- I know Lucinda posted about self-care and I could have put these there but it seemed like it also needed its own space. I once knew someone who was self-harming and learned of the butterfly project. It might not work for everyone but I thought I'd...
- It's been a while since I've written. I had gone to a 6 week support group back in the early part of the year. I thought it would be the magical turning point and it helped some but any progress I thought I was making seems to have gone into...
- So I'm going to attempt to go to a support group for the first time tomorrow. It is a drop in type group at the local rape crisis center that meets every other week. The topic sort of gets figured out at the time of the meeting by whomever happens...
- I recently jumped into RARs other corner of cyberspace on Facebook. Having had a couple of days going between both groups I can understand why a lot of people are over there. It's like Dial Up vs. Cable for getting on the internet. I saw posts get...
- So the therapist I have been working with that is trying to do this EMDR stuff with me, which I find frustrating all by itself. Has me working on some difficult thing that I can't even seem to talk about from when I was a kid. So I've been trying...
- The couples therapist thinks the issues around sex between me and my husband are beyond her typical couples stuff. So she's referring us to a sex therapist that she doesn't really know much about other than the fact she does sex therapy. I've...
- There have been some workmen at my house for several days. I've been fairly calm considering there are strange guys in my house and I'm basically alone with them while they are working. They seem to be nice enough and I stay out of their way and...
- I was watching the news about the Tornados in Oklahoma. My prayers go out to all who have been impacted.
- This was posted by RAINN on their Facebook page for anyone that might find this useful: Calling all sexual assault survivors in the military: Join the conversation! DoD Safe Helpline just launched a new "group chat" - every Monday & Wednesday from...
- The first session with the new therapist went ok. The room itself seemed more like I was in an office ready to discuss a bank loan or college admissions but I suppose that's how some offices are and at this point I might be willing to trade off...
- I have an appointment scheduled with a new therapist a couple weeks from now. When I asked about shoes she said this is a regular office building people wear shoes :) Her professional bio looks promising "has focused most of her clinical work in...
- I was supposed to meet with my new therapist today (it was originally supposed to happen last week but I was sick with a fever and stayed home). So we scheduled for today. I start off by waiting in the wrong waiting room. Apparently there is an...
- Someone said the following to me : "The guy doesn't have had to be aware that I wasn't consenting in order for this to count as rape, he should have made sure that I was indeed consenting in order for it not to be; for it to qualify as sex rather...
- She's taking on new clients and takes the insurance I have but am waiting to hear back on whether she thinks she can work with me. Part of me wants her to be able to and part of me doesn't.
- I was on edge after the mall shooting in Oregon. Then today I get a call from my mother in law asking if my brother's family was ok and I had no clue what she was talking about. Then she filled me in on a school shooting in Connecticut and I...
