    "justice" Nightmares - A Good Thing?

    Hello lovely people - thoughts on this? I'm on day 6 of "justice" dreams/nightmares where various severe traumas are replayed in detail but in which I (out loud, usually yelling, waking my partner) successfully confront the perpetrator, fight him off, prevent the abuse, speak my mind, the police...

    I Wish....

    I watch Oprah's Super Soul Sunday (the only spritual thing that doesnt make me freak completely out) and I know of the book but being dyslexic I dont read much. Its a lot to get thru "The Post Traumtic Strss Disorder sourcebook" by Glenn R Schiraldi Ph.D , my therapist & I are going thru it...

    Dirt

    Seashells, you feel guilty and dirty-but the guilt and the dirt is his, and his alone. Remind yourself multiple times a day that this is a common feeling for those who have been sexually abused, but it is not truth. Try to turn it into anger. Rightous anger. You didn't deserve it. No one...

    Sexual Assault Am I A Monster?

    From reading and my own experience- I would say that it's highly abnormal for a child that age to *know* or have the desire to act out those sexual things if they've never been exposed to them. In fact, sexual acting out towards other children, *particularly* before puberty, is a very strong...

    Things I Cannot Talk About

    I'm working with a T who is amazing.... every week I think about trying to speak more and can't. In particular, I worry I was sexually abused. There's these usual 1 billion speculative reasons: severe early and continued anxiety, terrible boundaries and sexualizing boundary stuff, abusers in...

    How To Keep Safe During Halloween: Cues And Triggers To Dissociated Suicide

    ...to be with you so the friend is aware and can help keep you safe? My heart goes out to you in a big way, because I am also a survivor of ritual abuse and programed, brainwashed into being suicidal if I go into a church. So I avoid going to church. I do not celebrate Halloween. I keep my...

    Friends With An Abuser

    How old is your daughter now? If this happened recently, and by "abduction" you means she took her without your consent and held her against her will, you didn't know where she was, etc, sounds like a police matter to me. In fact, did you contact the police when your daughter disappeared? At...

    Friends With An Abuser

    Definitely satanic ritual abuse (inc repeated rape) and it's possible she may have been involved in, or at least aware of, the abduction of my toddler daughter overnight.

    Consensual Sexual Contact Equals Self Hate

    Your body does not deserve that triggered hate and disgust. The abusers are the ones who are disgusting. Something I did? I did a ritual in which I symbolically sent the stuff they put on me, that was not me, and that I did not deserve, back to them. ...for some reason, now? The body shame...

    Childhood My Brother (my Abuser) Is Dying. Not Sure What To Do

    I had a similar situation in August last year. My mother died and my brother made contact with me. He 'seemed' so sensible and caring. I went and talked with him and his wife. Then went back a few months later to deal with the leftovers of my mother's stuff. I honestly thought I was okay with...

    Sexual Assault Triggered By Boyfriend... Now Having Trouble Feeling Safe

    Hi all, I had an incident with my boyfriend recently, and I'm not really sure how to move past it. I'd love any insight that anyone else who's been in a similar situation can provide. First of all, my boyfriend has been my platonic best friend for the last 4 years, and only recently (about...

    If You Could Do One Crazy Thing Today What Would It Be ?

    @Holy shit. The same with me. My sister is a clone of my mother. They both have Narcissistic personalities. I was the Scapegoat and I am thinking you were too. The terrible thing is, Narcissistic mothers choose the most sensitive child, who usually happens to be the most honest and truth...

    I Don't Know How Much More I Can Take

    I feel like an evil wretched thing. I have relapsed into my anorexia so badly since leaving day treatment three months ago. I have lost all of the weight I gained and I'm back to my 'safe' weight. My bmi is not super low but is in the anorexic range dropping fast. I have so many behaviours I...

    When You're Cold And Empty Towards "family" And "love"

    I quit buying gifts for my family years ago. It's not that anyone is cruel about it. It's just that no one cares. Mother's day is coming up tomorrow here and I will give the obligatory call, but that's more for by brother's sake. He doesn't like it when I don't do the little rituals because...

    What Helps Before/after Exposure?

    Well im not sure what advice I can give as far as rituals because I still struggle with that I myself, but for me, I guess in order to help with avoidance, you can maybe start with what action you have the most trouble with first. Like for me, after I have a panic attack, getting up and doing...

    I Can't Believe I've Let This Become My Life

    I've had one of those weeks. Therapy really triggered me and so I've had a week full of flashbacks, dissociation and the many ocd rituals which dominate my life. Things have calmed down somewhat and so I've had some time to reflect on where I am. Even though I don't agree with the way people...

    Recurring Dreams And Physical Pain Of Attack

    Have you tried group therapy. It helps me because I talk with other women that have been sexually abuse and assault or have survived domestic violence. Group therapy makes you feel not alone or crazy. Many women (and men) share what you are going through. Group therapy keeps you from feeling...

    Is Denial Such A Bad Thing?

    There is nothing wrong with denial. Denial has many good attributes. One of them is that we can wait to deal with something, until we want to. We all have denial systems. They help us keep sane; if we became aware of too much, too fast, we would not be able to psychologically manage ourselves...

    Is It Okay To Feel Sad For Oneself???

    ...great insight, thank you so much. I really enjoyed the story!!! @shimmerz If a young man came to me and told me he had endured satanic ritual abuse I would cry with him and offer to help in any way I could. Thank you for your estimation of me as a compassionate man, certainly try to be...

    Is It Okay To Feel Sad For Oneself???

    LionHeart, I think if a young man came to you telling you he had enduring this ^^^ That you would not make him feel like this ^^^^ There is a difference between being compassionate and being full of pity. From reading your posts, I feel that it is safe to say that you are a compassionate...

    Is It Okay To Feel Sad For Oneself???

    ...comes to feelings, esp of Sadness/ Love/Pity I have begun to process some long buried feelings that are a result of childhood satanic ritual abuse and I feel a lot of emotional pain rising up and an overwhelming sense of sadness.... I need to share these unhappy feelings with people who...

    Why Am I Triggered By Cbt?

    ...things from the reaction I get and the experiences of my childhood sexual abuse by an organised pedophile ring who practiced simulated ritual abuse during the 1980's. More than one member was a psychologist or psychiatrist and I am certain that many of my memories of abuse include deliberate...

    DID Newly diagnosed d.i.d., sexual issue

    I have read a lot about DID, mostly through the books on SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse). I know that's grim and I apologize if I set anyone off. My only point is that I read a lot about how alters are created and the link to the occult families (and the many DID people they have created) might help...

    Childhood Recovering Memories Of Sexual Abuse - How Did They First Start To Appear?

    Just to warn you @Anarchy I do refer to a scene depicting circumcision below: My source of trauma was surgery on my genitals throughout my childhood, so although the majority of it wasn't sexual abuse (there were a couple of very questionable 'procedures') my psychosis is that I interpreted and...
