Dear Community at My PTSD,

My name is Agata Sawicka and I am a final year doctorate student of Clinical Psychology at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom. I am conducting an online study for adult survivors of child sexual abuse. The study aims to inform clinical practice by improving psychological therapies offered to survivors. I would like to invite adults who sustained child sexual abuse experiences to complete some questionnaires designed to explore emotional processing following their difficult experiences. I am trying to reach out to as many adult survivors worldwide as possible. I hope that together we can make a difference. I would really appreciate your help. I also wanted to request some help from the Team behind My PTSD in posting my link.

With best wishes,
Agata

Hi @as678 I am a survivor who would be happy to help.
As others have said, have you asked Anthony, admin about this in order to be able to post the links?

We have had other researchers here before, so you need to be really clear who your target population is. UK only or worldwide. Childhood abuse - what age is your definition of 'child'?

I am sure your research will tell us more , but we have people on this forum with and without a diagnosis of PTSD or CPTSD . For your research is a formal diagnosis relevant?
 
Contact me, happy to help.

Hi suzisavage,

Thank you for offering your help. I tried to send you a separate message but it's also not allowing me to paste the link in. I am sorry if I'm missing something, but I am unsure how to do it!

Many thanks,
Agata

Dear Lucycat,
The study is not limited to UK participants. I am trying to reach out to as many survivors worldwide as possible. In terms of childhood abuse I mean any unwanted sexual contact or child sexual abuse that occurred prior to the age of 18. The screening question specifies this further by including situations which involved coercion and those that did not feel unwanted at the time. The study is inclusive of those with diagnosis of PTSD or complex PTSD as well as without it.

Many thanks,
Agata

Dear interested in taking part in my study,

I am still waiting for the response from the team behind my PTSD. I wonder whether anyone who is interested in taking part in my study would be interested in finding the Mood Disorders Centre at the University of Exeter online. When you go to the website you can see a menu on the left hand side. If you click on Research then the menu will allow you to click on Current projects. The study for abuse survivors is the second one on the list. I really appreciate your help.
