"...I refuse to let fear determine what I say — or what I stay silent about — ever again. I am Jamie Harris Posey, and I’m a survivor of domestic violence. More importantly, I’m committed to using my own wreckage to help others navigate a path to safety. "
After 20+ years in therapy I only discovered IFS this year. In a small pilot study, 16 weekly sessions left 92% of participants no longer meeting PTSD criteria. Not a cure-all, but the results are hopeful. Healing is possible. 💭

Barry Goldstein on harmful outcome cases. These are extreme decisions where the alleged abuser is given custody and a safe, protective mother who is the primary attachment figure is limited to supervised or no visitation. Saunders says these decisions are ALWAYS wrong and based on flawed practices.

@theanthonydavis.bsky.social Did you just refer to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal as a consensual relationship between adults? I'm not taking away from the differences between Trump and SA of minors, but adults or not there was a power imbalance and it was harassment and coercion at best. Just sayin.

Before Obamacare, being a woman was a pre-existing condition, including coverage denial for domestic violence, contraception, pregnancy, and certain cancers. You could be charged more for insurance premiums just for being female. It was called a 'gender rating'.

Johnson doesn't think domestic violence is serious.
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

This is Jesse Mack Butler from Oklahoma. Butler r*ped two teen girls over a period of 9 months, nearly killed them by strangulation, which was recorded on video. Butler was convicted of 11 counts of r*pe and sexual assault and was sentenced to 78 years in prison.
But he will serve 0 jail time

Remember what depreciation is as Epstein associates use it to describe a young girl: the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life, accounting for its gradual loss of value due to wear and tear, age, or obsolescence.
A new page from Epstein's birthday book, according to House Oversight Democrats:
Epstein and a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joking about selling a "fully depreciated" woman to Trump for $22,500.

Making Domestic violence great again? Ugh
Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

This! Always trying to drown out the truth. With literal noise.
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

If you're stuck in isolation with someone abusive, message me about my make up, if I still sell it?
I'll know to keep checking in.
Ask specifically about my eyeliner and I will ask what your address is, so I can send you a free sample, so I can contact authorities for you. 💖
Stay safe!

I'm so sorry if I've added you more than once in the last few days! I ran into issues following people from starter packs and just had to reset everything. So I'm carefully reviewing and adding each back one at a time to make sure it’s done properly to avoid the spam/bots. Thanks for your patience!
