Depression and the womb twin survivor

Now here is an interesting idea: The daughter of the Archbishop of Canterbury, no less, has been depressed since she was a teenager.

watch a BBC news broadcast of her speaking about her depression

Now
  • If someone has everything anyone could wish, a loving family and no money troubles but remains sad and miserable every day
  • If someone broke up with their partner, went home, left their job and did nothing but think on death and ways to die
  • If some one is now struggling to survive and often does not remember to breathe
Is it possible that this person may be a womb twin survivor?

But wait !! There is so much more we can do than offer them pills and therapy!

What if
  • We explored the possibility that people with depression are womb twin survivors using this list.
  • We looked carefully at this person's psychology using this ebook as a guide.
  •  We gave these individuals plenty of information about  how womb twin survivors feel, even when they know nothing of their twin using these books
Then we set them off on a healing path so they can find out exactly why they find it so painful simply to be alive, and why they must live half a life, be half alive and never realise their potential?

Now wouldn't that be a good result!

If you have been depressed and find that the womb twin work has helped, ( or not) please post a comment.  Thanks!

The book that makes a difference. Got yours yet?

Children mould their parents to suit their needs.

Children mould their parents - not the other way about. It's  to suit their deepest needs, its how children keep their Dream of the Womb alive.

Don't believe me? Then read on.....

A child is filled with angry resentment and directs it to one or both parents: “You made me this way!!” The child finds one or both parents inaccessible, rejecting and cold. The child withdraws into a secret, private world where the pain of isolation and emotional neglect is made bearable. Only by complete withdrawal from the parents can the child survive emotionally.

Meanwhile, the parents, faced with their child’s total withdrawal, find their child inaccessible, rejecting and cold. The parents withdraw into their own world and only when they are completely separate from the child is the emotional pain made bearable.
So on both sides of this family divide, each party feels the same: rejected, unwanted and unloved. The parents see the child’s coldness towards them and they withdraw, feeling hurt and unloved. The child sees the parents' withdrawal and so the child withdraws still further, feeling hurt and neglected.

The pain that lies between them never leaves, never heals. The child lives in pain and the parents die in pain. The parents take their pain to the grave. For the surviving child, the death of the parents is a relief from this constant, unnamed, family pain.

This is a terrible tragedy. It is a travesty of what families are for: where is unconditional love, forgiveness and reconciliation in this situation?

But wait! Here is the same mother trying to reach her child, who will not meet her eyes, but is withdrawn and evidently in pain.

The child is saying: “What is there for me in this family?’
The mother is saying: "There is unconditional love forever, whatever you do and wherever you go.”

Here surely is healing! Here is the answer! Let us pour love on this situation and the family relationships can heal and grow!

But there is to be no healing in this family. Notice the child’s distainful silence and withdrawal. The love remains unacknowledged and the pain un-healed.

“YOU made me this way!’ cries the child, and the parents hold each other and weep.

We are told we must believe this child.

We are told that parents are vital to a child's emotional well-being. We are told that the quality of love between the parents and the child is to be unconditional if it is to enable the child to grow. The social policy of this country is built on a single idea: that family life fosters the growth of children and by fostering family life we help to make better citizens. We are told that emotional intelligence is about empathy and the ability to make good connections with people. We are told that children learn emotional intelligence from their parents.

This is wrong. Parents do not make their children. Parents deal in the best way they can with the children they are given.

Children are born, not made. In our desperate search for explanations for why so many families break down as love dies a silent and painful death, we have been grasping at straws. In a procrustean effort to fit our psychological theories to the facts, we still choose to believe, along with Freud, Winnicott and all the others, that the root of neurosis lies in the primary relationships made in the first vital weeks and months of life. This means what when children withdraw into silence and begin a painful path to self-destruction through eating disorders, addictions, self-harm, unplanned pregnancy, impossible relationships and all the rest, that we can blame the parents.

