Article Topics - Suggestions?

But I guess I'm wondering if there's a common ground for all, if there's a "sure path" to becoming either the abused or the abuser.

There is no sure path to being either... there are absolute indicators and factors though associated to both.

Maybe we could also start sort of a catalogue with links to organization sites - for example RAINN. Often there are topics debated there and it would save Anthony some work.

That is really up to CB on what she does with those things... her site... this is more just me sharing some specific knowledge and experience with trauma, specific to sexually abused.

I will be installing a full content manager (article system) into the frontend of the site, which at present is just a page, so CB can manage articles and establish a full site. Anyone who has viewed the CMS to the new PTSD Forum, would see what I mean. Those access details are on PTSD forum for members of that site in the specific forum for the new build. That is all later in life though, as this software is still beta right now and not finished.

I will also raise each first in a discussion form, to help get more real life experience to encompass within each.

Why do I feel vulnerable when a man is near me or when he touches me?

 

[WonderingWhy]

My guess is it's like a trigger. It was when a man was near you that your innocence and vulnerability were mistreated.

As this is the 'off topic area' can we add the topic of ironing to Anthony's to do list??? :eek: :oops:

Dear Anthony,
?1Why does the Stockholm Syndrome form? I understand about it as an unconscious survival strategy. How does one recover from it? I know it can seem like it functions to banish fear short term. I know appeasement very well. I still use it. But I am not a child hooker sold again and again by a powerful organization which catered to rich and powerful men.

?2 What are some of the residual behaviors of people who have learned/suffered the Stockholm Syndrome.

Maybe, we could have the topic of being home bound/agoraphobic. I wonder how many people are experiencing long periods of this, or have overcome it and how.
