Sharing – I’m a Psychotherapist and I Tried Online Therapy. Here’s What I Think of Online Mental Health Treatment
My suspicion is that Amy is correct in her overall impression. Overall, I think online therapy can be quite effective for some people. First, like any treatment option, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Online therapy might not work for every person, or every mental health struggle. But, it may work for…
Sharing – Half of men have had unwanted sexual experiences, UK study finds
We have always kind of known that the estimates for all survivors is low because of underreporting, especially for men, where reporting is actually pretty uncommon. What this study is suggesting is that the numbers we typically rely on, are significantly lower than the reality.
Sharing – Life With Anxiety & Depression: It’s Time We Stopped Suffering In Silence

And, so the circle just keeps repeating.
Sharing – Saying these words when someone is upset is the best thing you can do

That person will still be upset, but validation helps them maintain some self-worth and optimism. So often, when we talk about our mental…
Link – The Most Unrealistic Expectation of Them All
This post isn’t necessarily about abuse survivors, but I think it applies. Healing from abuse is similar, there are good days and then there are not so good days. Both are OK. We bombard ourselves with a litany of questions: Why the heck am I sooo tired? What’s wrong with me? Why does this always…

There is a lot to read and digest in the article linked below. I think some of us might find it very surprising to learn that what we commonly see portrayed as “human trafficking”, is only a small portion of what is actually happening. I know that any major media outlet doing a story about…
