| Jenni's Personal Bits | |||
| These pages are dedicated to David Hawley, counsellor and psychotherapist. Jenni's emergence was not an easy passage, it was an 18 month period of life when the mind and body were nearly driven to destruction. Two shattered personalities emerged, He believing Her to be a sleazy, nasty aberration of a hurt and exhausted mind and She believing him to be a bullying aggressive individual preventing her right to life. It was David who broke down brick by brick the two opposing mentalities, rebuilt them to be strong and healthy and merged them into one mind, one individual, an individual proud and confident in who she is and what he was. Thank you David, a very profound thanks, for saving my sanity and probably also my life. Happiness: Where I am now Prenatal: How Gender Dysphoria may be caused.
