No Failures, Only Lessons: A Reflection on Growth

  • Abandonment and Me

    You Are Part of This Too, Mom

    14 November 2024 /

    The child doesn’t know it, since you can’t miss what you’re not familiar with, but the child is actually experiencing abandonment by the mom. When you say ‘that wouldn’t have washed,’ what you’re really saying is your mother had no way of hearing your root feelings. We don’t tend to think of that as wounding, but it is a deeper wound than anything else.

    Sibling Sexual Abuse: Breaking the Silence

    7 November 2024 /

    Over the past two weeks, I attended two conferences focused on child sexual abuse (CSA) and harmful sexual behaviour (HSB): Reshaping the Conversation with the National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse in Brisbane, and the Kids First Australia National CSA and HSB Conference in Melbourne. Across both events, which featured a wide range of expert speakers, practitioners, and advocates, one thing stood out to me—they don’t say sibling sexual abuse (SSA) much, do they? It felt so at odds with the international peer support groups and advocacy organisations I contribute to. One specifically for SSA survivor peer support created by EmpowerSurvivors has around 1000 members, and we know…

  • Understanding cPTSD: A Survivors Journey

    Understanding cPTSD: A Survivor’s Journey

    28 October 2024 /

    What is cPTSD? Complex PTSD (cPTSD) arises from prolonged or repeated exposure to trauma, particularly in childhood. Unlike typical PTSD, which is often linked to a single event, cPTSD is a response to ongoing trauma, such as childhood sexual abuse (CSA) or, in my case, sibling sexual abuse (SSA). I’ll refer to CSA and SSA throughout rather than focusing solely on SSA. I am also conscious of feedback from readers of Resolve that anyone who experienced childhood trauma, whether sexual or not, could benefit from what is shared there. Discussing cPTSD offers a universally helpful message, and I hope what I share here today will resonate with you or help you take your…