This is wrong, parents do not make their children. What moulds our children is their life in the womb.

For the surviving identical twin, the primal relationship was not with Mum and Dad, but with their inaccessible, cold and unresponsive other half: their twin. After a brief period of live interaction, one twin begins to die. The twin becomes withdrawn, goes cold and inaccessible and in time goes away completely. This tragedy is being re-enacted in families all over the world.

Womb twin survivors create the parents they need to keep their Dream alive.

I wonder: if this was generally understood, could this secret and mysterious pain be healed at last? I do hope so.

"Twin Bred" Vol 2 - a new book that explores the bond between twins

Scientist Mara Cadell created the Twin-Bred -- pairs of fraternal twins, one human and one Tofa -- to bridge the profound and dangerous gap between the human colonists on Tofarn and the indigenous Tofa. Unexpectedly, it is the Tofa host mothers who now claim the capacity to bring peace between the two. The Twin-Bred themselves have been forced to abandon their mission and their planet, in the hope of finding a less hostile home. Only one pair remain behind, seeking to build new and separate lives with their own kind. But Mara and the Twin-Bred should know by now that plans provide little protection. New challenges are in store for all the Twin-Bred, and for those whose lives they touch.

This book was published  some time ago.  It is about womb twin survivors. This is how this book came to be
As for how and why I wrote the book: that story starts with the first book, Twin-Bred. I read an article about womb twin survivors. I'd never heard or read anything about the subject before, and found it fascinating, as well as deeply sad. I had lost a brother, though not a twin, a few years before, and had never been able to resolve some of the emotional issues between us, a
fact which may have left me more open to some distant understanding of how womb twin survivors might feel.

At the same time, I somehow came up with the idea of trying to resolve communication difficulties between two sentient species by arranging for host mothers to carry fraternal twins, one from each species. What would inspire a scientist to come up with this approach? Well, perhaps if she were a twin -- or better yet, a twin who had lost her brother, and knew through the experience of loss just how important that bond could be. . . .
Now there is a sequel

 Karen Wyle  talks about the  sequel:
I wrote the sequel, Reach: a Twin-Bred novel, because I still cared about the characters and wanted to keep telling their story.

 (It didn't hurt that many of Twin-Bred's reviews requested or demanded a sequel.)

 The end of Twin-Bred left room for a sequel -- but until I embarked on it, I really didn't know which secondary characters would assume important roles, nor where anyone would end up. One particular delight, for me as the author, was the discovery of why certain events in Twin-Bred itself took place.

Reach continues to explore the bond between twins, including those who are not both corporeally present.

A very interesting read!

Left handedness

Here is a rather old TV programme that deal with the idea of left handedness and the connection to dyslexia




There is a theory that left handed people are womb twin survivors. They are the sole survivors of "mirror" twinning.

The idea is that monozygotic twins are one zygote split into two, and it can happen that the twins are  mirror images of one another. If the righthanded one is the one to die, then the left handed one will be the sole survivor.

Black egg

My shell is black and invisible in blackness
I lurk in disguise and move stealthily
You see - I do not exist.

Tread gently on my eggshell lest you break me open
For inside there is a terrible truth that no one must see.
I dare not look within.

Do not break me! I will fight and bleed to the end,
For I will not let the Thing within me have life!
The unseen Thing must not be released!

But see! My shell is breaking and with it breaks my heart.
They looked inside while I averted my eyes in fear-
If I look, then I must die!

They told me that the shell is white within
And filled with loss and love and longing:
I did not believe them.

But they insisted and they told me to believe
That within the egg was joy and life.
But I would not see.

But the shall cracked wide open and in it was life
And joy and creativity, locked away for a thousand years!
I began to see…..

My shell, my heart, my life was black, but only on the surface -
Inside, where my innocent origins lay
Was always perfectly pure.

Twin research

Twin research is a fascinating area as this article points out.

