Despite my daily exposure to information about genocide, torture and other gross human rights violations, Cathy O'Brien's story made me feel literally sick to the stomach. I would go as far as to caution sensitive individuals against reading the book, as the information becomes lodged in the emotional body and is extremely dif- ficult to integrate. Like you, I went through a process of soul- and Internet-searching to determine whether the book had any basis in fact or was just a sick fantasy. A search engine led me to an article by Kathleen Sullivan, that included her e-mail address, and I got in touch with her. It turned out that not only had she been through a similar experi- ence to O'Brien, but she knew both her and co-author/'de-programmer' Mark Phillips.
