Latest blog on #TheFlyingChild “By all means, tell me it’s an option not to carry that shame. That, I might need to hear. But don’t tell me I ‘shouldn’t’ or ‘mustn’t’ feel it, as that would be a bit, well…shaming.” theflyingchild.com/post/don-t-sha… #CSA #shame #unshame

“This is not a blog to debate whether or not survivors of #CSA within the family should cut off contact with their families. It’s a post to acknowledge that neither decision is easy. Both come with challenges - mainly a huge amount of sadness or grief. theflyingchild.com/post/dear-surv…

A reminder of a favourite piece Never underestimate the Butterfly effect Systems change is a process The flaps of their wings can travel over mountains Invisible threads of connection bind us One small touch of a hand

What’s so wonderful about “the butterfly effect” The term was coined in the 1960s by a meteorologist, Edward Lorenz to describe the unpredictable impact in weather in one part of the world, by a change in behaviour in another part. He noted that, “A butterfly’s flap could cause

Another wonderfully written piece, which exactly sums up the mixed feelings arising at Christmas time for survivors of #csa .

no one tells you how lonely it feels to keep reassuring yourself. ‘it’ll get better, just hold on.’ after a while, even hope starts to sound tired

@TheFlyingChild It was, they finally spoke to my isva about it, told her it was best if I spoke to a therapist instead. I'd just spent a year in therapy which gave me the confidence to report it. All I hoped was to give police a name and tell them what he'd done, it made me feel silenced again.

If you are a survivor of CSA, what is the least trauma-informed thing a professional has said to you? A therapist once told me “there’s no point in looking back, you’re an adult now - not a child.” (I just told her I wanted to talk about my childhood) #traumainformed #CSA

Least trauma-informed thing a professional has said to a survivor? ‘God forgives you for your sins’. A Catholic nun and professional counsellor to a man multiply-raped as a child by a Catholic priest. Counsellor engaged by Diocese of Dromore, Newry, N. Ireland.