Twins are unusual. They are interesting because they are so rare. They have always been a favourite subject of myths, folk tales and drama. Identical twins in particular are objects of great fascination and their similarity has caused us to ponder the deepest questions about the nature of human identity. (1) 
 Few people are indifferent to witnessing the birth of twins. The womb, which is clearly designed to carry one baby, manages to carry two, and they are both born alive. Of course the twins we see are always in pairs. They are often, if not always, together. They seem to be bonded by a connection that goes back to their time together in the womb. A lone twin is a sad sight, for in the public eye this person surely is no longer a twin, because twins come in twos, we all know that.

A short history of twins

The scientific study of twins and twinning, as far as we know, is relatively recent when compared to other branches of obstetrics. One of the first publications to consider in detail the biological nature of twinning in humans was published in 1883.(2) It was written by Francis Galton, who was one of those remarkable nineteenth century English thinkers who laid the basis for almost all the later theories on twinning - that is, until the development of ultrasound and artificial methods of reproduction a hundred years later.

Vanishing twin syndrome - imagining the twin restored

It's very important to avoid idealising your lost twin. This sole survivor imagines all kinds of lovely scenarios that may have come about, had her twin survived, but we also know that identical twins in particular fight for exactly the same psychic space. It can be hard to retain some sense of individuality, so if that is a problem for you, being left alone to make your own life is not altogether a bad thing.





Of course when an identical twin dies, the grief and loss is enormous, because you have lost half of yourself, the other half of your own soul.

There is the conflict - to be whole and grieving or to be half and together but in perpetual rivalry.

Any identical (monozygotic) twin survivors want to comment? All comments welcomed.

A letter from Rara Schlitt, artist

Two little birds who hatched out of the same egg....
Rara Schlitt, the artist


Two Little Birds
Written by Althea Hayton
Illustrated by Rara Schlitt

Rara writes.....

In May of 2013, I was warmly invited to present Two Little Birds to two Nursing Homes in Chattanooga Tennessee, where the age of the residents were from 78-101 years of age.

After reading aloud the book Two Little Birds, discussion revealed that several residents had twins, one lady had lost a twin in labor and delivery, and others felt like they might have carried twins but it was not confirmed due to the absence and unavailability of ultrasound some 80 plus years ago. There were half a dozen who themselves were surviving twins.

A real treat were 2 sets of twins-one being 82 years old and the other 78 years old.
They shared how special it was to be a twin, and share a special bond of finishing each other sentences, knowing what the other one was thinking or wanting to do.

Even though I attended the event mainly to discuss illustrations for a book, I realized that the topic was one that the residents wanted to discuss so we went over the review pages in the back of the book, that Althea had prepared.

 One of the diagrams to explain the types of twinning

The majority of residents were female and talked about pregnancy, which was a taboo topic back in their day. They talked about delivering at home and also the stigma of twins, not always being a good thing. They also talked about dressing twins alike and keeping them schooled with the same teacher throughout middle school age.

The surviving twins spoke about missing their twin and how it felt like a piece of them was missing.
The ones who were surviving twins had lost their twins in their 80's.

There were a few who felt like they might have been a twin but it was never confirmed. One gentleman said he found out his twin brother had died at birth but his family never told him until he returned from serving as a soldier in World War 2.   He shared that he somehow already knew. He said he had an imaginary friend and remembered being content playing with his imaginary friend.

The staff of the nursing home attended the presentation also, and one said they had carried twins but lost one due to a risky pregnancy. They asked to take the book home to share with her son and husband.

It was enlightening and humbling to hear all the stories and sharings.

Elvis, hoarding and a womb twin survivor?

An episode of Hoarding buried alive speaks to me more strongly than any other about being a womb twin survivor. I found that hoarding tendencies are strong among womb twin survivors.




This man is a sweet harmless individual who is absolutely aware of the disgrace, the awful nature of his surroundings. He is self aware and able to express himself. But he doesn't know what is going through his head.

