One Survivors plight to shatter the silence. February 28, 2013. In 16 days, exactly, it will be ten years since I was raped. I have kept silent for nearly all those years. It’s deafening. I will NOT be kept quiet anymore. Do you hear that? It’s the shattering of silence. If you’re not familiar with it, there are a lot of journal exercises which I am doing my best to complete. Each one shatters the silence. This entry was tagged rape. 5 thoughts on “ Deafening Silence. February 28, 2013 at 12:54 pm. And I...

Recovery… | The Shattering Silence

https://theshatteringsilence.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/recovery

One Survivors plight to shatter the silence. March 17, 2013. Journal Activity p. 32. What is your definition of recovery and how will you know when it has happened? My definition of recovery isn’t something that I would have happen. Recovery to me is the process in which one works through a specific issue (or ten). Being recovered would sound more appropriate. I’ll know it has happened when:. I don’t think about It every day. 8211; When I can have a normal, healthy sex drive. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

One Survivors plight to shatter the silence. July 26, 2013. What’s to come? I’m scared. I’m scared to get back into this.

I’m scared I can’t do this. This entry was tagged abuse. 11 thoughts on “ What’s to come? July 26, 2013 at 2:42 pm. July 26, 2013 at 3:32 pm. July 26, 2013 at 5:17 pm. Telling one’s s...

Where you from? – Jessica Basi

https://jessicabasi.com/2013/12/08/whereyoufrom

This post is difficult to illustrate. So here’s a picture of a monkey. Ahh the question. Those three little words that individually hold no power at all, yet put together make me want to rip my slightly tanned, racially ambiguous ears off. At home, in a London bar, a bloke comes over to you. He has a face of confidence. He clearly has a winning line…. Hi So, where are you from? And it starts. ‘London.’. Signals to barman. ‘No, I mean, where are you. Man walks over in bar. ‘So, what’s your ethnicity?

Treading water | The Shattering Silence

https://theshatteringsilence.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/treading-water

One Survivors plight to shatter the silence. July 30, 2013. My therapist asked Do you feel ready? We can go at your own pace. My response? I think I’ve always been ready. Just scared. So, if we went at my pace, we’d only be treading water.’ I don’t want to tread water anymore. I need to be pulled farther out in the ocean so I can learn to swim back to shore on my own. Sure there are sharks and other dangers lurking beneath the surface. But, I need to learn to deal with them. July 31, 2013 at 5:23 pm.

What is the difference between a Victim and a Survivor? How do you think you will recognize the point when you have transformed from victim to survivor?
