Support groups This just made a lot of sense to me. I'm out here pretty open so this is what we are using now to help protect our private number without getting a second line too! protect your private number with a Brring number with out the expense of a second phone line! You can now find thousands of support groups on the web. I have had my own for years and I can't express enough how important they can be as you traverse this bumpy path. There is much to learn as you share with others. Fitting for me to be accessed from here at the Talk Zone live are just a few. The first sight I ever belonged to and also the first multiple I ever talked to on the web in 1998. She has been my inspiration from that day forward through it all. I present to you my MVP

Musician Michael Skinner has crafted his solo album "Train of Tears" the hard way. As a former member of a number of successful rock bands, including American Train which toured England in the late 70's, the drummer/guitarist saw his whole world change several years ago with the onset of a psychiatric diagnosis of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and depression, but with persistence, patience, and hard work he has returned to his musical endeavors. Take time to learn Michael's story please listen to these three segments great for you men to find someone who knows Advocacy
Advocate- To speak in favor of; recommend
1. A person who argues for a cause; supporter or defender
2. A person who pleads in another's behalf; intercessor.
Advocacy- Active support, as of a cause, idea, or policy.
Musician/Advocate- Why?
Through my music, lyrics, songs, and performances, I feel blessed to be able to try to convey the thoughts, ideas, and feelings of not only myself, but of the countless hundreds I have met in my lifetime. These wonderful and unique individuals have suffered abuses that defy description. Their strength and perseverance help guide me.
Equally important are the many great organizations dedicated to advocating for those who have felt the sting of discrimination and stigma pertaining to mental illness/health and the sheer horror and impact felt by those who have endured childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. You will find some of these great groups listed in the resources section below and on the links page.
I am forever honored to have worked with and met so many of you. God has indeed blessed all of you. " IN GOD'S NAME"
WHY?- Michael Skinner
Why am I speaking today at a conference addressing the concerns of the Catholic Church hierarchy and their complicity in the sexual abuse of children and adolescents? My own experience and the nightmare I endured of having suffered through many years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of my parents and their perverted friends gives me the right to speak here. For it goes back to the question of WHY, and how could so many members of society ignore and allow the torture I lived through to continue. read more of Michael's reason why at link below and click advacacy Here's the link [cdbaby] for "Waitin' For a Train" - the new album release that folks can purchase with a credit card. My 2 other albums, Train ofTears and Pirates are both available on I-tunes and dozens more for down loads. AND some great news, I too just registered here in the state of NH, the non-profit I have started - "The Surviving Spirit" - to utilize the creativearts [in all it's forms] to create awareness and healing around trauma, abuse, and mental health concerns. I plan to have a physical location that will sell the creative endeavors of survivors of the above mentioned topics...more to follow!!!  itunes site  cd baby site  cd baby site  cd baby site
a fascinating, one-of- a-kind documentary. Searching for Angela Shelton leaves us not in despair, but in awe of the resilience and strength of women who have had the cards stacked against them

Author of The Courage to Heal
Your Strength to Heal: Surviving Trauma and Abuse Kim Kubal's work is based on nineteen years of healing from sexual, physical, emotional, spiritual and ritual abuse to become an empowered, intergrated individual and activist.
My goal for this website is to give ritual abuse survivors hope, inspiration and courage to walk “the many dark nights of the soul” on their journey towards healing and wholeness. It is also to provide informative articles and links which will lessen the feelings of isolation as one heals from ritual abuse.
I trust that caregivers to ritual abuse survivors will get a sense of knowing they are not alone in giving support and encouragement to survivors.
Finally, I hope that the healing community will gain a better understanding and knowledge of working with ritual abuse survivors who are courageous people who have been horrifically assaulted physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychically. Still they heal, and in so doing, the healing community can be a witness to this miracle if they choose to be.
It is new and growing. It's the perfect example of interaction with others. My hopes is that it will find the success in spreading the word to others. I chose this one because it has places for littles to go and be just that. Littles. So if you want to let your littles grow send them off this wonderful play ground after your adults drop their work off here. Those who know me well understand I rarely relate to littles, but there are a couple here who have found a way to help me understand their special language. I do love though watching these talented conveyors of knowledge shine with each other. Stay safe all of you.
