By section, do you mean on this site? No not really. But if you want serious answers to a serious question we can do that.
Right everybody....?!

And you can always keep it anonymous if you don't want people to know who you are. All of us, even though we know each other very well, have aspects of our personality and history that we don't know about each other.

I also use Reddit if you REALLY want to be anonymous. These two are pretty popular and in line with child abuse questions. You can specify if you want advise or just want to rant or whatever:

I, personally, try to help solve current problems and try to help put past trauma into perspective. Whatever happened, happened. It can't be changed; so reliving it is, IMO, counter productive.

It's good to be a "surviving" but far better to be "thriving" and that requires putting your focus and attention to TODAY.

Please, we can NOT choose! If it depended on our will, I don't think any of us would choose to relive / have flashbacks..

Statements like these are not helpful at all, can be triggering and harmful to people who battle trauma.

Please, we are already traumatized and retraumatized by people minimazing, denying, or simly choosing to cover up the abuse that had been done to us.

Statements like these are a huge burden on people fighting trauma.

I'm at a very low point myself, and am not trying to pick a fight, but please, GIVE US A BREAK, if you can't help.

Thank you. Shalom xx

I am a member of several facebook groups that deal with that kind of experiences. You can looked them up in a search. Either child abuse experiences, or toxic families, narcissistic abuse and like.

Hope you will find the right help x You may like to put Trigger Warning at the beginning of your post either here or elsewhere, and than mention what kind of triggering info your post may contains, before writing your story.

I have been here at help.com for many years. Attempting to help people make it through TODAY is not meant to minimize or deny or ignore that bad things happen. But as someone upstream said, we all have our own "style" of help, none (?) of us are professionals, and we're all volunteering our time & efforts.

I have been on the "wrong end" of a great amount of abuse in my life, and have found what works for me, and try to pass that on. If you don't find my advice helpful, just wait a while; someone else will come along with a whole different outlook that may be a better solution for you.
