SECRET KEEPER TO TRUTHTELLER

About the Book

Valentina has survived a life of child abuse and fragmentation. She was delivered from demonic oppression and was transformed into the Light of Jesus. Integration from fragmentation into wholeness is the beautiful gift of working through the trauma. Fragmentation is often described as breaking the psyche into various disconnected parts in order to minimize the effects of fully or entirely processing traumatic events. According to the National Library of Medicine, “Specifically, dissociation during the event prevents elaboration during encoding, which disrupts both memory storage and retrieval, consequently leading to PTSD. Typically, the memory disruption implicated in these theories is memory fragmentation, or abnormalities of sequence, coherence, and content in the trauma narrative. Fragmentation is thought to result from a lack of elaboration of the memory due to high emotion and dissociation during the traumatic experience (e.g., van der Kolk, 1987).” (Retrieved from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3310188/). Through my healing work and experience, I have identified fragmented parts of my emotions and given each of them a name. Throughout the book, depending on the time period, you will see these fragments named and referred to in the same way I would refer to myself as “I,” but viewed through the lens of how that fragment was operating at the time. This healing work, and identification of fragments, has allowed me to separate my true, whole self from them and heal; becoming more of the complete and healthy being God has created me to be.
