Sharing – Just how useful is childhood therapy?
Unfortunately, whether therapy is effective for your child, or for yourself as an adult, depends on a number of factors. Finding someone you can trust is an obvious one, and sometimes a real struggle. Elsewhere in the article, Melinda talks about the child not currently being in a traumatic situation, notably one interviewee who was seeing a therapist for depression while also being sexually abused at home. She knew she could talk about that, so the therapy was doomed from the start.
Sometimes I believe we look at mental health treatments like therapy and dismiss them because “it didn’t work” without considering all of the outside factors that can influence whether it works or not.

Not acknowledging the humanity of anyone is what should not be acceptable. Trying to will an entire subset of humanity out of existence because they make you uncomfortable or some religious leader has told you that they are dangerous is not acceptable.
People die from suicide when there is so much pain that they see no path forward. The solution to that is to connect with them, to show them a path forward that involves being in community with people who accept and support them. Anything less than that is a willful decision to let people die.
If that’s what your beliefs tell you to do, you need better beliefs.

what I am passionate about , helping survivors heal and ending the sexual abuse to children ……………………….I think a women president will help more then any sex offending male president and history has proved the men will use interns sexually and cover it up how can a person in authority really help end abuse when he is an abuser ? well of course he can’t ………..if Hillary runs for office I will vote for her………………..
Personally, as a man, I find your logic to be incredibly sexist. To think that any man is automatically an abuser and to vote for a woman regardless of her own record just because she is a woman is the worst kind of stereotype. The fact is that abusers come from all walks of life and both sexes.
I am basing my post on the past history of the US presidents , so many books are available for us to read and really the men in office have been sex offenders , try reading ONCE UPON A SECRET BY MIMI ALFORD , this story really was the trigger that caused me to think even more like I am …..after you read it please let me know whet you think………….
