Getting good at apologies
This showed up today at the blog for one of my big-time favorite apps, Unstuck: In the best of times, it’s hard to admit you’re wrong. There’s nothing like digging into a piece of humble pie to remind you that — even if you’re a hot-shot, a genuine smarty-pants, or the nicest of nice guys — you stil...

Re: Feel like my 'gut' is broken after rape
Okay. So, an idea I would put out as a starting place per some of this, something I think might help and you can do with therapy or not, is to first just sit down, for a good while, and see if you can't start writing down an idea, or list, of what you really want right now. Not in the far future, bu...

Re: Feel like my 'gut' is broken after rape
Sorry for more with the questions! Per your last paragraph, do you feel like you can or cannot yet emotionally separate "a partner," and "an abusive partner?" In other words, while you likely can do that logically, do you feel like your feelings grok that a partner does not = abu...

Re: Posting a new topic in abuse and assault?
No worries: everything is new on this system, so we're likely all going to feel a bit confused and disoriented for a little while.

Re: Feel like my 'gut' is broken after rape
Thanks for filling me in so candidly. Can I ask if you feel like you have given yourself time to simply feel disinterested in sexual relationships with others without trying to "force" feelings of interest, and with acknowledgements to yourself that it is absolutely okay -- rather than una...

Two truths and a lie
Just a little icebreaker for those in the newbie group (and anyone else)! Here's how this works: think of two facts (truths) about yourself, and one lie (something that isn't true about you or your life). Post them both here. When you reply, take a guess about which of the previous posters things we...

I am so sorry you experienced that, AvocadoLime. I am very glad, though, you felt able to bring this here. Can you fill me in on what you have, so far, done for yourself for your healing since this relationship? That way I can have a better idea of what to suggest, and also not suggest things you ha...

...and what do you think could help you to change that habit? Pretty much every single day we get users in our direct services worrying about pregnancy who are not using condoms - some using other methods, some using none.
