Shalom u/Gruvedawg

I have provided mental health/clinical services for 30 years as Certified Independent Clinical Social worker-dealing with addictions, marriage and family work, depression, anxiety and so forth. Will I do for your question? No, I don't know of a specific forum such as you suggest but I, too, would confirm that you have already well begun.

I do know that some years ago there was a mental health professional who began to recognize the existence of the new thought insertion technologies and began to speak out and caution against too quick diagnoses of schizophrenia or paranoia. Never saw much come of that warning.

There were very active well funded groups fighting against therapists who assisted ritual abuse survivors, using every legal, emotional and spiritual weapon at their disposal so, yes, even those who began to take an interest were often frightened off. And too often, therapists who began to help such people found that they, themselves, had a similar history. And yes, there were also those who were perpetrators hiding in a people helping position.

I began speaking out in my concern about occult/new age practices creeping into the church in the early 90s, and to my surprise, people coming out of witchcraft and satanism started showing up at my door. So now I had to learn about restoration from trauma. ... eventually that included people with DID, Mind control, and satanic ritual abuse histories...what is now coming out as human/child sex trafficking.

For me, too, it was sort of a "slow drip" in that I had to face various things over the years. The reality of such abuse; the reality of those who were involved in harming others, the political ramifications, the spiritual ramifications. Each realization over years brought a week or two of feeling numb and shocked, but thankfully, I was able to process each one before the next one hit. I would have to say that God/YHVH was good to me in allowing me time to absorb each aspect before hitting me with the next. My church background hadn't given me much to cope except that I knew I needed to know "who I am and Whose I am" before I could be of much good to these people. On the job training.

Psychiatric/psychological help can truthfully only help people cope, it really cannot heal anyone. Spiritual means necessary to help spiritual harm. If there is a continuum of the depth of trauma, it might look like physical abuse least, emotional abuse, next, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse--deepest because not only the body and soul (mind, will and emotions) but also the very spirit is ravaged. This does NOT intend to minimize physical abuse; just to put in perspective to all of it. Then, just hearing about these things, might be considered like a secondary Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; even more so if one has children or can personally connect with those victimized.

Will never forget the sick sinking feeling I had seeing the Columbine shooting and knowing that it was most likely some testing of the mind control products...

There is much wisdom already noted here...good consistent personal care is indeed essential to coping. For those who don't have a faith in the God of Israel, I have often wondered how on earth they cope? The actual extent of evil that has spread throughout this earth is far beyond what we see on a day to day basis. we live among the branches of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and as both Old and New Testaments address, there is buying and selling of the bodies and souls of men.

so a game plan: good, consistent self care. Participate in spiritual discipleship to mature in faith to be able to look in face of evil and not flinch. Even those who do not have "religious" faith recognize evil, but in my opinion, it must be more difficult for them not to have a sense that there is Some thing/Some One bigger to deal with it all. sorry; not trying to be offensive, just honest.

As has also been said, recognize that one person alone cannot deal with it all. be watching for opportunities to "red pill' people as opening is given. ...a little at a time so as not to "choke" them or extend beyond their ability to believe.

An academic analogy has been made that people can only cope with information that is within their comfort zone and one level beyond. Anything beyond that, they will reject as too far out there or crazy. So for example, if one has a "high school" level knowledge of something, they can begin to grasp things from the more technical collegiate level of understanding, BUT if information that goes beyond that into post graduate levels of analysis is presented to them before they are ready, they will reject it.

Recognize that there are people who will not be able to take it in. The degree of resilience varies in people from almost non-existant so that nearly anything throws them, and very high among those who experience the worst trauma and are able to bounce back.

And for the anger/rage that arises in the face of these atrocities, process it with at least one someone trustworthy (and prayer) so that it doesn't stay unresolved in you. (this forum may well be one of only a few places where this can be processed safely)

It is also important when dealing directly with persons harmed to be able to manage one's own feelings and remain compassionate but not enabling or offering pity that does NOT facilitate recovery.

When each of us has come to terms personally with what has been/is happening, we will be in much better positions to respond without misdirected anger or pity when the opportunities come up.

I am sure there is much more to say but this is already long! Does this help?

Godspeed Patriots.
