Judith Herman: “In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.” Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence – From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror

Stabilizing and Healing Techniques for Survivors – Dr. Alison Miller

https://youtu.be/pq7ly3XCsVs 

Stabilizing and Healing Techniques for Survivors Dr Alison Miller - PowerPoint

Survivors have front people and insiders, parts hidden inside, who react to things in the present as if it was the past. Front people have been trained to be in denial about the history of abuse and about the existence of other inside people. Survivors’ overreactions to things in the present come from the insiders. I shall cover a number of stabilizing and healing techniques, the most important one being “Ask inside.”

Dr. Alison Miller is a retired clinical psychologist who practised for over forty years, specializing for the last twenty five years in survivors of ritual abuse and mind control. Her newest book, Demystifying Mind Control and Ritual Abuse: A Manual for Therapists, came out July 2024. Her past books have helped many therapists and survivors. They include: Healing the Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control, Becoming Yourself: Overcoming Mind Control and Ritual Abuse, and (with Wendy Hoffman) From the Trenches: A Victim and Therapist talk about Mind Control and Ritual Abuse.

Traces of Masonic Ritual Abuse in Carl Jung’s Red Book and Black Books – Dr. Lynn Brunet

Traces of Masonic Ritual Abuse in Jung's Red Book and Black Books Dr Lynn Brunet - PowerPoint

During his mid-life period the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung (1875–1961) underwent a perplexing and terrifying ‘dark night of the soul’ lasting many years, in which he experienced a series of disturbing fantasies and dreams. Acting as his own therapist, he recorded these experiences in journals that he called the Black Books and, from there, he produced a stunning creative text which he called The Red Book. But he chose not to publish it and it was only released in 2009, with the journals following in 2020. However, while these texts have been long anticipated, they are both confoundingly difficult to understand and have become a mystery in themselves. In late 2018 My Answer to Jung: Making Sense of The Red Book was published. This study demonstrates that Jung’s fantasies are not entirely original but that their plots, characters, settings and symbolism are remarkably similar to some of the higher degree rituals of Continental Freemasonry. It argues that the fantasies appear to be memories of an excruciating series of initiatory ordeals, possibly undergone in childhood and/or youth, that suggests an abusive use of the Masonic rites. In Black Book 6 Jung presses his soul to provide a glimpse into what all of this is about. She answers with a series of questions: “Temples in deserts? Secret societies? Ceremonies? Rituals? Colorful robes? Golden images of Gods of terrible aspect?” (BB 6, p. 268). This answer, along with many other details, confirms the thesis of my previous study: that Jung’s active imaginations are entirely associated with the rituals of the secret societies. This presentation will discuss the key features of The Red Book and Black Books which demonstrate that, over a century ago, Jung was recording, in extensive detail, his own memories of a torturous initiatory process that we now identify as ritual abuse.

Lynn Brunet (PhD) is an Australian art historian, artist and survivor of Masonic ritual abuse. Her research examines the coupling of trauma and ritual in modern and contemporary Western art and literature. In particular, it traces the connection between Masonic and other fraternal initiation rites and complex trauma in the work of so-called ‘tortured’ artists and writers.

Attachment Relationship in DID: Survival, Destruction and Healing – Adah Sachs PhD

Attachment Relationship in DID Adah Sachs PhD - PowerPoint

Attachment is a survival instinct. It makes any newborn, from elephant to human to robin reach out and attach to another, because the newborn’s life depends on protection and care. This presentation, however, will discuss in depth how the life preserving instinct of attachment may be corrupted by trauma and abuse, and become a vehicle for harm and destruction. In families where abuse is an inevitable part of life (such as RA families), the intense distress and terror experienced by the child (or adult) intensifies their attachment needs to such an extent that reaching towards the attachment figure, who is also the abuser(s), is unavoidable, creating a vicious cycle of seemingly unstoppable suffering. Clinical examples will illustrate the process of destruction as well as the process of healing, both enabled by attachment.

Adah Sachs PhD is an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a member of the Bowlby Centre. She has worked for decades with adults and adolescents in psychiatric care, as consultant psychotherapist at the Clinic for Dissociative Studies and as head of psychotherapy for one of the London boroughs, now retired. Adah lectures, assesses and supervises worldwide on trauma, dissociation and attachment. Among her publications on these topics are numerous book chapters, journal articles, a co-edited special issue of the JTD (The Abused and the Abuser: Victim-Perpetrator Dynamics, 2017), three co-edited books (2008, 2018, 2023) and one in print.

Exploring Our Many Facets Through SoulCollage (C) – Patricia Quinn

 

https://youtu.be/KU5FaNRcXb8 

SoulCollage (C) was developed by Seena Frost to explore the different aspects of ourselves and of our lives. It’s popularity has spread worldwide, with in-person and online groups and conferences, because of its appeal and elevation of our inner awareness of ourselves and our world. This simple, poetic exercise of our creativity touches our authentic self/selves and contributes to a sense of community and wellbeing. After selecting and composing images that honor these aspects of ourselves we are then invited to let the image “speak” for itself. This can be done in journaling in the chat, or aloud.

Participants can gather photographic images that attract them before the meeting. All that is needed then are your journal, 5×8 inch pieces of cardboard, glue stick, scissors, and a surface to cut and paste on. In SC any and all parts are welcomed and appreciated to be depicted and fathomed. The 90-minute workshop will include an introduction to SC, an example of card making and time to create and share your cards. To learn more you can research online about SoulCollage.
