Projects

As I wrote yesterday on my tech blog, I’m seriously feeling the need to work on some techie projects. I think I just need the outlet and the challenge to balance the non-challenges I have with work right now. Also, like I did on that site, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to have some input:

“I’ve got a number of things in mind for this site and the Child Abuse site, but no firm decisions on what I really want to accomplish. I’ll keep you informed as we go along, but in the mean time, what do you want to see here, or there? More interactivity? More community? Do you want less of my thoughts and more links? Do you think the abuse site needs some community around it? Do you want to forget you ever saw this site? 🙂 I’m willing to listen to most ideas. I’m not promising I’ll actually follow through on any of it, but I’ll listen. ”

So what do you say?

    I know the feeling Kevin talked about on his blog last night all too well. For all the guilt and depression I suffered through all the years of abuse, none of that feels as bad as disappointing a wife so worthy of my love and care. Hang in there Kevin, the best thing about our…

  • It’s All So Toxic

    Of course, one of the tell-tale signs of depression, and unhealthy responses to trauma, like abuse, is overly black and white thinking. Going to extremes, if you will. So, it’s easy for many of us to fall into these toxic traps. It’s easy to think that we should feel shame about what happened to us, or that we can somehow rid ourselves of that shame, and anger, by simply refusing to do anything but be positive. But neither one of these is real healing. Real healing, like real emotions, and real people, are messier than that.

    It’s still worth it though, as are a lot of those messy emotions and people too. If you let yourself get out of the black and white thinking, you just might see that too.

    Example of the Power of Touch

    I’ve written before, and I’ve seen study and study that talks about the power of touch. I’ve also mentioned that, as a sexual abuse survivor, sometimes we have a lot of trouble really connecting with people in the same way because of the various issues we have with being touched, and the struggle to see…

  1. Mike,

    Hi. I think that you should do whatever you would like with the site. One thing I appreciate about your site and might like to see expanded is a greater sense of community of survivors.

    Just my 2 cents

  2. Leah, that’s exactly what I was thinking, trying to create more of a community, I’m just not sure exactly how to get that “community” feel? I’m working on some things though!

  3. Hi Mike,
    I have been lurking around, reading your blog for several months. You are doing a fine job. Don’t stop writing your personal thoughts, that is my favorite part. Hang in there…..Penny

  4. Thanks for the comment Penny, and don’t worry, this part of the site isn’t going anywhere, the blog will always be part of it, I’m just trying to think through how to make the site feel more like it’s your site, and how you can contribute.
