If only I were two (e-Book)

Preface “If only I were TWO I could play with you” is recommended reading for anyone who is interested in discovering their possible origins as a Womb Twin Survivor. The gentle yet spot-on approach taken by the author provides a welcoming introduction to an otherwise heavy and potentially confusing subject. Here you will find a very good overview of all the considerations of living as a womb twin survivor (WTS), in addition to helpful advice and exercises which allow the reader to understand the scope of what they are experiencing in born life due to the pre-birth trauma of twin loss, hear the explanation behind these experiences, get priceless reassurance they are not alone with the effects and learn ways of working through their own personal process. Aranka Reeuwijk has given us a bit of everything we need to know in one place, resulting from her own personal struggles on the journey and shared with humbled learning and relevant artwork which, without question, reflect the symbolic language of womb twin grief memories throughout her life. The very existence of this story can be used as reassuring testimony to, and a similar articulation for, the countless unspoken Womb Twin stories which haven’t surfaced due to the uncertainty of this under-considered condition and how to manage it. When WTS have tools for navigation, they learn better self-compassion and gain much-needed resilience for healing.
