（作者：Kat Wilkins 凯特·威尔金斯; 翻译者: Kamal K） 欲英文原文，请点阅：https://substack.com/home/post/p-146963005 根据每个角色独特的挑战和情况，我有一些想法和思路。其中一些想法来自我作为创伤治疗师的培训和长达十年的经验。有些则来自我个人在这种虐待中的心路历程。 当你继续阅读时，请记住这些仅仅是想法；通往康复的道路肯定有很多，每个人的旅程都会有所不同。没有人能为你的康复设定时间表或议程。 邀请函 当我写这篇文章和下面的大纲时，我把它想象成一种邀请，就像你可能会在邮件中收到的活动纸质邀请函一样：有一些指导方针，比如着装要求、主题或活动时的天气情况。但是你可以选择如何处理它——你如何回应，是否参加，如何着装或携带什么，以及停留多长时间。同样，我希望你将这里写的想法视为一个邀请，你可以选择如何参与，采取什么，以及它如何引导你。 对读者的免责声明 在我分享一些可能的治愈途径之前，我想承认这是一项艰苦的工作。走过痛苦、伤害和黑暗需要巨大的勇气。给出建议很简单；但在你的生活中真正采取这些步骤中的任何一步都需要耐心、勇气和大量的支持。 对幸存者说的话 当我坐在这里打字的时候，我想到你们每一个会读到这篇文章的人，尤其是受害者（或者“幸存者”，如果你们中的任何一个人更喜欢这个词的话）。我非常感激我能对你说一些话，也感激这个机会能帮助你获得同理和治愈。感谢你们来到这里，感谢你们花时间阅读这些话和想法。我也对你充满同情，感谢你今天、现在、勇敢地站在这里。我希望你知道，即使读着这些话，你也体现了诚实。我想象着你经历了很多。你的身体承受了很多。没有太多的保证，但当我想象你和你在读这篇文章时可能承受的一切时，我希望与你分享以下几个承诺： 1) 你不能独自完成这件事。社区对你造成的伤害需要一个（可能不同的）社区来帮助你治愈。你能想到哪怕一个对你来说安全、富有同情心的人吗？也许你会考虑以某种方式对那个人说：“谢谢你成为我的朋友。我将踏上艰难的康复之旅。你愿意以_________的方式支持我吗？” 支持系统可以包括朋友、家人、同事、医疗服务提供者、治疗师等等。我提供定期的虐待康复小组，很想看看这是否适合你。请在此处联系我，了解潜在团体。 2) 你并不孤单。即使你想不出有哪个人可以给你安全的支持，我也想让你知道，还有其他人和你一样，正在忍受难以想象的痛苦，渴望完整。与其他幸存者建立联系的一种选择是加入 Broken to Beloved 的团队，这是一个很好的非营利组织。 3) 你值得被爱。如果你不相信这一点，没关系。我会替你相信。 4) 你身上有巨大的智慧。多年来，我与客户合作，让我相信我们的身体天生就知道什么时候不对劲——以及如何治愈。我最喜欢的创伤治疗形式之一是 EMDR，它利用了你身体已经拥有的治愈能力，但又给它提供了治愈的空间和安全性。联系我，看看你是否适合，或者在这里阅读有关 EMDR… 🌷对于施暴者、保护者和受害者来说，康复是什么样子的？🌷
