Evening! Welcome to our #ptsdchat about Child Abuse Prevention with Kate Gillie and Tim Grutzius! We have a podcast. Link is in the newsletter.
Tim Grutzius @holisticff
@KateGillieART A1 The only experience I have with child abuse is as a paramedic. It is very devastating and can leave the abused very broken, lost, and thirsting for love. #ptsdchat
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
RT @cannonfyre12: #ptsdchat Good evening, day, afternoon, or night to all who are here tonight! Gald to be here, I may ramble, I'm a little off due to sleeping meds! Woo Hoo!
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
RT @holisticff: @cannonfyre12 Hooah!! #ptsdchat
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
RT @cannonfyre12: #ptsdchat A1.a The effects can be physical scarring, psychological dismemberment, abnormally high levels of rage and an inability for the child2 exercise self-control around others. Bedwetting, body injuring, anti-social behaviors, aggressive and abusive actions against others.
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
RT @cannonfyre12: #ptsdchat A1 the mistreatment, neglect of, and the physical and psychological torture of a child at the hands of anyone from whom they cannot protect themselves. Even those who stand silent are guilty because they know but won't stop what is happening.

Let us take a moment to reflect on the events in Toronto the other day. @TorontoBTB #ptsdchat We are there for you and will assist in any way possible
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@KateGillieART I always wondered how someone learned right from wrong when abuse started as a baby. The trauma and recovery from child abuse is for a lifetime. #ptsdchat

#ptsdchat A3 Where to begin is subject that is more of a personal aspect on an individual level than a generic one. I see individuals so I would start by saying to the person that they are in an open space, where they are safe to talk about it.

@TruthPathing @KateGillieART When one is a baby, this trauma becomes all they know. I think it would be difficult to process and differentiate between right and wrong. #ptsdchat

#ptsdchat A3 for the person to feel open to the option that the safety they want, is now truly available. Instantaneous healing is not one of the truths about being helpful to anyone who has been abused. the process can take years, but trust must be known from the start.

@holisticff @TorontoBTB We are out here to listen as a group, but as importantly, individually. DM's are OK. #Toronto #TorontoStrong #PTSDchat

#ptsdchat I let the person give me the information they want to share, and I don't comment unless they ask me to. I find that when I'm with my therapist, that she should want to hear what I'm saying before she has anything to add. Getting out and into the air is important

#ptsdchat I was abused by participating in first-responder situations, but I didn't know it at the time. Events in Toronto brought back the worst day of my life. I am triggered and going around in circles beyond belief!
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@cannonfyre12 It seems like in some situations it is very difficult to get involved. That makes kids feel like they have no one to help them. #ptsdchat

@cannonfyre12 When crushing child abusers does one also crush the abuser's abuser and the abuser before them? #PTSDChat
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@holisticff @cannonfyre12 When you hear for a year about horrific childhood experiences and hear daily of the emotional scars there for life, it makes you feel desperate to help. I had more sadness and "memories" over a child abuse story told to me than about my own stuff. #ptsdchat

@KateGillieART A3 With assistance of a qualified professional, they can work through the trauma and acknowledge that it was not their fault. Kinda of a Good Will Hunting moment. #ptsdchat #RobinWilliams

#ptsdchat A4 I forgave myself, but never him! I rode him about what he tried to do to me, until his death. I never allowed him to forget it. I kept him in my sights and threatened to mess him up as an adult. He was fearful of that, He knew I would've torn him apart. I had rage!
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@holisticff @cannonfyre12 It brands on you and nothing else you hear along those lines can be listened to ever again without emotion attached. #ptsdchat In the podcast, just listening to Kate, this other story came back as well. Took me by surprise.
Tim Grutzius @holisticff
@cannonfyre12 How did you get past this rage? #ptsdchat

@TruthPathing @cannonfyre12 If we can't lesson someone's trauma then I think 'helpful' doesn't really apply to us and even 'trustworthy' might be an overstatement. #PTSDChat
The Doc as eR+T=L living on purpose! @CosmicLifeOfMe
#ptsdchat Often we are unaware that we have been affected by our experiences. As a child, I was bullied and had a family friend attempt to sexually molest/rape me. My ability to hurt him at that time didn't save me from the memories I still feel about the attempt.
Sue Wood @TruthPathing

#ptsdchat there is no such thing as a benign attempt at being abused, it causes emotional reactions and fears that you will become a victim. I couldn't tell because many people would have been altered in ways they didn't deserve. I took it from him, but it's still with me.
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@bannedtweet @cannonfyre12 They got to a point where it was whatever they could do with very little access or nothing at all by being totally blocked. I am not disagreeing with you, though. #ptsdchat

Hi Jess @identitydiss how are you? #ptsdchat
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@bannedtweet @cannonfyre12 Then there's the difference between "lessening" and "eliminating" trauma. #ptsdchat
Tim Grutzius @holisticff
@KateGillieART A4 I think it is more about self-compassion, and not hating yourself for something you believe you may have caused. #ptsdchat
The Doc as eR+T=L living on purpose! @CosmicLifeOfMe
#ptsdchat A4.a I feel forgiveness to a person who purposely hurt me is a negative point for me. I don't have to forgive an icehole, I can stay angry with that person and NEVER let him off the hook! I need that for my health

A4: Forgiveness begins and ends with the person who was wronged - including whether to choose to forgive. The benefits can be life changing but that doesn't mean it's a good fit for everyone. #PTSDChat
Sue Wood @TruthPathing
@bannedtweet I wonder what percentage of people can accomplish that, believe it is possible, and want to change. #ptsdchat Some very dedicated people have changed.

@cannonfyre12 you are welcome my friend. #ptsdchat

@cannonfyre12 It is hard for me 2 understand, since u took control of the situation, why it scarred u, and I know it did. With your inner and outer strength and your success, I have a hard time processing this, and I really want to understand. #ptsdchat I am asking which elements scarred you.
The Doc as eR+T=L living on purpose! @CosmicLifeOfMe
#ptsdchat NOw, we have laws that are more fractured than the victims. More people are being broken by apathetic judges and police and family members and friends. If I am a stranger, I'll get involved.
