THE HELD SELF™
Sexual and Other Trauma
Information, Context and a Way Through
There is no shortage of information about trauma. What is rare is work that actually reaches it. The articles here are not an exhaustive study ~ they are a doorway. If you recognize yourself in any of them, that recognition is enough to begin.

HAVE YOU experienced SEXUAL ASSAULT OR OTHER CATASTROPHIC TRAUMA
If something happened that changed the course of your life ~ and you have never fully found your way back ~ this is where to begin. A direct, honest look at what catastrophic trauma does and why conventional approaches so rarely reach it.
ARE YOU A MALE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED SEXUAL ASSAULT
This work is for you. Fully, without reservation. A clinical and framework-based look at what male sexual assault does to the system ~ and why the posture of strength-as-armor keeps the weight in place. If you have wondered whether support like this was ever really designed with you in mind ~ this article answers that directly.
STILL A WARRIOR ~ HEALING AFTER MALE SEXUAL ASSAULT
For the one who has always had to hold it together ~ this one is written directly to you. Tears are tension busters and men come with the same biological system to use them. A different kind of strength lives on the other side of this. You are still a warrior.
TRAUMA STACKING
Why does healing one thing sometimes reveal three more? Trauma stacking explains why the weight compounds ~ how similar coded packets cluster together and why a single event can feel disproportionately overwhelming. Understanding the mechanism changes everything.
DID CHILDHOOD TRAUMA OR SEXUAL ABUSE LEAVE GAPS IN YOUR MEMORY
I called it 'going underground'. Later I learned the clinical term ~ Dissociative Amnesia. If time has gone missing, if memories have gaps you cannot explain, if you have ever blinked and found yourself somewhere else entirely ~ you are not weird or crazy. This is a common trauma response. And it responds to the right kind of work.

“Since having my father’s energy removed I have come into a place that is new to me. I no longer experience the self-sabotaging messages that he told me as a kid. I can feel that it is gone. I am finding myself emerging as a whole new person ~ as the person I always wanted and knew I could be. I am blown away by the new person I see in the mirror.”
~ Kathy R, USA
