A NEW SELF WRITTEN. WE MUSTN’T JUST TICK THE BOX IN OUR RESPONSE TO ROTHERHAM. September 13, 2014. By A New Self Written. Samantha Morton’s piece in the Guardian today is brave and stark. We need to hear more of these stories. I do not want to see any of these girls’ experiences belittled by their very scale, nor do I want the scale of the response needed to mean that we are blunt and unsophisticated. In writing this I had the familiar feeling of ‘who am I to be saying all this? As a victim of abuse.

https://anewselfwritten.org/2015/05/02/sequelae-another-word-in-the-abuse-survivor-lexicon

A NEW SELF WRITTEN. SEQUELAE – ANOTHER WORD IN THE ABUSE SURVIVOR LEXICON. May 2, 2015. By A New Self Written. Trusty old Wikipedia tells me that a sequela (usually used in the plural, sequelae) is a “pathological condition resulting from a disease, injury, therapy, or other trauma.” Basically, something medical and noticeable, an identifiable condition that happens as a consequence of something else. I was prompted to find a definition after I read an article in the New Statesman by Dr Phil Whitaker.
