Boundaries Supporting Our Community Container (And Consumer Protection Issue)
PLUS: Community announcements (FSA Education Gift Certificates; new 'Scapegoat Hero' Etsy store, etc.,) and more Substack site navigation tips you won't want to miss!
In my work in the area of psycho-emotional ('invisible') abuse and related trauma, I support child victims and adult children survivors. I believe what victims and survivors tell me and give them the space to share their stories, free of judgment. Escaping the Gordian knot of family dysfunction and scapegoating abuse can seem impossible at times, particularly when abuse dynamics are insidious, invisible, and subtle. But it is not impossible to recover from the ravages of Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA). How do I know? Because I don't just research on and teach others about this form of abuse: I'm an FSA adult survivor, too.
