TRAUMA
This site aims to expose the way the mental health system
fails and re-traumatises adult survivors of severe childhood trauma and
abuse.
The sad fact is that the current mental health system
fails and re-traumtises many victims of severe childhood trauma and
abuse. Rather than being helped many are ignored and their lives are
blighted by contact with mental health services.
Problems exist such as
Putting male convicted sex offenders in the same ward and
sometimes the next bed as female victims of sexual violence.
Wards being smeared with excrement (hardly a place for
battered wives etc to regain a sense of self worth or human decency)
Frequent mis-diagnosis due to very poor training on abuse
issues
Because of such poor training “professionals” assume some
survivors are beyond help and are incurable.
The system then witholds any
appropriate pyschotherapy and effectively gives up on such patients.
This Website is dedicated to exposing the way the mental health service has let down victims of severe trauma and abuse and gives a space for people to share their experiences. Obviously if people would prefer to remain anonymous thats fine - and as many people as want to contribute are welcome. I don't want anyone to feel excluded - emotional abuse counts as well as physical abuse and everyone is welcome!...
All people need to do if they want to share their story is e-mail me at traumablogger@hotmail.com
