Saprea is a nonprofit that’s leading the charge against child sexual abuse, shedding light on the issue, and supporting communities around the world in healing and prevention.
Backed by a team of clinical experts and a community of survivors and defenders, we are liberating individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts.
With clinically proven tools and resources, we empower survivors, parents, and community members with the knowledge needed to protect, heal, and overcome.
A good book on this topic if you are someone who deals with this pain and doesn’t understand why is “Why do I hurt?: workbook” by Adrian Louw and really explains why the body does what it does and gives examples of how to gain control over your pain
The well meaning but unschooled/inexperienced commenter conflates "emotional numbness" with "dissociation", both of which are symptoms of CPTSD from CSA. It's the terrifying near death reliving dreams that are the killers. Pete Walker's book, "CPTSD" is the best guide I know, and I'm a retired psychiatrist and CSA survivor. God bless us one and all and shame on our parents for not giving us the protection and care we deserved.
And then y'all wondered why I had all of my stints in and out of therapy....but once again...not believed and told faking it when even the dumbest idiot would look at what I have been thru in life and be able to come to the conclusion that at a minimum...she would have issuea with depression. But once again when pure evil is in control...what has been done is what is to be expected.
I'm lost. I finally told my parents about my cuz molesting me starting at 3yrs till I was 11yrs. They still talk 2 him an think he good 2 them. My mom says I should have told then yrs ago. Not waiting so long. I became a drunk over this. 😢 I just flipped out over them always talking about him. I can't sleep. His nephew is in prison 4 doing the same 2 his kids. I'm sure Kevin did the same 2 him.

Youth fibromyalgia or AMPS (autoimmune musculoskeletal pain syndrome) can be caused by a traumatic event or constant abuse and is a very valid syndrome (that I currently suffer with) and is a mind/body condition in the nerves
“Shes only 12” Bro, i knew what sex was when i was 7 cuz my mom wanted me to know what certain things mean, she’d also just answer all my questions with the real answer, no excuses.
Where's the dad? I helped raise a little girl that wasn't "mine". I completely and fully stepped into the role. Her mom and I talked about it and agreed on it. Literally no bio dad in the picture. I didn't have kids of my own. She needed me and as it turns out I'm an awesome dad. She is my daughter as far as I'm concerned. I was more than just around; I was really there being the dad she needed in every way. Yeah, I spoiled her from time to time. What is wrong with a man stepping up when there is NO OTHER DAD! I almost asked her if I could adopt her and still might, I didn't want to put that pressure on her. Change that to an aunt and no one cares. This is just man hating.
Thank you. I am a 53 year old survivor of henious crimes during childhood. I am now just beginning to search for healing. I do not have money to pay for treatment, so I am starting to use these types of videos. You are so accurate. I wish I had run intonsomeone like you before. I am so destroyed now, mentallly, physically, socially, economically. Hellish life, making it easier for all kinds of abusers or just oportunistic people to tread on me.
Hey guys, I have a question that’s really been bugging me every time I think about my sexual abuse, or talk about it my body gets aroused I don’t understand why
As an uncle this is gross to even think about. I love to buy my nieces and nephews gifts :/ I don’t see why being generous and loving to see them happy is a problem. But I also would never keep things from their parents.
