SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - TIME FOR A CHANGE!

Not reporting an assault…not telling anyone.

Hiding the details of abusive relationships…

Smiling through pain…

Pretending awful parents are loving and kind…

Why do we do this?

Anyone who has ever been through it and survived can tell you the answer:

We try to make intolerable situations, where we feel no power, tolerable, by making up excuses for those who have harmed us or by taking the blame ourselves…

How did we learn to 'cover up' for others in this way?

Usually by being told that whatever went wrong was our fault, by understanding that no one would believe us, and that we would be punished for speaking up!

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

WE CAN NOT EVOLVE AS HUMANS IF WE KEEP IGNORING AND ATTACKING THE VICTIMS AND HIDING FROM THE TRUTH!

TOGETHER WE ALL NEED TO TAKE STEPS TO CHANGE THIS TRULY DIRE BEHAVIOR!
