I am beauty and you are flawed

Resisting oppression is an important part of recovery. Below is a poem I wrote to help people who have been sexually terrorised reclaim self understanding and acceptance and give back moral responsibility to the perpetrator. I reccommend abuse survivors who blame themselves in some way to try reading the poem out loud on a regular basis (with a strong intention). Nothing works for everyone but a number of people have fed-back that they have found it very helpful. I also reccomend sharing this film about the Great Escape Bedpush 2008.

Talking With Voices

By Dirk Corstens, Rufus May and Eleanor Longden

Summary
People who hear distressing voices can be entangled in repressing dialogues with their voices that limit their lives. Talking to the voices as outlined in this article is a technique that enhances a more fruitfull relationship between the voices and the voice hearer. This work is inspired by Voice Dialogue, a method developed by Hal and Sidra Stone. This methodical framework will be explained briefly. The technique and attitude necessary for speaking with the voices will be put forward. Indications and contraindications will be mentioned. Four examples clarify the potentials of this approach.
