I just joined a Therapy group for Survivors of Sexual abuse. I am nervous about it as I do not know what to expect. Is anyone part of a therapy group or support group?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Some thoughts.......impressions left with me from visiting a group for the first time ever.....I went for the first time to a group for people who have suffered abuse but went for and with a friend. I'd like to go back but I can't at least not to this one because of my friend. I don't want what happened to me to hurt her. She is in a very delicate emotional state and would be overwhelmed. But, here is what impressed me and what I will continue to pray about and to look for. I liked the way this group got down to the nitty gritty so to speak, not so much in the story but the focus on how the issue is dealt with. It was raw , honest , and straight to the point. The way the ladies worked toghether was not focusing in what happened as much as how they deal with triggers, issues. Putting God first of course. The story is important yes.... but seeing how God helped others, learning about what helped and what did not. Another thing I'd look for is healthy boundries within the group as well as for people who honestly want to do the work alongside our Savior to get better. If it becomes a pity party I'd find another place. Ask God to reveal to you what He wants you to glean from this exp and to lead you to the right place, ask Him to bless your effort and hold on tight. You know its a bumpy ride! You don't want to get too emeshed in other peoples stuff and be destracted from you own healing. This is not selfish. I feel as though I'm being led to somewhow minster to this but it is so puzzeling because I'm not equiped, don't know what to do or how, don't have a voice , I mean words...I'm walking with Him and waiting to see where , how, and the means....Anyway I'm rambleing. Hugs, and cudos for you in your bravery. It will be well with you.
