physical sensation of anything, but I immediately received a picture that three of my parts had actually shared with me earlier, when I was struggling with the thought of losing them, a few weeks prior to becoming one.\u00a0 It was a picture of the gears of a gearbox, neatly aligned on a prop shaft after having been repaired. I saw them clicking into place besides the others inside the casing of the gearbox.\u00a0 This is a very powerful analogy for me, because my dad is a mechanic and I had spent many hours with him as his \u201cspanner girl.\u00a0 I knew the cost of getting up to that point in the process very well, as well as how wonderful it is!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Additionally, there was the peace of God that surpasses all understanding that descended upon me.\u00a0 All the tears were gone and, in its stead, a calm restfulness.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>What did you have to do to accomplish this: that you and your parts became one again?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>The preparation had to be done, in other words, all the information that my parts were carrying for me had to be processed.\u00a0 The rest is the Lord\u2019s work.\u00a0 He is the Creator who fashioned our souls and its inwards parts so fearfully and wonderfully.\u00a0 He is the one who built the possibility of dissociation into us, so that we could somehow cope and continue with our lives, even when severe trauma inevitably strikes in this fallen world that we are living in.\u00a0 He is also the one who puts us back together when we have completed our healing journeys.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>It was as simple as a short prayer, asking our Father to put each inward part back into its intended place, and then it happened.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>You and your parts became one in the evening. What were your emotions and experiences the following morning when you woke up in a state of oneness again for the following morning?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><p><em>I remember that I woke up really early that morning.\u00a0 I had my quiet time with the Lord and talked to Jesus.\u00a0 Then I wrote a poem, expressing what I was experiencing.\u00a0 Throughout the whole of my life, whenever I have experienced anything that moves me deeply internally, I have always expressed and processed it in the form of a poem.\u00a0 So, to answer this question as accurately as possible, I am simply going to read that poem:<\/em><\/p><p><strong>The Silence<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>(After becoming one)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>What shall I say now<\/p><p>In this large inner silence?<\/p><p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The beautiful, light-washed room<\/p><p>All filled with vibrating, intense life<\/p><p>The ten known and beloved parts of me<\/p><p>All gone now &#8211; gone from my sight.<\/p><p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>And it is so quiet.

I remember, just a few days after we had become one again, I had an uncomfortable day.\u00a0 Nothing serious; just some perfectly normal irritation, frustration and an additional bit of sorrow.\u00a0 By the end of that day, I realized that I had not been in the habit of getting angry before \u2013 in truth \u2013 I very rarely got angry. But this was because I really detest the emotion of anger and how it makes me feel, so I had always delegated it to my parts immediately.\u00a0 I was generally beautifully calm, because my parts had to bear the natural, inevitable anger.\u00a0 Sadness and grief were dealt with in exactly the same manner.\u00a0 Any deep heart ache I very rapidly dissociated, instead of feeling, accepting and processing it.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>So the challenge here was for me to actually feel what it feels like to own all my own negative emotions, instead of passing them off to my parts.\u00a0 What a disillusionment!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>Can you please describe to us how your inner world and general functioning has changed now that you are one again? <\/strong><\/p><p><em>Most gladly! This is an incredibly important question that needs to be answered clearly.\u00a0 I hope I will be able to properly capture it in words because I want it to be crystal clear to everyone that the fruit of pursuing inner healing with Christ is worth the trouble, worth the perseverance, worth the completion!\u00a0 It pays off abundantly.<\/em><\/p><p><em>In my dissociated condition I was still well balanced and highly functional.\u00a0 This is because of a most blessed godly heritage from my parents and the way they raised me.\u00a0 Simply, the hand of God\u2019s grace over my life.\u00a0 A contributing factor was the fact that my parts and I were always co-conscious.\u00a0 There was never a sense of chaos, weirdness or discontinuation.\u00a0 One took over from the other smoothly.\u00a0 Nothing was ever out of control.\u00a0 Emily was always the strongest and my parts helped and fulfilled their functions.\u00a0 All of my parts were cooperative and good team players.\u00a0 So to all outward appearance I always seemed to be completely sorted out, efficient and capable.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>The invisible reality though, was that it was always far too busy inside Emily\u2019s inner world.\u00a0 There were constant conversations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Often there was bantering, teasing and arguing.\u00a0 Many times, there was more than one strong emotion, and frequently these emotions were in opposition to one another.\u00a0 Whenever the emotional levels of different opposing parts were strongly felt, it was almost like a civil war, and it made me so deeply unhappy.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Additionally, whenever any of my parts stepped forward to perform their role, or fulfil their functions, they were always just that bit \u201ctoo much\u201d.\u00a0 Too exuberant, too focused, too thoughtful, too daring, too empathetic, whatever the case may be.\u00a0 In truth this is truly uncomfortable.\u00a0 And our loving Father intentionally made us with all our parts in unity so that there is a natural, constant balance, where all our parts complement each other and function together smoothly with a natural rhythm that softens every action.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>My parts all did their parts with excellent willingness and capability, but too sharply, if I can put it that way.\u00a0 They are too sharply defined if they have to try and fulfil their roles in a dissociated state.\u00a0 We\u2019re not meant to function like this, though we make it work and get on with life.