"The goal of the therapist is to find the child. When we have found the child, the child has also made an attempt at being seen. So there we are, face to face with the obstacles and disturbances between us. The child has made some kind of meaning-filled decision to come out and find us. In this space between, this joint, we are charged with holding still and listening for the many forms of nonverbal language the child may use to speak about their hurt. Premature efforts on our part may add static that pushes the child back, away from us. We will be tested in similar ways that the infant needed to test the integrity of an adult, when they cried out with their sharp and sudden needs. This book explores when something has gone wrong. But more so, ultimately it is about righting the relationship through the same trust the child requires at birth. When harm has occurred, the psyche endeavors to defend the self from annihilation by concealing it for the sake of protection within deep unconscious regions of the psyche. In this hidden place, the child suffers somatically and emotionally until the lost aspects can be safely found and re-embodied. In this, the child and the therapist enlist a third entity, the Us in the relationship, to reclaim lost aspects of psyche, or Self. Several chapters explore what us means to the child, with the child's expressions revealing this need for mutuality"--
"I've heard it said that for alcoholics like me, there are only four possibilities: prison, the psychiatric ward, death or sobriety. I didn't go to jail, but did end up at the police station, in a drunk tank. The psychiatric hospital? I was there for a week, it was shocking. Death? I came close to it several times. I've come a long way, a very long way.

Looking at the ruins, what has been destroyed and applying the tools to rebuild takes time and tears but the end result is worth it.

I have been married for over 60 years and children and grandchildren bring much fun and excitement into my life. I sing and play the fiddle (it was a violin in Colorado) with my husband who plays guitar. My ride is a 2010 red Mustang convertible with a stick shift. I scrapbook, make cards, sew and work puzzles for fun but the hobby that brings me the most pleasure is people. Am very involved in a local church where I have the opportunity to teach and the joy of helping members find comfortable places to serve.

Have you ever wondered what being groomed is, or what it looks like? Or growing up thinking your whole worth was based on what others said about you? The feeling that your only worth was based on whether or not you had sex with your partners? And what does dissociation look like?This book starts out in a state of disorder jumping from topic to topic which is common in those with Complex-PTSD. It will take you on a journey through the author's healing process and why it is so important for her and her family's lives at this time. As the book continues through childhood, Athena allows her dissociative state to take over and works through the first twenty years of her life. She touches on topics that others would be uncomfortable sharing; like getting your first menstrual cycle at an inopportune time; or how suppositories and snow suits don't mix when you're 6 years old. Her journey is not over by a long shot but those first twenty years lays the groundwork for what's coming. She believes it's not what you've been through but how you choose to move forward that allows you to live in a state of positivity and harmony in an already difficult world.
How can injustice be uprighted from that horrible hot blistering day in Florida, August 2005. As a grandmother and grandfather waited outside of a divorce and custody courtroom to testify to the best of their knowledge to protect their precious granddaughter. Instead, the grandparents were SHANGHAIED into the courtroom by a deceiving Judge. As they were entering the Judge immediately cleared the courtroom. He then railed upon the grandparents, ordered the police officers to [illegally] SHACKLE them, and drag them out the back door to six months in Prison. No attorneys present, no rights, no law. In addition, the evil Judge applied a zero contact Restraining Order with the granddaughter they had helped raise. Their grandchild had trusted the grandmother with her tearful story of painful abuse. How could this happen when they had broken no laws, and were protecting their grandchild? Even worse - the Evil Judge stated that he was giving sole custody of the child to her Dad, her alleged perpetrator... This story is about love...struggles...faith...trust being broken...abuse...betrayal and Injustice resulting in irrevocable loss. Annie Aplin, author Born in Georgia, mother of two children, and fourteen grandchildren. I served in the political system in the USA, as well as a Missionary in several Communist/Socialist/Dictatorship countries. While serving in Cuba, Venezuela, China, Haiti, etc., my eyes were opened to the atrocities happening within my own country, and the necessity to expose it. Knowledgeably Voting in person is our duty to preserve Freedom in our nation. Exposing evil with the truth - at all risks - is the way to clean up a corrupt government system. Proverbs 17:15 ERV...The LORD hates these two things: punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.
Uden at bevæge mig, uden at åbne mine øjne og uden at trække vejret lader jeg, som om jeg sover og prøver at bevare roen. Jeg har lært, hvordan jeg bliver følelsesløs og kan forsvinde ud af min krop. Alt bliver sort, jeg er helt alene, selvom manden rører ved min krop og kønsdele. Jeg ligger på madrassen på gulvet uden forbindelse med min krop, jeg er alene med mit hjerte, som jeg kan høre banke hurtigt. Bag smilet er en hudløs beretning om, hvad der sker, når et barn bliver udsat for seksuelle overgreb. Det er forfatterens personlige historie, og den er fortalt og udgivet for at sætte fokus på et tabubelagt emne. Bogen er en øjenåbner for alle, der har faglig eller familiemæssig kontakt til ofre for seksuelle overgreb – og en identifikationsmulighed for dem, der selv har gået noget lignende igennem. Laila Andrés er i dag midt i fyrrerne og er flyttet tilbage til sin barndomsby Ilulissat. Hun har et godt liv og bestræber sig på at være ’den voksne, hun selv manglede som barn.’
