Survivorship’s reply to The Satanic Temple’s Grey Faction regarding “Survivorship’s 2020 conference can no longer provide continuing education credit.”
Recently, a complaint was filed with the APA about our conference
CEUs. Survivorship was notified there was a complaint, but was not
notified of either the content of the complaint or the complainant.
Survivorship notified the CEU sponsoring company there was a complaint.
Primarily due to the fact a complaint was filed, the company sponsoring CEUs for the Survivorship conference withdrew their sponsorship. This is without the company or Survivorship ever seeing the complaint or specifically knowing the content of the complaint or the name of the complainant. Survivorship had no choice but to withdraw the conference CEUs. Due to the fact that there were less than two weeks before the conference, Survivorship was unable to find another CEU provider. The APA complaint was closed the next day. The complaint was not seen by Survivorship until it was published by the Grey Faction several days later.
There are several misstatements in the Grey Faction's press release and complaint. The release states: "Survivorship courses and presentations heavily focus on Satanic cults, mind control and related unproven conspiracy theories."

Survivorship presentations and webpages cover a wide variety of
topics in the field of ritual abuse, dissociation and trauma education.
Our research is supported by a variety of peer reviewed studies and
experts in the field of trauma and dissociative disorders. https://survivorship.org/ritual-abuse-evidence/
The Grey Faction press release and complaint comments on several researchers in the field including:
Alison Miller https://ritualabuse.us/smart/alison-miller/
Neil Brick https://ritualabuse.us/smart/neil-brick/
Wendy Hoffman https://ritualabuse.us/smart/wendy-hoffman/
Randy Noblitt https://ritualabuse.us/smart/randy-noblitt/
The above links present the research and citations of persons discussed by the Grey Faction.
It is unknown if any of the Grey Faction researchers or members have any credentials or experience in the field of trauma and dissociation. Yet, they claim to be able to discern whether Survivorship's research is "informed by the latest scientific developments in the field of psychology."
The Grey Faction repeatedly describes ideological opponents in the trauma field as "conspiracy theorists" promoting "pseudoscience" yet they are unable to disprove any of their research or accounts of traumatic events.
The Grey Faction promotes several pseudoscientific theories: https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/articles/misinformation-campaigns-against-survivors-neil-brick/
Pseudoscience: Denial that memories can be repressed.
Actual science and research: http://childabusewiki.org/index.php?title=Recovered_Memories
Pseudoscience: Denial that DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is caused by trauma.
Actual science and research: http://childabusewiki.org/index.php?title=Dissociative_Identity_Disorder
Articles verifying Survivorship's research:
Child Abuse Wiki - Ritual Abuse http://childabusewiki.org/index.php?title=Ritual_Abuse
Ritual abuse exists all over the world. There have been reports, journal articles, web pages and criminal convictions of crimes against children and adults.

Grey Faction, Satanic Temple and Lucien Greaves Fact Sheet: For almost a decade using several aliases (including Douglas Mesner and Lucien Greaves) he has harassed groups helping child abuse, rape and trauma survivors. He has also harassed groups providing research in support of child abuse, rape and trauma survivors. In 2013, he and others created a group called the Satanic Temple. One part of this group is called the Grey Faction. The Grey Faction states they “invade” conferences. These conferences are provided to help and educate child abuse, rape and trauma survivors and their helpers. https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/grey-faction-satanic-temple-and-lucien-greaves-fact-sheet/
Rebuttal to an attack from the Grey Faction:
Alison Miller’s reply to Evan Anderson, Grey Faction Director of The Satanic Temple (TST)’s Grey Faction “The reason I discontinued my membership in the College of Psychologists has nothing to do with the Grey Faction’s harassing complaint about my writings and online videos. I left the College because I am 78 years old. I retired two years ago.” – Alison Miller
“That is why I resigned, not because I was about to be found guilty of promoting unscientific conspiracy theories. Anderson has posted his complaint and the College’s response, distorting the story by omitting the College’s letter to me and my response to it. As for not being allowed to call myself a “psychologist,” that is the situation for every retired psychologist. It is similar for other health professions, and it does not indicate that the work I did was inferior or that I was found guilty of unethical behavior.” – Alison Miller https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/alison-millers-reply-to-evan-anderson-grey-faction-director-of-the-satanic-temple-tsts-grey-faction/

Alleged anti-Semitism connected to Doug Mesner (Lucien Greaves - Satanic Temple co-founder) both aliases:
“Like, I think it’s okay to hate Jews if you hate them because they’re Jewish and they wear a stupid fuckin’ frisbie on their head [correct term: yarmulke or kippah] and walk around [and] think their God’s chosen people, but it’s not okay to hate somebody [‘born of Jewish blood’] just because their parents were stupid fuckin’ Jews and wore stupid frisbies on their head and thought the Jews were God’s chosen people […] Not everybody of Jewish blood is okay with me, it depends on if they follow the Jewish, uh… […] Satanic Jews are fine,” (Adam, “Doug Mesner [Lucien Greaves/Douglas Misicko] Satanic Temple Anti-Semitic Rant” (transcribed).”

In another article at vice.com (also covered in other Internet articles) about Satanists turning the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church’s deceased mother “gay,” the article describes “Lucien Greaves” performing a “Pink Mass” over the grave of the Westboro Baptist Church founder’s mother. The article states that the Pink Mass is a Satanic ritual performed after death that will turn a deceased person’s straight spirit into a homosexual one. This event was covered on many other news pages also. The Satanic Temple states it eschews supernaturalism, yet performs rituals over a dead person’s grave. There were also pictures of Lucien Greaves on the Internet of him pulling his penis while rubbing his scrotum on the gravestone. In the state of Mississippi, where this ritual occurred, “Lucien Greaves” was charged by the police with desecration of a grave according to a vice.com article and other articles on the Internet.
