A long 🧵 . Please read to end 🙏🏼 Today was the annual New Year gathering, in my childhood home - a place where I was sexually abused. I lived there until I was 18. The perpetrator is no longer there but the memories of abuse are - in my old bedroom where he would come to ‘kiss me goodnight’. 1/

You need to know it's common for trauma survivors to feel guilt about setting limits, up to & including "no contact," w/ people who trigger us-- but that guilt doesn't mean it was a bad decision.

You are not "bad," "weak," or "stupid" for struggling or experiencing symptoms. Don't get in your head about experiencing symptoms. Refocus, again & again (& again), on responding to your symptoms w/ patience, compassion, & skill. This is recovery.

Pretty much every trauma survivor I've ever worked with has been a highly sensitive soul existing in a highly complicated physical situation-- including their body, their housing or living situation, their economic circumstances, & their medical status. For starters.

My teacher said when I was in his class he had concerns about me. His inaction at the time meant the abuse within my home continued, which is bad enough, but it‘s devastating when we grow up and realise no adult had the courage to speak up or fight for us as children. #CSASurvivorSky #CSA

We're not gonna yell or pressure or shame ourselves out of a flashback, or any other trauma response. Yeah, self-compassion & patience & kind self talk might be kind of cringe-- but in my experience they're necessary tools for finding our way back.

Trauma survivors know: "resilience" is a double edged sword. Yeah, we survived. But surviving often leaves us w/ toxic BS (Belief Systems) about whether we "have" to endure pain alone, and/or whether it's acceptable to reach out for help (or even admit that we're struggling).

Society needs to wake up and acknowledge that paedophiles are hidden in plain sight - and in EVERY corner of society! If everyone focused on this reality, and not just 'the few' in society, then children would be better protected from the wider realities of child sexual abuse. It ruins lives.

Stop sharing pictures and videos of your children on social media. I mean anywhere in any capacity, not on your private accounts that you think are just for close family and friends and certainly not on public accounts. As quick as you post them they are stolen/stored. #ProtectYourChild #CSA #CSE

Trauma survivors need to be prepared for, when something good happens, the one-two punch of "I don't deserve it" & "it's not going to last anyway" to crop up & try to rob us of any chance to enjoy it. That sh*t is so generic Trauma Brain hype I can predict it now. Don't bite.

Child sexual abuse raises such strong moral imperatives that it is often "bracketed out" of discussion, so that people can talk about other things that interest them. For instance, academic discussion of children's "digital rights" and "digital citizenship" often relativises the harms of CSA as just

Well said. Better that children’s ’digital citizenship’ be postponed to 16+ than they be left to the complex risks posed by adults who either want to abuse them or don’t appreciate their vulnerabilities as things stand.

Thanks. I'd prefer that social media platforms are child safe. But they aren't, and they won't be for the foreseeable future. The people saying we should slow down, not rush into age verification, etc, are not the people at the frontlines of this issue, swamped by increased victims month on month.
