I received an email with this discussion topic: Good morning, Jodie – I thought of a topic for discussion: the process of deciding to break ties with family of origin. When I was in that process I wished there were resources to help me - resources that weren’t just full of anger and contempt. So, I’d like to share my journey a bit to try to help others who might be considering staying or going in terms of connections toparents, siblings, etc.
We discuss this and more.
If you have a topic idea, please email me at [email protected].

Triggers are very personal; different things trigger different people. Sensory memory can be extremely powerful and not feel logical. We are triggered through sight, sound, taste, touch and smell.
In incest is often a parent or grandparent that was the abuser.Often someone who resembles the abuser or who has similartraits or objects (i.e. clothing, hair color, distinctive walk) can be very triggering.
So, what happens when you resemble the abuser? You trigger yourself. We discuss what this looks and feels like in the life of a incest survivor.

We finish our conversation and it was good.
** Is it demons or symptoms of PTSD
** Our mental abilities start to wane when we keep on with blocked memories.
** When we fail, put more good in … the only thing that changes us is self-forgiveness and love.

The panel discusses the impact of incest. Each of these panelist lived in a home of abuse where the father was the hunter. We discuss:1) Why don't we seek justice for these crimes? Is our justice seeker broken?2) What would justice look like?3) What about our anger? Does our fear silence our anger?Our guest panelist wrote me and asked to participate. She said, "It's a shared type of understanding that I've rarely had in life." That is precisely why we are here.
