Trauma Survivors Deserve to Be Heard

Here it is, a really high stress level. Triggering stuff is everywhere. Please screen EVERYTHING to be safe. We won't list all of it here, because that wouldn't be helpful.

Instead, some points to keep in mind:

Regardless of the trauma, all survivors deserve to be heard.
It's not your fault.
PTSD is an emotional problem with lots of elements to it.
You're not a case file in some therapist's office. You're a human being that deserves respect.
What's more important? Listening to survivors? Or, protecting the rich and powerful who
"allegedly" knew about rape and did nothing?
Why do many people say "sexual abuse" and not rape? Would you ask a woman rape survivor
when were you sexually abused? Isn't that like saying when were you interrogated with enhanced
techniques?
Do the rich and powerful who protect pedophiles ever lose any sleep at night?
Why won't people listen to little kids and others who were raped?
Does PTSD ever completely go away?
What would someone else do if they were raped? Would they turn to you because you're an
"expert" on the subject?
You have to protect yourself at all costs.
Do the rich and powerful who protect pedophiles ever have nightmares about being raped?
Do they wake up in the middle of the night screaming and not knowing where they are?
If a little kid is raped and no one will listen or help, what are they supposed to do?
If you're not famous and you were raped by a pedophile, do you deserve to be heard?
Does the world care about trauma survivors? Or, do they just want you to shut up and go away?

Please pass this onto everyone that you think it will help. Also, everyone that you believe needs
to know what surviving trauma is really like.
