Survivor Acronyms: SI, ED & PTSD
If you saw my post from February 7th about reaching out in cyberspace, you know that I've been posting on some survivor support message boards lately. I can't tell you how helpful this experience has already been for me. So far, I've found these forums to be truly supportive, uplifting and helpful. One of the reasons I wanted to join these groups is to see what other survivors seem to want and need on their journeys of recovery.
I'm amazed at how much I've found out already. I truly want to be of some help to other survivors through this blog and my website: www.survivorscanthrive.com. But, I can't just assume to know what might be helpful to other survivors-turning-thrivers. What I've been doing on these boards is--posting, yes--but also listening. What I'm hearing is that there are quite a few topics near and dear to these fellow survivors that I have yet to include in my blog or on my website. In the weeks to come, I'll be adding some new topics. Here's a laundry list of what I want to do so far:

In the weeks to come, I'll be adding some new topics. Here's a laundry list of what I want to do so far:
- Add information helpful to male survivors (there are so many out there)
- Add more research & info on PTSD and dissociation
- Tell the tale of my own dissociation
- Relate how trauma processing and EMDR have helped me
- Add helpful information and links about SI (self-injury)
- Talk about rape and other forms of sexual assault (in addition to child sexual abuse)
- Add helpful info and links about ED (eating disorders)
Gotta go! I've got a lot of work to do.
