Chosen Wins BAFTA Award

ByCBG Reading Time: 1 minute

British Documentary Chosen, one of the earliest reviews from the Survivors News and Reviews section, won an award for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA British Academy Television Awards on Sunday 26th April. Our congratulations to the production team, director Brian Woods and Alistair Mark and Tom who took part. Hopefully the award will result in better distribution in overseas territories and a normal commercial release on Region 2 DVD for the UK.

If you’re a British viewer, your licence fee paid for the party so visit the BBC iPlayer to view it in high res at 1.26 minutes into the two hour broadcast up until 10pm on Sunday 3rd May. For the rest of the world and after that date, their individual acceptance speech has been archived on Youtube and you can watch it here.

  • Sharing – Boundaries for Healing Childhood Trauma

    The article below provides many more details, but similar to what I wrote earlier this week about taking a mental health day, boundaries are personal. How I decide to interact with my family may look very different from how other survivors do it. My boundaries have changed over the years. What they look like now is different from what they were when I was struggling more with my mental health as a younger man. I still have boundaries. I define them for myself every day.

    You should, too. You can decide where your boundaries are and when they can be adjusted. You decide what is safe for you. You decide who is harmful to you.

  • Sharing – What Happens When a Trauma Is Also a Betrayal

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    In addition to the original betrayal, many survivors are then betrayed a second time when they are not believed or the abuse is minimized. When the people who should be protecting them refuse to see what is happening or refuse to believe that person that they trust would do such a thing, the child is betrayed by a second person, or a third, fourth, etc. Add in the fact that while these extra betrayals are happening it is also unlikely that the child is getting any assistance that could help alleviate PTSD with early interventions.

    In short, the more betrayal, the more suffering. We all have a responsibility to, at the very least, not add to the betrayal.
