I want to introduce you to a new weekly online newspaper about abuse. I’ve talked about it with the last two posts, but today I can offer links to sample and peruse.
When I Became Free Weekly is a newspaper written by survivors for survivors. It isn’t limited to one form of abuse or trauma, but rather covers them all. It contains stories, news articles, and help for healing from abuse.
But, it is more. When I Became Free is a movement to help survivors move past the trauma of their backgrounds. Among the future projects in the works are online workshops (including journaling!) and support groups.
Just as there are different types of abuse, so are there different methods for healing. Some may embrace their creative sides, including journaling, poetry, and art. Others may find it healing to become an advocate for others who need help.
If you are interested in abuse or trauma at all, this is the paper to subscribe to. It arrives by email every Thursday, to be read at your leisure.
The writers are survivors. They’ve been there and know what it’s like. Survivors not only understand, but they are compassionate and caring. They don’t want others to live through the things they did. Even if you aren’t a survivor of abuse, the knowledge in here may help you be instrumental in saving someone else, someone close to you.
Abuse isn’t obvious. Victims hide it well. Abusers hide it even better. Usually, by the time you know it happened, it’s already been happening long enough to do serious mental (and physical) harm to the victim.
The October 2019 issues are free without subscription. Check out the links below and decide for yourself if you want to be a part of something new. I have an article in each one. Let me know what you think.
To contact me about the paper you can email me at thewriteempath@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you. Reach out to me also if you are interested in contributing. We would love to hear from more survivors.
