Holly's blog entries on ptsd and other stuff

I've been putting off posting a few days while mulling some things over. In hunting around for other blogs about ptsd I found Holly's Fight for Justice and Holly's Fight to Stop the Violence. Both have tons of great entries. She has a clear and concise description of what ptsd is and her own experiences of it. There is a excerpt and another link to a site about emotional rape, which puts a label on the last and worst trauma that fuels my ptsd. An entry on trusting memories of sexual abuse is affirming and reassuring to those like me who tend to minimize it and not believe our own memories. She has given me a lot of food for thought and some fuel for future posts, I hope. You Go, Holly!!

    Hi Traumarama,
    Glad you found Holly's Fight for Justice, and Holly's Fight to Stop Violence. I am a survivor of rape, approximately 14 years ago. I do know one thing, if you choice to survive you will. Everything I have learned about sexual assault, ptsd, have been useful to my healing and journey in life.
    We all have experiences that will help us overcome the obstacles, and surviving the pain! If you can survive the pain, trust your instincts, being honest to yourself. It is the start of the healing. Be proud you have started this new blog, I will add you to my site. All the best in the new journey of learning. Sincerely Holly Desimone
    Thank you for the lessons I will learn from your journey also! Keep in touch!

    What a great site. PTSD can be caused by so many different things. I have had it for a long time and because of an incident 2 years ago, mine has gotten worse.

    But it is a journey!
