And another thing

A comment left on that last post reminded me of another important reality. Healing from childhood abuse takes time, there’s no doubt about that, but the other thing is, it’s never too late to start! There’s plenty of times I look at my life, at the age of 35, and wish I hadn’t wasted so much of my 20’s trying to avoid dealing with the abuse issues. On the other hand, it’s better that I started late than not at all. No matter how many years have gone by, let the remaining ones be full of healing and happiness.

  • Concentric Circles of Trauma

    No, the easiest way to break up those circles, as any kid who threw rocks into the water can tell you, is to throw another rock and create new concentric circles starting from a different location.

    In my metaphor about the trauma, I wonder what those other rocks could be. Mental health treatment? Care and support from family and friends? The elimination of stigma attached to trauma?

    How about instead of ignoring the circles, we started throwing some more useful rocks and disrupting the cycles of trauma that we see repeated over and over again in those circles?

    Snake Oil

    Over the years of writing this blog, I’ve come to be very accepting of the different ways that survivors heal. What worked for me, may not work for you. We’re individuals, with our own issues tied to the specifics of what happened, and saying that there’s only one way to heal would be foolish. Some…

  • Daisy Coleman Found Her Voice, But Her Struggle Didn’t Stop

    Which brings us to Daisy. She did not get her justice from the court system, quite the opposite. But, she did something else that many assume is a sign of “being healed”, she found her voice. She told her story, she had a movie made where she could speak her truth to the whole world. Surely, that is healed, right?

    As we now know, that probably wasn’t the case. I assume that many people who watched that documentary went on to become fans of Daisy, admiring her for having the courage to tell her story, happy for her that she was able to overcome, but that had nothing to do with the reality of what surviving actually is.

    The coincidence that I spoke of came this morning, when I popped over to Twitter during a quick coffee break, and saw Rachel Denhollander, another survivor who’s made an appearance in a documentary, Athlete A, on her involvement with the Larry Nasser case, talking about this article:

  • There’s A Lot of Mental Health Data Out There, But Do We Understand It?

    I wanted to write this as a companion to something I wrote on my professional blog, Will Big Data Give Us a Whole Bunch of Questionable Correlations? That post, and this one, is also based on a recent episode of Seth Godin’s podcast. – Sample Size. The reason I think both of those things are…

  • Some Conversations Are Easier Online

    I have understood this for a long time. I can write here without having to see anyone react immediately when they read it. I can see their reaction when I tell someone about being abused in person. I can watch their facial expressions and body language. I can see every bit of their discomfort, and their signs of dismissal cut me. If you don’t think telling someone in person that you need their help isn’t scary, I can only assume that is because you’ve never done it.

    So when you see someone share something on social media about their mental health, and your response is to wonder why they didn’t just talk to you about it, remember how much harder that is. Maybe they aren’t ready yet, or you just haven’t done enough to earn that trust. Consider how many people in your life may be dealing with very difficult things they just haven’t told anyone about yet.

  1. Thank you for you courage to cope. I am trying to heal from quite a few things myself including child abuse. It’s been tough when I feel like denial is really a powerful thing that has shaped me just as much as the abuse itself. Denial is another thing I find frightening to face, especially in the psychiatric profession. I am listening to myself and trying to heal. Depression is still an issue for me. I am still looking for the right therapist. View my blog, especially the link on child abuse. I felt this psychotherapist took a really eloquent and sensitive approach towards the real impact on survivors. He is building a monument to survivors.
