After 20+ years in therapy I only discovered IFS this year. In a small pilot study, 16 weekly sessions left 92% of participants no longer meeting PTSD criteria. Not a cure-all, but the results are hopeful. Healing is possible. 💭

If you experience abuse in any form, plan your exit now. It only escalates 💙

Barry Goldstein on harmful outcome cases. These are extreme decisions where the alleged abuser is given custody and a safe, protective mother who is the primary attachment figure is limited to supervised or no visitation. Saunders says these decisions are ALWAYS wrong and based on flawed practices.

Did you just refer to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal as a consensual relationship between adults? I'm not taking away from the differences between Trump and SA of minors, but adults or not there was a power imbalance and it was harassment and coercion at best. Just sayin.

Before Obamacare, being a woman was a pre-existing condition, including coverage denial for domestic violence, contraception, pregnancy, and certain cancers. You could be charged more for insurance premiums just for being female. It was called a 'gender rating'.

Johnson doesn't think domestic violence is serious.

This is Jesse Mack Butler from Oklahoma. Butler r*ped two teen girls over a period of 9 months, nearly killed them by strangulation, which was recorded on video. Butler was convicted of 11 counts of r*pe and sexual assault and was sentenced to 78 years in prison.

But he will serve 0 jail time

Remember what depreciation is as Epstein associates use it to describe a young girl: the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life, accounting for its gradual loss of value due to wear and tear, age, or obsolescence.

Making Domestic violence great again? Ugh

This! Always trying to drown out the truth. With literal noise.

If you're stuck in isolation with someone abusive, message me about my make up, if I still sell it? I'll know to keep checking in. Ask specifically about my eyeliner and I will ask what your address is, so I can send you a free sample, so I can contact authorities for you. 💖 Stay safe!

I'm so sorry if I've added you more than once in the last few days! I ran into issues following people from starter packs and just had to reset everything. So I'm carefully reviewing and adding each back one at a time to make sure it’s done properly to avoid the spam/bots. Thanks for your patience!

Right?! And wow yea I feel like Lundy should be a household name. He is around here, but his work is SO impactful 💙

I just created this bluesky 2 days ago. But if you/she are on meta, facebook.com/LiHFP is the page that I've worked on for years with similar resources. I hope to be able to build something similar and as helpful as OMB now. Thankfully there is a growing community of survivors and advocates. 💙

That is the truth! I have less than a month now until my youngest turns 18... which I know is the exact reason the situation has started escalating for us personally again. But also how I am finally able to start talking about it all openly.

If she hasn't already come across this page, it has a ton of resources. I have no affiliation with it, she was just one of the very first to start speaking out as I was going through my own family court hell. I have a lot of other good info on my Facebook as well.💙

I'm so sorry. My children are essentially grown, and yes sadly no matter how much you try to keep the peace in those situations, the abuse never ends. 💔

From my understanding she was a victim of abuse and it was her effort to protect him from the father and stepmother... which is sadly all too common 💔

SO true! His abusive behavior and tactics (particularly the DARVO and gaslighting) are SO predictable. I know it's a big reason he and MAGA are so triggering for so many of us 💔

We personally survived coercive control and violence, and now have to experience it all again with the whole world. 💔

That's the plan! I started on Facebook in 2018. Despite protecting my anonymity there, it got into the wrong hands and is no longer private.

So I openly published an article for the first time on 4/16 and created this shortly after. I'm building again now from the ground up, so stay tuned 💙
