In the interest of sharing reviews of books/movies/shows about mental health and child abuse, I wanted to link to a review of Healing from Incest: Intimate Conversations with My Therapist posted by Megan Riddle over on Psych Central.

Megan even rates it “Worth your Time”. If you’ve read it, do you agree?

As always, if you have read or seen something related to depression or child abuse, and don’t have your own blog to post a review, feel free to submit one here.

Sharing – Having your pain invalidated is associated with increased shame and, in turn, an increased risk of depression
ByMikeM February 25, 2022February 24, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

There’s more at the link, but again I’m going to ask, given the positive impacts of validating someone’s pain and emotions, and the negative impacts of invalidating those same things, why would we do anything else?

Military Sexual Assault Article
ByCBG January 17, 2012 Reading Time: 1 minute

Last weekend’s US Army monthly newsletter covered a December 2011 article regarding sexual abuse in the US Military and whether any progress is forthcoming over the issue. If the link can be separated from the newsletter you should be able to read it here. Otherwise if this link ever fails, go to “Politico”‘s index page,…

Sharing – I’m NOT going to heal everything
ByMikeM October 31, 2023November 3, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s all forward-looking. It celebrates how far I’ve come without constantly constantly reminding myself of what I haven’t done. In Todd’s words, it allows me to simply be human, like every other adult. In the end, isn’t that what we all want, to not see ourselves as the freak abuse survivor, but as an adult like other adults? With strengths and weaknesses, with quirks, and with success alongside failures?

We need to let ourselves be human and create a life where we can feel safe to be human.

Sharing – Almost 20 Percent of Parents Disregard Reality Of Child Sexual Abuse: Study
ByMikeM March 17, 2020March 17, 2020 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Parents, if you’ve had a talk about inappropriate touch with your young child, where did you go to learn about how to have that conversation? Were there resources available locally, an internet resource, schools? Or were you truly left on your own? Please share in the comments so that other parents can be educated. I am aware of a couple of places to get information, but as someone who isn’t a parent, I’m more interested in what has helped you actually talk to your kids about inappropriate touch. Please share.

ByMikeM March 5, 2018March 12, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

I can’t say for myself that this has been an issue, but I have lived in very large cities for most of my life. “Your neighbors don’t have a clue in a city if you’re going to go get some help. But everybody [in a small town] will know if your pickup truck is parked…

Link – Researcher: Mental health issues often progress after brain injury
ByMikeM April 10, 2019April 8, 2019 Reading Time: 1 minute

This is important research, not just to help us understand what happens during relatively mild brain injuries, but to eventually find better ways to treat the mental health issues when it’s being caused by some sort of physical injury to the brain and not responding to typical treatments like talk therapy, etc. ““The study has…
