Lyn Barrett is an author, speaker, retreat leader and a survivor of early childhood trauma who was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder, in 1992. Professionally, Lyn was an elementary school teacher, school principal, and church pastor. She graduated from Lancaster Theological Seminary in 2004 and served at St. Luke’s UCC in Lititz and First Congregational Church in Woodbury, CT. Today, she is the author of an eBook, Unpacking DID: A Parable, available for free on her website (www.lynbarrett.com) and her memoir Crazy: In Search of a Narrative, coming soon. She speaks about healing from abuse and leads writers’ workshops for people with dissociative disorders who want to tell their stories. She brought her passion for life to her healing and brings them now to her work as an advocate for people with DID. |
