New Newsletter Option

As some of you may know, there are numerous ways to subscribe to this blog. If you’re an RSS user, yes we have that. If you’re an old-school email subscriber, yes we have that too. Currently, the email newsletter is sent each Monday morning and contains a recap of everything that has been posted here the previous week. Those two options are not going anywhere.

What I have been experimenting with, and which might interest some of you, is the new email newsletter tool that Twitter has made available, called Revue. It’s a little more hands-on than the current newsletter, so while I plan to send it out every Friday, I can’t swear to you that will always happen. On the other hand, I get to add some more stuff to this newsletter because it’s more hands-on. So I can pull in some links from other sources, drop in some text, etc. In essence, I’ll be experimenting with it, but you can expect that the goal will remain the goal I’ve always had with my blog, writing, and sharing interesting things related to surviving child abuse, and mental health issues.

You can subscribe, and take a peek at some of my recent experimental issues over at my Revue profile. I hope you’ll consider subscribing, and sharing with your friends if you find it useful!

  • Why Reading Just The Headline is Misleading

    The content of the article is pretty accurate, but if you saw the article shared on Twitter, for example, with just the headline, what would your take-away be? Oh, the headline? This is what it said:

    “If this happened to you in childhood, you may have mental health problems”

    That headline seems to imply the exact opposite of the content of the article. The study they are reporting on, actually says the opposite of that. It implies that we really don’t know or understand all of the causes of mental health issues. For some, it may be tied to childhood trauma, for another person it may be tied to something else, or someone with a lot of childhood trauma didn’t grow up with mental health issues. 

    Since we know many, many people only read the headline and then either move on, or share based on the headline alone. I can’t help but wonder how many people are sharing something, assuming that it says that childhood trauma causes mental health issues, when the article actually says it’s more complicated than that. 

  • New survivor blog

    I meant to blog about this a couple of days ago, but work events have conspired to draw my attention away from many things. Typical. 🙂 Anyway, this particular person found their way over to the forums and shared their site with us, http://onceabused.blogspot.com/. By the way, there have been a couple of folks who…

  • While I’m Away

    I’ll be leaving work early today and hitting the road to visit the in-laws to do our Christmas celebration. I’ll be limited to dialup access all weekend so I don’t expect I’ll be getting much content added around here. I just wanted to take this opportunity to point out that, even when I’m not posting…
