Did you know??? According to the current NICSA Survey statistics, 88 % of the survivors who have used online counseling services have found it helpful… 89 % report that IM counseling has been helpful… 84 % find that music is helpful... These results compare to a similar 91 % of survivors finding conventional psychotherapy helpful. This means that… Online therapy is working!!! Please consider the many benefits of online counseling to see if this could be an effective option for you. Thank You! To our site volunteers – with an extra special thank you to Nina and ‘The Phoenix Factor’ for all the hours and hours and hours they have contributed to AbuseConsultants.com – you truly are warriors in the fight to protect children. To all the authors of the poetry who have so beautifully expressed their hearts and souls, their pain and joy – may your healing be more complete with each word you write. To those that have listened to “Broken into Pieces” and let our music come into your lives – may music always be a comfort for you. To all that have taken the time to read our site, complete the surveys, and send in comments. We appreciate you!! Thank you for getting involved!
Have you published a book about a topic related to trauma and abuse? Have you published your life story about surviving? Please let AbuseConsultants.com know about it. We could be interested in featuring YOUR book on this site. Would you be interested in helping out with a variety of tasks to benefit survivors of abuse? We are looking for more volunteers at AbuseConsultants.com. Surveys, surveys, and surveys – please send in your responses to both surveys (please remember that staying anonymous is totally acceptable). We are looking forward to presenting this information as quickly as possible.
Valentine’s Day can be a difficult time for many trauma survivors. It can be a painful reminder of a love not there. It can be the anniversary of a horrifying, traumatic experience. It can be a time of loneliness, heartbreak, and desperation. It can be a time full of triggers and overwhelm via society’s graphic display of valentine-related shapes, colors, and physical relationships. Try making this Valentine’s Day a day that can be special for you and for your internal system by doing some safe and comforting activities:
Let this Valentine’s Day be a day that you connect deeper with your internal system – let them know you care, and that you love and accept them (as hard as these may be, it is VERY important part of your healing process.) Be thankful for your people!! They helped to save your life and your sanity, and they are truly are to be treasured and cherished. Hope to see you at the site! Kathy
