Though desiring retirement, psychologist Alison Miller offered help to the respected mind control and ritual abuse victim Wendy Hoffman. Through Wendy’s internal investigations, they discovered how Illuminati and Nazi programming works, its international goals, as well as finding out new ways to uncover the hidden, and to heal. Their goal was to gain clarity about Wendy’s cult personas, and to learn how to integrate a complicated, tortured brain. In these varied essays in two voices, Alison reaches out to all survivors, pointing out the lies they may believe, giving them hope and skills for recovery; and Wendy talks about her own experiences as a slave and marionette, and also offers hope for healing and understanding for how to overcome the many obstacles on this path to freedom. Some of the essays are addressed primarily to therapists, others to survivors. This book of essays follows Alison’s book for therapists in this field and her other book for survivors of these abuses. It also follows Wendy’s two memoirs and her book of poetry. Its subject matter is advanced and will be of great interest to survivors, therapists, the interested community and support people. Reviews: "This book is a shaking read, its controversial political statement putting forward the demand that readers accept the existence of conscious splitting of personality through treachery, deception, betrayal, torture, and violence. Beginning with the introductory poem, the book is an outcry about the significance of personal freedom as well as a blazing plea for commitment to making these abuses known and helping victims achieve safety and healing. The two authors present victims’ horrendous experiences in a rational, factual, and professional way, building a foundational knowledge regarding what mind control is, how it uses deceit and lies, and how through betrayal and attachment trauma the basis is laid for lifelong exploitation. The authors present the terrifying and horrible situations that children are exposed to as they are coerced into actions that go against their own beliefs and true natures. The cooperation of the two authors, client and therapist, based on mutual respect, serves as a model for every change process: solidarity, freedom, and equality." - Gaby Breitenbach, psychologist and psychotherapist, author of Inside Views from the Dissociated Worlds of Extreme Violence "Wendy Hoffman and Alison Miller present essays and poetry on ritual abuse and mind control from the perspectives of survivor and clinician, revealing the challenges and rewards of their collaboration. This book will help therapists understand the experiences and needs of extreme abuse survivors." - Randy Noblitt, PhD, author of Cult and Ritual Abuse: Its History, Anthropology, and Recent Discovery in Contemporary America "From the Trenches is an extraordinary example of a writing collaboration between therapist and patient. It gives the reader the rare privilege of a double insight: Wendy Hoffman and Alison Miller each reflect, honestly and accurately, on the devastation caused by the most extreme forms of abuse, and on the treacherous journey back into wholeness. It is a must-read for all therapists – those who treat survivors of extreme abuse and those who may find themselves doing so tomorrow." - Dr Adah Sachs, the Bowlby Centre, consultant psychotherapist at Goodmayes Hospital, and on the Board of Directors of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation Table of Contents: Introduction Section I: Understanding Mind Control A dozen myths therapists might believe—Alison Miller Pieces of self—Wendy Hoffman How to talk with a multiple—Alison Miller Imposed internal and political structures—Wendy Hoffman Hand signals—Wendy Hoffman Disinformation—Alison Miller The choice—Wendy Hoffman The extra danger of character flaws—Wendy Hoffman Satanic mythology vs. genuine evil—Alison Miller Section II: Lies Fifty lies they might have told you: why they told them, how they made you believe them, and what you can do about it—Alison Miller Section III: Bonds and Betrayal Why and how they prevent bonding throughout life—Wendy Hoffman Family relationships—Wendy Hoffman Love in cult families—Wendy Hoffman Family-hunger, planted therapists, and romances—Wendy Hoffman Therapists’ responses to survivors: countertransference and attunement—Alison Miller Section IV: The Horrors of the Abuse Therapists and horror—Alison Miller The purpose of infant torture—Wendy Hoffman Spinning—Wendy Hoffman Sexual horrors—Wendy Hoffman Anger displacement training—Wendy Hoffman How to make an assassin—Wendy Hoffman Gang wars and the bandwagon—Wendy Hoffman In love with death—Wendy Hoffman Politicians’ use of victims—Wendy Hoffman Twenty-first century Nazis—Wendy Hoffman The frequency of programming—Wendy Hoffman Conscious and unconscious perpetrators—Alison Miller Things I wish I did not know—Alison Miller Section V: Safety The “angel” of suicide—Wendy Hoffman To die or not to die—Wendy Hoffman Programmed suicide and therapists—Alison Miller Current contact—Wendy Hoffman Handlers—Wendy Hoffman Called back—Wendy Hoffman Why and how survivors are gathered—Alison Miller Danger, DANGER—Wendy Hoffman Discarding the interventionist God—Alison Miller When they persist in trying to murder you . . .—Wendy Hoffman Spy school: clues we missed—Alison Miller Section VI: The Survivor’s Daily Life Ask inside—Alison Miller Mind-controlled and frozen in time—Wendy Hoffman The strong and brave ones (previously known as the garbage kids)—Alison Miller Survivors and illness—Wendy Hoffman Things will not last forever—Wendy Hoffman Rushed—Wendy Hoffman Section VII: The Healing Process How to begin to console the inconsolable—Wendy Hoffman The body remembers—Wendy Hoffman Ten keys to recovery—Alison Miller The nobility of survivors—Wendy Hoffman Self-esteem loosens mind control—Wendy Hoffman The pool of emotions underneath—Wendy Hoffman When a program engulfs you—Wendy Hoffman When you have killed—Alison Miller Giving up dissociation—Wendy Hoffman Is there an end to the healing process?—Wendy Hoffman Section VIII: Odes About Mind Control by Wendy Hoffman To the Mind-Controlled To the Front Person To the Unloved, Rejected and Abandoned To the Learning Disabled To Spies, Thieves and Mules To the Sexual Slaves Within To Mothers To Kidnappers To Trained Assassins To Witches To the Plant-Therapists To Those Who Couldn’t Protect To the Beaten To Mourners To the Co-Conscious To the Integrated To Confidence To Gratitude References Index About the Authors: Wendy Hoffman is a survivor of organized criminal abuse and has been a psychotherapist for over two decades working in general practice and the field of recovering dissociated memories.
