off topic but YAAAAAAS YOUR SCREEN NAME
Thank you for mentioning this. One of the hardest things for many people who work with victims of trauma to do is admit they’re experiencing trauma themselves - there’s so much guilt, feeling like you shouldn’t be as affected because obviously the actual victims went through something awful and you’re just there…
Don’t thank me. I work in administrative capacity. My job is the easy one.
Thank you. This review is genuinely pathetic and anger making.
Thank you for pointing this out. I work at an agency that investigates child and elder abuse allegations and we’re just now in the process of creating a new program that focuses on providing mental health resources and other services to employees. Secondary trauma is a real thing.
It is important to remember that Farrow’s sister, Dylan, wrote about the “grooming” and alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, Woody Allen. In a piece for the Hollywood Reporter in 2016, Farrow lays bare his personal stake in the movement—his sister’s suffering—and it is this investment that led him…

Been waiting to post this since last year! Apologies in advance for the length, and hopefully this gets out of the greys.

I submitted this one far too late last year, so I guess I may as well send it in again? Here goes:
(Hoping this doesn’t get buried in the greys) The summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I stayed to work in the city it the two bedroom apartment style dorm I had lived in during the year, and was joined by three summer session girls from another school. They were all old, close friends, but one…
Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I doubt this will make it out of the grays, but I’m adding to the stories of dead loved ones saying hi. Not scary, but not exactly your everyday occurrence. This is probably longer than it needs to be, but that’s okay.
When I was about 14 I went down to San Antonio with my family and a buddy of mine. We were staying at a hotel that was right next to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Since we were staying at the hotel they gave us free tickets and early access to the park, which was awesome. So me and my buddy go in and we are basically the…
This is by far— by FAR— the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me.
Made this account purely to participate because I have a recent weird experience. This story is from about two months ago. I have no clear explanation for what the hell happened and it took me three attempts to work myself up to remembering it in enough detail to write it down. Here goes.
I grew up in a small town on the Oregon coast, and it was the summer of my senior year of high school in the late 90s. My best friend and I were asked to house sit for some family friends of ours as they drove their son to college back east. They’d be gone for a whole month—jackpot! The family was one of the wealthier…
I’ve hiked in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona quite a bit. One day I wanted to try somewhere new that wasn’t too taxing and still scenic. So I bypassed my usual trails and went to an area with a parking lot and set off from there. There was a paved path and once it ended, the trail led into a steep wash (kind of…
