Beyond The Stage

Poetry, Parts & the Path to Healing

One Soul, Multiple Expressions
Poems By The Parts

Published in 2022 under the name Dr. Adrian Fletcher, this debut poetry collection gives voice to the dissociative parts whose words helped Dr. Adrienne Fletcher express what was once difficult to speak.

Through poetry exploring familial child trafficking, dissociative identity disorder, grief, connection, and hope, readers encounter a deeply personal account of survival and healing from within.

These poems reflect a chapter of her journey before the integration experiences that would later shape her writing, advocacy, and creative work. They remain a testament to the power of listening inward—and making room for every voice.

For survivors, loved ones, and professionals, this collection offers an invitation to approach lived experience with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

Written for adult readers. Contains themes of childhood abuse, trafficking, and trauma.

New Children’s Book

The Adventures of A & Rockette

A gentle, trauma-informed story about feelings, friendship, change, and finding your brave.

Join A, a curious little adventurer, and her beloved Yorkie, Rockette, as they discover that courage can be quiet, asking for help is welcome, and love stays with us—even when life changes.

Originally developed as The Adventures of Rockette and Coopie, the story evolved as A’s voice emerged and became its heart. Written with one of Dr. Adrienne Fletcher’s dissociative child parts during her integration journey, the book brings together psychological insight and a deeply personal child’s-eye perspective.

Created for children and the adults who love them, it also welcomes adults reconnecting with their inner children and dissociative littles. Through gentle storytelling, readers are invited to breathe, notice their senses, reach for safe support, and be kind to themselves.

Production of the book, new companion coloring book, and affirmation deck is currently paused while publishing opportunities are explored.

In the meantime, you can download the FREE original companion coloring book, created for The Adventures of Rockette and Coopie, the earlier version of this story. It offers a gentle invitation to slow down, create, and connect.

Tugs-of-War Within Us: Therapists’ Revelations of Their Own Internal Conflicts 
by Gill Frost
Retired Psychotherapist
United Kingdom

In this forthcoming collection exploring the hidden inner worlds of therapists, Dr. Adrienne (Adrian Fletcher) shares a deeply personal and professionally nuanced reflection on living and working as a psychologist with dissociative identity disorder (DID).

Her chapter offers a rare glimpse into the evolving experience of identity, healing, and integration, including the fusion of “Nancy,” a long-held clinician identity within her internal system. Blending vulnerability, lived experience, and psychological insight, the piece explores the complexities of trauma recovery, therapist humanity, and the transformative nature of personal identity.

Through honesty and courage, Dr. Adrienne contributes to a growing conversation about dissociation, integration, and what it means to heal while simultaneously holding space for others.

The DID and OSDD Handbook

The DID and OSDD Handbook is a supportive, accessible guide to life with dissociative identity disorder (DID), other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) and partial dissociative identity disorder (P-DID), based on author Ella Everett's experience living with DID.

Answering questions from 'What is it like to live with DID and OSDD?' to 'What does recovery look like?' and covering topics such as seeking diagnosis, practical coping skills and navigating relationships, this guide is designed to dip in and out of as needed. Throughout, Ella works to address the lack of awareness and understanding of DID and OSDD in society, and challenge the harmful stereotypes often associated with these conditions.

This essential handbook offers kindness, understanding, recognition and representation for everyone living with DID and OSDD, as well as mental health professionals, therapists and those who support them.