For this man there is no denial, he is absolutely aware of what he has been doing.

"The real Cary doesn't exist anymore."

He is stuck ABSOLUTELY in his beta space. He knows he is in a terrible mess and completely in love with Elvis, a womb twin survivor. IN many ways he has become Elvis.

He knows he will die because of his compulsion - but that is all part of the plan. It was triggered by a loss - the loss of his job and his former identity as a PE teacher.

But as the episode continue a dark energy arises and is expressed by their friends.



His friends become filled with aggression, they complain and yell loudly, and begin to accuse him.

This is a well known effect - that people who are suppressing a feeling (in my view, in his case his strong Alpha male energy) will evoke it in others.

Having done that, he then cries, elicits a stung empathetic reaction, and that is deeply satisfying for him.

Its in the bedroom - the place of unresolved grief -that the greatest pain lies.

The worst thing is when people " dont get it?.

I do honestly believe that I get it. I once worked with a hoarder - a major hoarder who had filled his house- and he did react very well to the idea that he was a womb twin survivor, but then I lost him and he hid away inside his hoard. he wont let anyone in now.

There are some excellent psychologists who work successfully with hoarders but they never mention the possibility of a pre-birth influence, simply because no psychologist do, unless they are specialists. And even the specialists, may of whom are womb twin survivors themselves do not mention it either.


"Frustration" dos not come near to describing my feelings.

A womb twin survivor on Dr Phil's TV show?

The Dr Phil programme that went out on June 11th rang a bell with one of the readers of this blog:

Yesterday's show really rang a bell. It was about a woman who overstepped boundaries with a female friend, becoming overly clingy, needy, and claiming to be "in love" with her. The show was about histrionic personality disorder, but before that was even mentioned, I could tell that this woman is a womb twin survivor.




This woman is simply trying to make her friend into a surrogate twin.

So many "personality disorders" have a basis in reality. I am sure of that.

If you watch this show PLEASE do write to Dr Phil and put him in touch with me - its hard because I am in England, so I do need someone who is in a similar time zone etc, to make the first contact.

Can you help?  Why has there never been a TV programme about womb twin survivors?

THE TIME HAS COME.

Let's get onto it today! (Write to Dr Phil here)

he may not respond to lne email but what if 50 of you readers sent in this message: ( or something similar)

" Why is there never any mention of womb twin survivors on your show?  One in every 10 people is a womb twin survivor so there are plenty of people who would be very interested."

This all I got in 2008 - just 20 secs on the news and a 1000 hits on my web site in just a few hours...... absolutely nothing since.

I get stories almost every day from individuals who have just discovered or realised the truth, that they were not alone in the womb.

They contact me via the womb twin survivors web site and I send an email that list the various links that may be helpful:
  • This blog
But this is not all- there are a multitude of ways to get the information you need to move forward. To make things clearer I have created four healing steps, which are described on my web site.

Step One

A starter quiz
Are you a womb twin survivor?  10 questions that may help you to decide.

The research questionnaire
Over two thousand people have completed this questionnaire since 2007. It takes a few minutes to complete but it is a chance for you to consider in depth  the various physical or psychological indications that you are the sole survivor of a twin or multiple conception. It is invaluable for my research, which continues. I now have over 1000 completed questionnaires from people with physical proof of their twin, so the statistical analysis is becoming more and more focused and accurate.

Articles
Over the last the years I have accumulated a great deal of knowledge and it is available in various forms. One is a series of short articles, some of which have been sent to me for publication. 
Useful external links
Ii the process of  carrying out  my research I found many useful and interesting sites to explore on the various aspects of this fascinating subject:

The research projectThe womb twin research project is unique in the world.  It has been made possible so far because of the willing participation of thousands of individuals.  The results are set out for your benefit and  the project will continue, as long as people are prepared to come forward and take part. Thank you, everyone!

