Sexual and Physical Abuse
“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.”

Do You Have CPTSD? Take The QUIZ: https://bit.ly/3Eaq8Qb *** When someone mistreated you, have you ever responded with a desperate attempt to win their love, attempting to completely change yourself into the person you THOUGHT they wanted? That is a destructive form of distorted thinking that is common in people who grew up with abuse and neglect. When someone is abusing you, the LAST thing you need is to abandon yourself -- to deny your perception and give away all your power. In this video I answer a letter from a woman who fights to be reunited with an ex who discarded her, and support her in finding a new way forward.
