Introduction

[clergywoman]

Hi, everyone. I stumbled upon this sight when I couldn't sleep the other night and wondered if there was a group online for survivors, and I found you guys! I've been having some trouble lately dealing with issues from what happened to me, and I'm glad I've found a space to converse with other people who've been through similar things. I've also recently decided to seek professional counseling for the first time.

As for who I am, I'm a young woman entering ministry in the PC(USA), but I was a Linguist and ESL teacher before I went to seminary.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Hi clergywoman,

So sorry that you need to be here! Very glad you found this community as it is filled with caring, supportive survivors who are here to help each other on the healing journey. I think it is awesome you are pursuing your path as you described it............I wish for you all the support you deserve and need. I joined in Jan. after not dealing with CSA for many years and have found that therapy and this community are a real solid path toward healing. Welcome!
