    Copy-cat

    SO, there is this person who I care about, that I've known for years. She is kind, compassionate, generous, selfless... I would call her a genuinely *good* person. Her father was, according to her, "an amazing man and father, except for when he wasn't." He committed incest with her, his only...

    Childhood Recovering from childhood violent sexual abuse - can you do it in a relationship?

I'm a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, ritual abuse, physical abuse, mental/emotional/psychological abuse, and sexual abuse. Though many on here would say I'm a thriver, I still say...

    Have you researched your abuse?

    Thank you for posting about this. I joined a support forum when i was about fifteen i think, but i stayed away from certain topics, partly cause i wanted to believe it wasn't that bad and partly cause i was scared. But the past idk maybe three or four years ive been having more trouble. I cant...

    No reply to my last post

    You got many replies to your thread and you haven't posted back to it. You need to sort of interact to get the replies you are looking for. I wanted to reply to this. My past sounds like a horror movie. I grew up in a cult with real religious beliefs, a real bible, real followers, real...

    Have you researched your abuse?

    I've done extensive research into satanic ritual abuse, ritual abuse, and serial killers. It was triggering at times so I paced myself. Since I'm a writer I'm also an avid researcher. It just comes with the territory.

    Have you researched your abuse?

    I've dabbled in a small amount of reading about ritual abuse but to date, I really haven't looked much into things like hypnosis and the cult background to my abuse. To the surprise of my T. Apart from it potentially being a (fairly obvious) trigger, part of me has always been a bit afraid of...

    Anxiety & work

    Hmmm, that's an intresting way to look at it. I've never even thought about this before. When the incident happened with the mentor he was giving me instructions in the switch (the very complicated system that works just about every phone service programming wise) and I can think back to...

    How do you know when therapy is causing too much pain?

    For me it was normal. I was basically a basket case after each session with my T for the first ten years of therapy. My history is ritual abuse and therapeutic abuse. It took four years to heal to a "functional state" from the abuse by a therapist. It still affects me to this day. A person in a...

    Sexual Assault It's my second memory.

    My first memory I had involved ritual abuse at three years old. Then my memory jumped to age ten where I was raped and had an abortion. Nothing in between those years came to me until 22 years later. Twenty-five years later and I'm still remembering what happened during the years between three...

    Relationship Needing opinions from sufferers/supporters

    My husband doesn't push me to share. He learned the hard way after hearing one of my more gorier memories. I'm a ritual abuse survivor and witnessed numerous deaths. After that he told me that he couldn't handle what I was remembering and how I was dealing with it. Sometimes I give him an...

    Ritual abuse

    Also Jaruc. On the GoodTherapy.org website it states that ritual abuse: "more typically treats the victim as a means to an end." My father's goal was my indoctrination into becoming just like him. Lots of brainwashing and psychological control...definitely.

    Ritual abuse

    I know that. I was merely stating my reality, that my ritual abuse doesn't involve a cult or religion. My father had a ritual for his kills.

    Ritual abuse

    That's not really ritual abuse but more child abuse. Ritual abuse generally has more to it. There are more parts to it then just the abuse itself. Brainwashing, rituals itself, psycholical control. I many just many more parts to ritual abuse.

    Ritual abuse

    There was a routine in my ritual abuse. There was an order from oldest child to youngest child all lined up straight in a row. This happened to me repeatedly. My abusive mom was never a witness to it, but she was aware of it. She stopped the abuse of me after I started my period from my abusive...

    ...I was triggered by my dog's death. This was the third time in the last seven years that I had to return to therapy due to a death. I'm a ritual abuse survivor and therefore death of any kind triggers me. It took me awhile this time to admit I needed to go back to therapy. I wished I could do...

    In that case, it's not always about cults. Ritual elements involved in the way you were abused, in any setting, can make abused Ritual Abuse. The label is scary, but it's just a way of describing abuse that has a common theme. Often the real issue is that the ritual elements can often lead to...

    Ritual abuse

    Abuse done for ritualistic purposes. My example is a cult that I grew up in. I could dive deeper or just post my diary as its rather long and indepth. Set actual rituals in my case. If you google ritual abuse, you can get a good idea of what it is.
