Clarity Community Group
This group originally had been formed to lend support and to have open discussion on the topic of dissociation.

Can you see the necklace that I am wearing in this picture?? It is a beaded necklace with a pomegranate charm on the end. First of all the pomegranate is a symbol of positive energy.

Best wishes!
