Becoming One: A Story Of Triumph Over Multiple Personality Disorder, is a completely documented, autobiographical account of the therapy process chronicled over a four year period. It includes scores of letters Sarah wrote to her therapist, Howard Asher, Psy.D.; actual transcripts from key audiotaped therapy sessions; and Sarah's original poetry. The therapy process, with all of its distress, frustrations, and triumphs, is real and engaging.

Sarah overcame numerous life obstacles and challenges to succeed in her quest for integration. Her story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever struggled to rise above the pervasive, negative impact of childhood abuse.

Becoming One addresses issues of universal concern to survivors, whether or not they personally experience dissociation. Such issues include:

The false memory syndrome debate

Dealing with flashbacks, triggers, and other sequelae
which occur during the process of recovering memories
of childhood abuse

The constant quest for a sense of internal and/or
external safety

Finding and claiming self-esteem

Trust of therapist

Trust of self

Reclaiming one's life

Becoming One is strongly endorsed by acknowledged experts in the field of survivor healing:

"Sarah Olson has written a fascinating account of her amazing healing journey and the mind's creative capacity to surmount unimaginable horror. Everyone can benefit from this inspiring book."
