“Hidden Riot is a profound meditation on dissociative identity disorder unlike any other. A shattering juxtaposition of breathy lyricism and searing directives, this collection upends normative modes of representing dissociation, as author, alter, and system all shine in their interconnectedness, resisting the pressure of a linear, individualistic exploration of 'healing,' offering instead a stunning example of creativity born from an acceptance of mutuality. If poetry is about invoking and evoking emotion, memory, imagination, and reflection, then this collection is a resounding success. I was moved, I was challenged, and I was unraveled. Excellent and pathbreaking work!” reviewed by KT.

FORMERLY KNOWN AS….

Well, it has happened.  I can no longer name myself as a social worker having made my license inactive. It was absolutely the right decision, as my creativity is bursting, and for whatever reason the identity of social worker caused parameters that didn’t allow for the depth of feeling and color that is within me. I say all this to say that an idea came to me that can allow me to continue sharing about how my personal and professional life intersected and allowed for my clinical work to have been enhanced. I am going to offer storytelling meetings/gatherings where I provide a summary of sorts and allow for questions from the participants about how my early life which resulted in the diagnosis of DID became a beautiful adaptation, strength and spiritual journey which of course influenced my parenting, my work, my perspectives, my travels…this will be donation based. Offer what you think it is worth. Please message me with any questions, or interest either here as a DM or though my email: jkt1531@comcast.net. I hope this resonates with you. Be safe.
