💔 Boys and men take 15-20 years on average to disclose sexual trauma.

New review found masculine norms, shame & fear of disbelief create unique barriers.

Disclosure less likely when perpetrator was someone close.

Gender-sensitive support needed.

I thought the same when there was a recent story re: trying a 14yr old as an adult. Have you met a 14yr old recently? They're trying to shift the severity.

Cerebral development continues into our 30s.

#Megynkelly has many other issues, clearly. One is #sexualtrauma. Two is #cognitivedissonance.

A Brief Technique to Reduce Flashbacks of Sexual Trauma in an Adolescent: Proof-of-Concept Case Study Using Imagery Interference Background: Trauma exposure, including sexual harm, is prevalent in adolescents. A key resulting symptom relates to re-experiencing mental images of trauma, such as intrusive memories and flashbacks. Established treatments are used to address flashback memories but are hard to access, often leave remaining symptoms, and require extensive exposure to traumatic materials. An emerging approach with adult populations suggests intrusive imagery symptoms can be precisely targeted with simple cognitive tasks. Objective: We describe a first proof-of-concept demonstration of an imagery interference technique in a 15-year-old to target residual flashback symptoms after a course of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following sexual trauma, to lay the groundwork for further evaluations. Methods: A case study (Mia) was presented drawing from routine clinical practice within the United Kingdom’s National Health Service. After 23 sessions of trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, Mia received the imagery interference technique on session 24, and a month later returned for session 25 (final). The technique involve playing Tetris within a wider protocol informed by the science of memory malleability (e.g. including brief memory recall and working memory taxation). Memory ratings (frequency, vividness, and distress) were assessed before and immediately after training on the technique, and a month later. Symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression were gathered on the first and final sessions. Views from Mia and her parents were also obtained. Results: For the specific flashback targeted by Mia, vividness reduced within the session (40% to 15%), distress reduced within the session (40% to 15%) and a month later (then to 10%), and frequency reduced a month later (once to zero a week; 100% reduction). Non-targeted flashbacks also reduced in frequency (four to once a month; 75% reduction). Mia described the memories as more “distant”. Symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety reduced overall. Conclusions: Pending further rigorous testing beyond this single case, the imagery interference approach has potential as a low-intensity and early intervention for adolescents to address intrusive imagery of trauma, such as sexual harm, and also in other clinical contexts (e.g., anxiety). Clinical Trial: N/A

Women with sexual trauma histories more likely to engage in “Duty Sex” Women with histories of sexual trauma report more frequent Duty Sex, lower sexual satisfaction, and higher sexual pain. These patterns persisted even after accounting for sexual dysfunction.

My childhood trauma has made me into a monster, and it continues to destroy for it’s selfish desires, without caring how much pain it caused, A broken mind, a selfish mind, creating more suffering for the world to go through, a deprived mind, no matter how much I try to stop such thoughts, I still get reminded, I still can’t forget, the brain never forgets, and it’s torture. And it’s no one else’s fault, except mine for consuming such as a child, and for the perverse, sick people who posted the things that ruined my childhood online, ruined my mind, my life, And it’s no one else’s fault, except mine for consuming such as a child, and for the perverse, sick people who posted the things that ruined my childhood online, ruined my mind, my life, My childhood was taken away from me, I was never able to be a normal child, I miss such innocence, this is why you mature filter your content, this is who we need to protect kids online, or else a child will end up like me.

The monster I’m becoming
