Hi, Guys.

I am realizing in a HUGE way I have a voice. You know how kids will just scream to be screaming. They are exercising their ability to scream but they are hearing themselves in a big way.

NOT only was I silenced during the trauma of the csa but my family especially my dad had a huge influence and how I saw myself and heard myself.

My dad would never listen to me. I felt silenced by him. I was told my dad had given my perp control.

I realize this now and heard it for the first time in my own mind a couple of weeks since it happened nearly 40 years ago.

I have my voice now. OMG this is so awesome but WEIRD.

I`m so glad you have found your voice DJ. At the same time I`m wondering if I`m not minimizing my own. S

Congrats Dj!

And you'll be amazed, surprised, and maybe even shocked by what you can say with your voice. I've been a little vocal myself lately at work. And its starting to pay off.

YAY DJ!

Here is a link to a site where I first saw the concept of "voice" discussed. Its a site about a film produced about abuse, produced by a survivor, and aired on PBS.
