Take a Look Around

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last week, I wrote a post on my other blog about Andy Warhol being a lifestreamer, because he took photos/video of what was going on around him and turned it into art. In that post, I noted that he was smart enough to surround himself with creative and interesting people, which increased the likelihood of capturing interesting things.

Today, I was thinking about healing and overcoming an abusive childhood, and a similar thought occurred to me. If you’re working on healing, are you surrounding yourself with people who help you toward that goal, either by being supportive, understanding, or who are simply people who inspire you to reach greater heights? Or, are you surrounding yourself with people who feel comfortable, but feed into all of the behaviors you are trying to unlearn?

If the art of our lives is created by what is all around us, what are the people around you contributing to it? If they’re not contributing the things you need, find some people who do.

    The Many Ways We Invalidate Someone’s Story

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    We could also talk about abuse here too, and all the ways our stories all invalidated. How many of these have you heard from folks who find out about the abuse you dealt with as a child, or even as an adult:

    “You were young, you’ll get over it” (Or you don’t remember it that well)

    “Are you sure it was abuse?”

    “I can’t imagine (abuser) doing that”

    “Why didn’t you just leave?”

    “How could you have let that happen?”

    When It Comes to Family, There’s No Right Way

    The headline is something I’ve been reminding myself of over the last few weeks. You see, about a month ago, my father fell extremely ill and was hospitalized. I chose not to travel across the country to see him because I had other things going on, such as work and dental surgery. However, I stayed…

  • Touching

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve been talking with someone about the topic of being touched in public, or by various people. I’m somewhat fascinated by what other people’s feelings are on the subject. I’m very uncomfortable being touched by all but a few people in the world, and I’ve slways assumed that’s because of the abuse. That short list…

  • What We Wish Parents Understood

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The second thing was that so many of the things your kids need when you find out they’ve been abused are the same things that adult survivors need as well. We need to be believed, we need to feel safe, we need to know that we are worthy of protection, and we need to be heard. Those things are a significant part of healing, regardless of our age. If you have a loved one of any age who is trying to heal from sexual abuse, these are good things to remember, and you should read the whole thing!

  • What Are We Unlearning from Childhood Anyway?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    These all ring so true to either my own experience or the experiences of other survivors I have known through the years. One of the biggest hurdles we have to clear before we can really even begin to have a semi-normal adult life is believing that the way we grew up is the way all relationships work. Even all these years later, I still have to remind myself that what I do is good enough, at home and at work. Or that it’s OK to emotionally connect with new people. It’s really difficult to unlearn those lessons from childhood, and yet it’s so freeing to realize that what happened to us, wasn’t because any of these were true. What happened to us was the result of someone else’s actions that are completely unrelated to who we are, or what we deserved.