Introduction:

The day I woke up

On one amazing day a few years ago, I became aware of something about myself that had never occurred to me before. Until that day, I had been trying very hard in life but getting nowhere. Somewhere in the back of my mind, there was Something I had to do. This feeling haunted me always. All my life I had been trying to find out what it was. It felt like I was on a treadmill and I couldn’t get off. I knew I had gifts and talents but however hard I tried they never came to much. I had a great sense of “mission” but I did not know what it was. Day followed day, year followed year. I was getting nowhere fast, still yearning for that elusive Something, which seemed to be the source of all happiness and yet was always just out of my reach.

On that wonderful day, standing in my own kitchen, I experienced a life-changing moment. I suddenly just KNEW that in the womb I once had a twin. This idea resonated into every corner of my being. Intuitively, I felt this was real, even though there was absolutely no proof. Everything was clear at last.

That single, incredible discovery has changed my life completely. A process of healing was triggered almost at once, for at last I knew what that Something was that I had been searching for all my life: it was my lost twin brother. I had only known him in the womb, so I called him my “wombtwin”. In that moment, a new idea was born. If I was a wombtwin survivor, then there may be many others like me in the world. I could try and find them.

It gradually became clear that every day I had been reliving my lost memories of the womb - which I called “My Dream of the Womb.” In this dream was a sense of loss and emotional pain that was very familiar but until then had never been explained. I left my counselling job and decided to take a sabbatical to explore this important but neglected mental health issue, which had never been mentioned in all my years of training.

The second step is to try and reconstruct your own womb story. Making your story helps to get everything into perspective, not just the brief life you once had with your twin but how you feel today and what is was like when you were a child.

Reading personal accounts of other womb twin survivors helps you to feel normal.

Your Dream of the Womb varies according to what kind of twinning took place in your mother's womb.
 - Was your twin identical or not?
- Wasthere a multiple pregnancy?
- How long did your twin survive before death?

It is very important to find out as much as you can, so that you can understand fully how the details of your Dream of the Womb are being re-enacted in your life.

Womb twin survivors spend their lives re-enacting the life and death of their womb twin. Nothing appears to be more important than that, even life itself.

Oncethe real pre-birth scene, which is being constantly re-enacted, is made clear, then the re-enactment tends to diminish or cease altogether, greatly to the benefit of the individual.


1) Read the book:
 12.99 (Multibuy special offers available )

 
2) Ask me for help

I am in a good position to offer specialist information, help and support to womb twin survivors.
Not only am I a womb twin survivor myself, but I have worked with many hundreds of womb twin survivors since the Womb Twin project began in 2003.

The womb twin work is adapted for each individual, and can take place by email, Skype chat, Skype video or telephone. This style of working is helpful and therapeutic but is not psychotherapy or counselling in the usual sense of the word. It is a form of guided self-healing. Nevertheless, I am a qualified counsellor and use my counselling skills to work to the high professional and ethical standards that I was trained to follow. See terms and conditions here.

The work consists of a two-way conversation, with both parties on an equal footing. I will listen to your story carefully while intervening with any relevant information. This may be about twinning and the prenatal state; the normal psychological reactions of womb twin survivors as far as the present research results seem to show and occasionally some of my personal experiences as a womb twin survivor, if this information can help. I may also suggest practical exercises to be carried out during the session or at a later time.

4)  This is how the healing feels

After reading the introduction to your book, I cried because it felt like reading the story of my life. Being determined to accept how losing my twin has impacted my life, I ordered it and since, my life has changed. I have accepted that I lost my twin before birth and I feel more at peace with it now. Sometimes, I feel her presence, which I hadn't done before. I have also found a name, or nickname for her. I had only talked about my womb twin to a few people whereas I am open about it now. I don't want it to be taboo and who knows ?  I might reach out to another womb twin survivor who could need some guidance or information.

