      <image:title>Blog - Why Talking Is Not Always Enough to Release Trauma by Mark Stubbles</image:title>
      <image:caption>I suffered from serious dissociation to the point of blackouts, and a constant feeling that the world was out to get me. Traditional approaches weren't touching the damage I was carrying. It was only when I began studying hypnosis and inner child work that I began to get better.  This personal transformation is what motivates me today, helping others move from a state of survival is what I find rewarding and meaningful.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Me? Traumatized? By Marsha Jacobson</image:title>
      <image:caption>In her recent memoire “The Wrong Calamity” Marsha Jacobson recounts a life of trauma and grief set in motion by childhood abuse. Her story moves through the trauma she suffered in childhood and adulthood to hope and a rebirth of sorts when she takes back control of her life and devotes herself to her writing. Marsha’s book portrays a poignant picture of both trauma and recovery that survivors, the public, and professionals alike will benefit from reading.</image:caption>

He has diagnosed me with agoraphobia and social phobia, among other things, and then every time I see him, he asks if I have been going out with my friends, or if I have any new romantic interests. No, of course I haven't, that kind of thing makes me feel horrible. Why would you even ask?!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I think I have, and will always have, 'prey' written fairly clearly on my chest when it comes to predators. Certainly, my attempts at romantic relationships in life, none of which was initiated by me and each of which started out of a sense of duty and politeness to someone who approached me, have been with predators. I refuse to do that again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Out of the Storm</image:title>
      <image:caption>This web site is dedicated to Dr. Judith Herman who was the first professional to propose the diagnosis of Complex PTSD in the 1990’s. It was not until 30 years later and a great deal of persistence that it was finally made official by the World Health Organization in its International Classification of Diseases Revision 11. Thank you Dr. Herman. As survivors we are extremely grateful for your quiet tenacity in bringing awareness, legitimacy and credibility to our suffering.</image:caption>