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>After becoming one again, the continual inner dialogues stopped.\u00a0 It is so unbelievably different. There is a restfulness that is so right, in its stead.\u00a0 It is much easier to think clearly, easier to hear God\u2019s voice.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>I had a tendency to do several different tasks simultaneously.\u00a0 I would do a bit of one task, leave it, and start a second, and a third, or more even, moving back and forth between tasks.\u00a0 This is unavoidable at times, especially when one is a mum with little children, but in many cases, it was because my parts focus on different aspects and wanted to do different things, so it was an internal tug of war with each wanting to prioritize their task of choice.\u00a0 This has completely disappeared!\u00a0 In other words, my general focus is much better. <\/em><\/p><p><em>Also, my general functioning is softer, more balanced.\u00a0 All the too sharply defined edges are gone now \u2013 perfectly smoothed and balanced in the unity of all the parts of my soul.\u00a0 I can feel each of my own emotions clearly; there is never more than one that is in total opposition anymore and I can act with conscious intent, informed by what I experience of my emotions.\u00a0 When I am angry, it is clear.\u00a0 I can feel that I am angry and ask Jesus to please help me, processing the anger instead of suppressing or dissociating it.\u00a0 When I am happy, I am still deeply joyful, but it is more maturely expressed, more profound.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>The difference is inexpressibly precious!\u00a0 This is how we ought to be \u2013 whole.\u00a0 I\u2019ll not be easily knocked over, even though life\u2019s storms and waves are often violent.\u00a0 There are no triggers that compromise my heart\u2019s balance out of the blue, awakening deep and inexplicable emotions, that in turn lead to compulsive or illogical behaviour and actions.\u00a0 Emotions flow as they should and can be properly handled and processed.\u00a0 I am more mature, wiser, more restful.\u00a0 Truly, it is well with my soul.\u00a0 Thank you, Jesus!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><strong>How did your becoming one again specifically affect your Christian walk?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>This aspect of being whole again is the most profound and precious of all and above all else makes it so incredibly worthwhile to complete one\u2019s journey to healing, or put differently, to rebuild the ruined parts of the temple of your soul. <\/em><\/p><p><em>The first difference is in the reading of His Word.\u00a0 I have always read the Bible \u2013 even through my darkest years.\u00a0 As a simple acknowledgement that it is necessary and in my own best interest to do so.\u00a0 Now the Word of God is so alive!\u00a0 It speaks to me like never before.\u00a0 I have an openness of mind and spirit when I read it and a hunger to search it out like I had in the earnest zeal of my first love.\u00a0 There is a drinking it in, and hearing and understanding.\u00a0 This is such a gift.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Secondly, more deeply than the need and longing to connect with any beloved and close dear one, there is the need and desire for God that cannot be denied.\u00a0 When I sit before Him, how sweet the communion, how full my heart.\u00a0 When I catch a glimpse of His face there is adoration, worship, contentment so sweet.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>I have had something of this fellowship and devotion before, in my ardent early twenties, but it was not as complete as it is now.\u00a0 Because some of my parts were still in enmity with God.\u00a0 Now I have a heart that is undivided and that loves Him more and more deeply.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>Thirdly, I used to be in the habit of wilful and sometimes reckless sinning.\u00a0 This often troubled me immensely and I would wrestle with why I didn\u2019t care?\u00a0 Why I knew right from wrong so well, as well as the forthcoming fruit, yet chose the sin again and again?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>I realized in the process of my healing that that source of deliberate and compulsive sinning was always instigated by one of my dissociated parts, but now, in our wholeness and whole-hearted commitment to God, I find that it is gone!\u00a0 I don\u2019t think for a moment that I will never sin again.\u00a0 The Bible makes it clear that it is inevitable, but no more will it be that calculated careless disregard of God\u2019s commandments, trampling of His blood underfoot, or the cheapening of His grace. Now I deeply care about what matters to Him and out of love for Him, wish to keep His commandments. Suddenly it all makes sense \u2013 because my heart is changed; undividedly fixed upon Him and His temple to dwell in.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p><p><em>It is a fantastic privilege to be one again.\u00a0 It is so much easier to live in such a way that my light shines brightly, pointing towards Jesus, the Saviour of our souls.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87f9aac e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"87f9aac\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d34137 wpr-lottie-svg elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-lottie-animations\" data-id=\"8d34137\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-lottie-animations.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-lottie-animations-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-lottie-animations\" data-settings=\"{&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:1,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;reverse&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;scroll_start&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;scroll_end&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;lottie_renderer&quot;:&quot;svg&quot;}\" data-json-url=\"https:\/\/lottie.host\/e3f44192-06da-4758-8a3b-9aa8d1fc229f\/HmpGMmbLem.json\"><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-50d48b1c elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"50d48b1c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-53b024d elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"53b024d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e417a63\" data-id=\"e417a63\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90f62ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"90f62ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CONTACT US TODAY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT US<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5657f055 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5657f055\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