The importantce of fetal life - fetal origins of core beliefs

In my quest to find useful therapies for womb twin survivors, I have discovered BODY TALK and I am in contact with a practitioner to learn more.

Here is  John Velheim's video about Body Talk.

He says:
Classically, the formative years are the first few years of life (birth to age 4) in which we adopt the majority of our belief systems that eventually define our character and influence our reaction to life. Recently, however, it seems that many of these belief systems also stem from our experience during fetal life.

Yet another heath practioner discovering the critical importance of life before birth.  Pre and perinatal psychology has been in existence for more than 70 years, but only recetly has is this crucial stage of life being taken seriously.  The ultrasound scan, and  in particular the 4D ultrasound scan, has opened up the world of the womb to people who never truly understood what really goes on during pregnancy. A highly-educated friend of mine ( she studied modern languages, not biology) once said - and truly believed - that as far as she was concerned her three-month fetus was "just a blob of cells."

Here is a 4D image of that "blob of cells."




And here - because you will like this - are twins at 11 weeks.



Womb twin survivors do not need to be told how amazing and responsive the fetus is and how critical to our development and life as adults our life in the womb was for us.

Let it be known throughout the world that if anyone wants to say ignorant things like : "life begins at birth" or worse still, " memory begins at 3 years old", need only to ask a womb twin survivor.

We know all about it.

Pre-birth learning - is it true?

The latest evidence, we are told, that science has produced recently,  via a scientific project called "fetal origins" is that learning begins in the womb. Gosh. Any womb twin survivor  could tell you that, in detail.




Sadly, no mention of the lost twin. Lots about rubber nipples and so forth, but no interview with  an adult womb twin survivor about their Dream of the Womb.

I guess this is progress, though.  We womb twin survivors must stay positive, even while we are totally ignored and overlooked....

Scientists often spend decades proving the obvious, and when they can provide replicable results from experiment that the obvious is true after all, they claim that they have made a "discovery."

Wrong. We knew already, but no one listened....... understanding and patience, that's the way forward.

There will be a daily story throughout August - I have been given permission by a large number of womb twin survivors to publish their story.  Many thanks to everyone who has contributed their story via the questionnaire, for it is from this group that the chosen stories will be published every day in August. All the stories will be anonymous.


The stories that I have been told over the last 10 years have enabled me to create and psychological profile of womb twin survivors that is the basis of the womb twin books.

The statements made in the stories, expressing feelings attitudes and beliefs, have been gathered together to create the questionnaire and the stories that people have contributed have enabled me to hone the list of statements into a characteristic response to being a womb twin survivor.

We now have a list of the physical signs and indications that a twin conception resulted in a single birth, so  I can know exactly which people have proof of their twin. It has taken a long tie but at last I have over 1000 complete questionnaires from people who have proof that their twin once existed.

A number of stories are also being sent to me via the form on the stories page of the web site. In a few months time these will be made into an iBook, so that people with iPads or other apple devices will be able to read them. Otherwise, there is the paperback book of stories A Silent Cry. And of course there are the hundreds of short extracts find stories, used as illustrations throughout Womb Twin Survivors and A Healing Path.

So stories are crucial to the success of this project. If you have not yet offered your story for publication and it seems like a good thing to do, then here is a form for you to do so.

A womb twin survivor misdiagnosed as "schizophrenic"

Misdiagnosed as "Schizophrenic" 

(A story from the womb twin survivors site)  
It all began at the age of fifteen when I fell madly in love with a girl in my class. I was in love with her for almost two years. At that time I was too afraid to tell her.

After those two years, I suddenly became anxious and uncertain about myself and I didn't understand why. These feelings went on for about two weeks. Then one Sunday morning when I woke up, my world had completely changed. I didn't know who I was anymore. It was as if my brain had forgotten me overnight. Some other symptoms appeared. I was only able to see in two dimensions. It was as if I was looking through a window that showed a two-dimensional image. I couldn't see it any differently.  This was how I saw the world.
