Recognise the pain

Been a busy afternoon in Group therapy with other women survivors..and today got the funds to get the book edited by Prof Susan Bewley that I used to work with......... Learning to recognise all the themes and patterns of abuse and all the feelings and pain in the aftermath journey to healing and wellness.. There really needs to be a Government; DWP and professionals recognition of the long term post traumatic effects and the flashbacks women can get..... like having been in a war zone or torture situation...... Some women may be looking as if they are coping and are trying like crazy to cope for children they may have ....but at some point there is a need to fall completely into the aftermath pain and work through it with help and counselling.... 

The journey to rebuild needs full support to be successful.... and regain confidence and detox from the abuse....
