Sharing – Why Deprivation May Be More Damaging Than Trauma in Childhood
Why would a kid growing up in poverty, without enough food, and without the social support to succeed in school, feel any different about themselves as they enter adulthood? There’s a connection there; good mental health is hard to find when the entire world tells you you’re less-than.
Maybe we should stop viewing anyone as less-than and fight to make sure no kids go without.

Sharing – How I Got Better at Sharing My Story
They can’t go down to the local community college and sign up for a class where they can practice explaining all of the complexities of their mental health in simple terms. They’re experimenting with what works, what is comfortable, what is confusing, etc. Give them some space to do that and know that when they are still at this uncomfortable level they trust you to be someone they want to talk to.
Don’t ruin it for them by being dismissive or not listening. They need you to listen and they need practice in telling their stories. Be the same place for that.
Sharing – How Trauma Changes The Brain, According To Experts
I think this says a lot about the things we hear about survivors often. Their testimonies are riddled with muddled memories, they have a hard time not being hyper-alert all of the time, and they can often have difficulty with mood swings, and emotional outbursts.
I think it’s also important to recognize that for the last year, many of us have also been living with various amounts of trauma. COVID-19, racial and gender violence, political violence, etc, just to name a few things that we’ve all been exposed to in overwhelming fashion, and that trauma is having an impact on our brains, as we speak.

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………….
