Me, My SELF and She

She became who she needed to be to survive. In Me, my SELF and She, Tinker's life is told through the voices of me, my Self, and she-an internal system shaped by childhood trauma, where each part carries a role, a memory, and a burden. For years, these parts worked to protect her. But as the past begins to surface, what once kept her safe now keeps her stuck. Through a gradual unfolding of memory, emotion, and internal dialogue, Tinker begins the difficult work of turning toward herself-softening defenses, witnessing pain, and allowing the Self to lead. Healing is not about fixing what is broken. It is about reconnecting what was never meant to be separated. A nuanced and compelling fictional memoir for those who understand that trauma lives in parts-and healing begins with presence.
