Male Survivor site for Russian users

ByCBG October 26, 2009December 20, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

As reported over at American Malesurvivor.org, Male Russian survivors of CSA organised a meeting recently. One of the contributors to survivorsresource.com also reported that there is a forum there for anyone to post, which is still in its infancy. However like the UK and Australia-based male self-help websites, being survivor led in Russian/Ukraine/Eastern Europe itself, is the best way forward for people from that region.

It’s a Russian-only website despite the anglicised title, so if you’re from that region, take a look at the site and see what it has to offer.

The link is here.

Video – How Trauma Affects Memory
ByMikeM September 27, 2021September 26, 2021 Reading Time: 1 minute

I saw this video shared on Lauren’s Kids Facebook page and wanted to share it here because I think what the folks who work at this Children’s Advocacy Center have to say about childhood trauma, and what children remember is incredibly valuable.

We often expect child abuse survivors, especially when the abuse was so recent, to remember the details, and be able to provide an exact timeline of events. When they struggle to do that it becomes a little too easy for us to start doubting that they are telling the truth, instead of understanding that this is exactly the way it’s supposed to work.

Link – This is how – and when – we need to talk about addiction
ByMikeM March 30, 2017March 31, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

I would say the same thing about mental health, and child abuse survivors. It may not be easy to talk about, but until it is normal to do so, there will always be stigma around it. We talked and talked. Part of me silently whined and resented the conversation but a much bigger part of…

ByMikeM April 28, 2016April 21, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

Earlier I linked to a story about the stigma faced by make survivors in the black community in the US. Interestingly, I also received an email about the same time from a hip-hop artist currently promoting an album and shirt film related to being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. You can read more about…

Sharing – Intolerance of Uncertainty | How to Thrive in Ambiguity
ByMikeM March 31, 2026March 30, 2026 Reading Time: 2 minutes

It can be difficult to live in uncertain times. That old phrase, “May you live in interesting times,” is really more of a curse than a blessing. We can’t change the times we live in, and even if we could, there will always be uncertainty. We can, however, ground ourselves in the knowledge and confidence that we will, regardless, survive it.

Sharing – I Feel Nothing: Emotional Numbness and How to Cope
ByMikeM September 13, 2021September 13, 2021 Reading Time: 2 minutes

In my experience all of that is true. The trauma of my childhood left me numb in early adulthood. The current pandemic and all of the other things going on around us every day have left me numb from time to time now. It’s the overwhelming stress that just living every day can bring right now. So, I find myself doing some of the things recommended in the article below to help in the short term, while also knowing that if that doesn’t work, I need to consider the long-term options as well.

Book Review – Reverse Psychology by Tara Overzat
ByMikeM July 1, 2011December 17, 2020 Reading Time: 3 minutes

I mentioned this novel a while back on the blog, and now that I found some time to read it myself, I wanted to share some thoughts. First, the background. This is a novel. I can only assume some of it is based on Tara’s own experiences, but it is not a memoir, so it’s…
