FUN FACT: Even prehistoric children played! Play is important for people of all ages. A healthy, happy inner child creates a healthy, happy adult. So draw in the sand, watch a chipmunk. Be silly. Indulge. You'll find it's liberating! #mentalhealth#healcsa https://t.co/SG4MCqbmbA

@DanaLArcuri Forgiveness is not required. But refusal to let go of focusing on โwhat they did to meโ is highly destructive. Until a survivor can shift focus to themselves, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to heal.
@DanaLArcuri Forgiveness can liberate a survivor if they can apply it to themselves, deepening their understanding that it wasnโt their fault, and forgiving their younger self for not knowing better, or not fighting back, or not finding a way out. Emotions donโt always make sense.
โBeing traumatised does make you a difficult person to get along with. Because you suddenly get angry, you suddenly shut down or you space out. But more difficult is to live that life: not being able to trust yourself.โ Bessel Van der Kolk

Watch this beautiful video of encouragement and support for anyone struggling with self-pity, despair or illness. It's a perfect message for CSA survivors, reminding us that CSA does not define our lives unless we let it. #CSAsurvivor#mentalhealth https://t.co/DFscbo0SiU
This one made me cry! Her points on healing from CSA were good and valid. But her closing is truly inspirational! โค๏ธ Watch to the end.

Have you ever experienced shame about being overly-sexual? Did others know, call you names or talk behind your back because of your promiscuity?
You're not alone! Hypersexuality is common among CSA survivors.
