Many child sexual abuse survivors experience flashbacks. A flashback is a recurrence of a past incident, an “intrusive recalling of a traumatic event(s).” Flashbacks can include “body memories”. Body memories are re-experienced body sensations and or pain originally associated with the trauma. The body may remember what was done to it without the mind’s awareness. [...]]]></description>

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the most  thoroughly researched therapy method used to treat trauma. There are  more  				controlled studies on  EMDR than on  				any other method. A recent  study of  				 individuals who experienced rape, military combat, loss of loved  ones,  disasters and [...]]]></description>

Slaying the dragon can be daunting, but Alice did it.  Slaying the dragon  can also be a metaphor for quitting a habit or leaving an abusive situation in your work or home life.  Slaying the dragon is like being pierced with the sword, removing it and using it.  To do that, you must go [...]]]></description>

I have described how shame and self-blame are  natural consequences of  childhood trauma. Negative self-talk is one way these feelings get  carried into adulthood.

Survivors of abuse had their personal boundaries broken; odds are from someone they knew.  It may be difficult to learn to set limits during anytime in their lives.  Please remember, you have the right to decide what is best for you.
What does a healthy relationship look like? Do you feel you are in a healthy relationship? Are [...]]]></description>

The Woman Warrior, a two-piece pendant was created with the aesthetic of an ancient coin and made into distinctly contemporary jewelry.  With each medallion nestling fluidly into the other, the image of the woman on horseback rides in front. In raised letters on the back piece, The Joan of Arc quote,  I am not afraid.
