Quote From: alycam26This kind of thing has been going on in secrecy for centuries: The leading edge research shows how these acts of shame have been passed down generation by generation, along with many other shame-based child-rearing techniques.
The only way to rid our socieites of this is to expose it all. I applaud the television shows for continuing to do so, even though it can get tiring for some. We are all different and each of us are willing to hear about these stories and related them to ourselves at different times, so the struggle is still new to many. And, still being hard fought by many others.
This is not an easy thing to overcome within one's self. The damaging change that is done by primary caregivers shameful acts take a great deal of committment to the healing process - and, that's what it is, A PROCESS and it requires a breath-by-breath, moment-by-moment, day-by-day consciousness.
Give people the space and support to the process, let go of your judgements of them not working hard or fast enough. With your support they will come to a place of healing to create better lives for themselves and the next generation.
Yes, it is key in getting this information out there. Using the media is one of the most powerful ways it can be done. I commend Dr. Phis and his show for getting this information out there. I think it will cause others who watch the show, to investigate further into what all of this is about. Well at least those who can open their minds enough to hear the truths of the people who speak about their own experiences in a cult situation. Cults csn be multi generation, they can be people just dabbling in evil or even total strangers who happened upon your children and their families. Presenting someone other that who they are. That's just a few ways......there are loads more.
If we don't, as a world of people, stand together on this issue, it will continue to be as prevalent as it is now.
Maybe we could even do our own section for survivors of cult abuse so that people can see for themselves how serious this problem is in our world....maybe even as close as your own neighborhool and schools.
Love and light and a deep compassion on this topic for many years now...
I would appreciate any feedback or ideas on this topic that is such a serious situation in our world todsy..
Sharon - Dr. Phil fan..I respect him and his wife so very much. They could be the open book of informationan knowledge about cults and cult abuse...that has been around for many centuries and even longer.
