Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1444

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- Tonight's show will be a Discussion / Workshop on Disclosing Abuse, Why Do I Feel Worse??? Why Can't I Function??? Why Is My Life Falling Apart??? We will talk about what was going on in our lives that led to disclosing our abuse, the impact that had on us, and what we started to learn and do as a result. We'll be using the material in the article "Older People Surviving Child Sexual Abuse," an essay by 'Louise' who starts out with the note: "While it's true that some older survivors of child sexual abuse can have experiences that trigger a powerful resurgence of past trauma, this article is not meant to state that this will be the case for all. Rather, I hope it will be a comfort and offer support to older survivors who are experiencing a hard time with their pasts. You are not alone, and it is not hopeless."  ~~ This series of special topic shows will give us an opportunity to share information and experience with each other as we continue on our healing journey. The moderator will be Jacque LaFountaine RN, retired, who has been actively recovering from childhood abuse and trauma for 25 years. "When I started therapy, I learned that childhood abuse and trauma was affecting every area of my life, but there was very little information on what issues needed to be addressed or how to address them."
