Purity If you are a survivor who emerged from a strict religious sect or background, you are not alone. The conditioning around purity, virginity and innocence was intense. The message was clear, purity was everything, anything else was dirty, sinful and evil. As a survivor of abuse, please know your heart and soul was pure, has been pure and is still pure. You were innocent. The rest is just noise.

Meet Heidi Olson Forensic nurse. Business owner. Coffee lover and outdoor enthusiast. Heidi did not feel seen growing up. She was first abused at 2 years of age, and experienced several instances over the years with different abusers.

Self Esteem When you know your survivor is not feeling good through the way they are behaving or the words they are using, through not validating themselves or putting themselves down, please counteract this, as this gives them an opportunity to make the link between their behaviour and the childhood relationships they had, where they were not valued.

Meet Allen Goodall He is a Survivor, training to be a peer support worker and runs mens support groups. He experienced sexual abuse beginning at age of 3.

Connecting the Dots Making sense of behaviour we use as adults that we know doesn't serve us is hard, but there will be a connection to the past in there. We can often unknowingly replicate our childhood conditioning. The tip is look at the behaviour now that doesn't serve or work for you: Using a therapist, track it back to your childhood. I promise you there will be a connection.

Your memories emerging when your child turn the same age you were when the abuse began is much more common than you may imagine. It is also frightening.

What about me? If you are the child of a narcissistic parent, it would have been almost impossible to be given any space, comfort or protection. There was no room for you as this child.

Healthy Bonds Your survivor having healthy and transparent relationships is of course, optimum. When this is not so, you will see their behaviour change in order to be accepted. This is a form of toxic bonding: arising from the abuse, and their needs not being met as children.

Triggered by children This is very common for parents who are survivors. When our children (of the same sex as us) turn the age we were when the abuse began, the amount of triggering this results in is almost indescribable. Memories start to flood in and become overwhelming. This is vindication and validation of what you went through. Try to protect the part of you that has emerged with the recall.
