Why I’m thankful for Social Networking

Reposted from my other blog, because it applies to the readers here just as much! As we in the US get ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, many of us like to blog about the things we are thankful for. Each year, as I dwell on that thought...

Pardon the Interruption

Little Over a Year

Yes, it’s been a little over a year since I announced the launch of the Survivors Network site. Like most years of my life, this year didn’t exactly go as planned either, and changes in my job caused me to spend less time there, and less time...

Comment on Support Groups by ComicBookGuy

The issue with the London-based ad hoc group for male survivors is that at least one of the co-founders now has a job at a survivors' charity so just by design, group activities for that person have moved under the official umbrella. This charity...

Troubleshooting Life

A couple of weeks ago I found myself sitting up late one night watching Good Will Hunting, and thinking about abuse survivors. If you’re not familiar with the movie, Matt Damon’s character is a survivor of abuse in a foster home who just happens...

A Survivor, and What Else?

I found myself identifying quite a bit with a recent post by Faith Allen, Risk of Identifying Too Strongly with Being a Child Abuse Survivor. Not necessarily because I have a fear any longer of leaving the online survivor community, I’ve always...

Google+ Community

The Art of Listening

This past week, I was off doing some training. Most of the time, when I go to do training onsite, I’m the only one traveling, and I spend much of my free time on my own. There’s something to be said for that, after spending all day in front...
