A thread that I replied to today, and my recent therapy sessions made me think.

What would people think about an "Accomplishments And Success" forum? My therapist is trying to get me to write a 'Boasting Book'. Where I write all my accomplishments, all the things I like about myself, and all the things I'm good at.
Well, to state the obvious, this is exceptionally hard. Sexual abuse in any form, has a profoundly negative affect on how we view ourselves. Generally speaking, as survivors, we tend to have low self-esteem, low self-worth, and low self-confidence. Part of healing is to boost our own morale, and acknowledge our own achievements. It's not easy, but since much of the forum concentrates on our difficulties, our worries, and our downfalls; how about a forum where we can share our achievements (big or small), and acknowledge that our hard work pays off? Your thoughts please?

I think it's a great idea. It might move slowly, but I think it could grow and help us in time. Just like the "It was not my fault" thread. It's stagnant now, but I'm sure people will use it in time. I was planning to use it to, but in the meantime I lost feeling and I'm no good to work on anything right now. But as soon as I get back, it will be the first thread I use.

Plus, maybe a thread about positive coping mechanisms that work for people?
