Secrecy and shame

​Secrecy and shame is a toxic mix. As Ronald Summit pointed out in his book ‘The Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome’: "Initiation, intimidation, stigmatization, isolation, helplessness and self-blame depend on a terrifying reality of child sexual abuse. Any attempts by the child to divulge the secret will be countered by an adult conspiracy of silence and disbelief. ‘Don’t worry about things like that; that could never happen in our family.’ ‘How could you ever think of such a terrible thing?’ ‘Don’t let me ever hear you say anything like that again!’ The average child never asks and never tells.”

If you are an adult survivor of abuse, it is time to break the silence and regain control of your life. You are not to blame, the responsibility was on the perpetrator. You also have nothing to fear. And, with the right help, you can regain control of your life
