After 20+ years in therapy I only discovered IFS this year. In a small pilot study, 16 weekly sessions left 92% of participants no longer meeting PTSD criteria. Not a cure-all, but the results are hopeful. Healing is possible. 💭 www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-t...

If you experience abuse in any form, plan your exit now. It only escalates 💙

Barry Goldstein on harmful outcome cases. These are extreme decisions where the alleged abuser is given custody and a safe, protective mother who is the primary attachment figure is limited to supervised or no visitation. Saunders says these decisions are ALWAYS wrong and based on flawed practices.

@theanthonydavis.bsky.social Did you just refer to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal as a consensual relationship between adults? I'm not taking away from the differences between Trump and SA of minors, but adults or not there was a power imbalance and it was harassment and coercion at best. Just sayin.

Before Obamacare, being a woman was a pre-existing condition, including coverage denial for domestic violence, contraception, pregnancy, and certain cancers. You could be charged more for insurance premiums just for being female. It was called a 'gender rating'.

This is Jesse Mack Butler from Oklahoma. Butler r*ped two teen girls over a period of 9 months, nearly killed them by strangulation, which was recorded on video. Butler was convicted of 11 counts of r*pe and sexual assault and was sentenced to 78 years in prison. But he will serve 0 jail time 1/2

Remember what depreciation is as Epstein associates use it to describe a young girl: the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life, accounting for its gradual loss of value due to wear and tear, age, or obsolescence.

If you're stuck in isolation with someone abusive, message me about my make up, if I still sell it? I'll know to keep checking in. Ask specifically about my eyeliner and I will ask what your address is, so I can send you a free sample, so I can contact authorities for you. 💖 Stay safe!

I'm so sorry if I've added you more than once in the last few days! I ran into issues following people from starter packs and just had to reset everything. So I'm carefully reviewing and adding each back one at a time to make sure it’s done properly to avoid the spam/bots. Thanks for your patience!

I created this Bluesky on 4/16/2025—the same day I published my first article on Medium. I’ll likely repost some content here that I previously posted [anonymously] on Facebook. Please bear with me as I build from the ground up now. It’s a bumpy road adjusting to openly speaking about these things.💙
For years, I’ve discussed domestic abuse from a faceless platform. My advocacy began intentionally quiet — I avoided personal references and refrained from naming anyone (including myself). Instead, I focused on the issues as a whole. My efforts have been aimed at supporting fellow advocates, professionals, allies, and survivors.


Recently my privacy was compromised without my consent and without any warning. The sense of security I once found in obscurity is no longer intact. The very reason I stayed nameless was to avoid backlash — but it came regardless. So while this exposure wasn’t my decision, I am choosing to reclaim my voice in the process, even as I navigate the uncertainty of fully embracing the shift.


So here I am now, writing under my real name — not because it’s safer, but because anonymity didn’t offer any lasting protection. Hiding hasn’t ever helped.


Visibility definitely carries risk — but staying silent doesn’t eliminate that, and certainly comes with its own burdens too.


I’m not here to talk about my trauma history for clicks, it’s not about me at all. It’s about pointing out the failing systems, identifying the patterns that perpetuate harm, and providing the support and information I once needed — so others can access it when it matters most.


So this is me — no longer in the shadows. Not because I’m no longer in fear, but because I refuse to let fear determine what I say — or what I stay silent about — ever again. I am Jamie Harris Posey, and I’m a survivor of domestic violence. More importantly, I’m committed to using my own wreckage to help others navigate a path to safety.
Use your pain. Show others how you have overcome your suffering. Become a beacon of hope. We are all lighthouses built from the bones of broken ships. We can keep others from crashing.

Sadly, this is not uncommon among domestic terrorists. The majority of mass shooters in this century also have a history of family violence.

"Even for those who aren’t religious, Easter can be a lighthearted celebration centered around kids and community. But for others — especially in households affected by domestic violence or child abuse — Easter, like many holidays, can become a time of increased danger and pain."
