It's EVERYWHERE and affects EVERYONE - we are all either survivors of sexual abuse ourselves, or know someone that is. We all know several, actually, it's the most under-reported crime there is, and victims sometimes never tell anyone, ever. Never. We have to make it safe for them to do so, but that's a whole other blog.

If you are looking for help, these are a few sites that are good - I know my readers know of many others, so I ask you to list them with your comments, please.

The Wounded Healer Journal

Survivors of Incest Anonymous

The Center at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington

For trauma therapist referral and a brilliant approach to healing trauma, check out the Sensorimotor psychotherapy Institute http://www.sensorimotorpsychotherapy.org

One rarely mentioned result of profound trauma is the traumatic trigger of a sudden opening or spritual/transformational crisis. It's often mistaken for a psychotic break or emotional break down, when ,in fact, it's a spiritual emergency. Check out articles and referrals from The Spiritual Emergence Network. Here's a description http://www.nor.com.au/community/spiritualemergence/page2.html
