Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

HUGE ALERT!!!

Do not skip reading this!

There will be a part of a therapy session to Ace. As you all know there were non-consensual episodes in his life. So, the therapist is addressing some issues.

BUT!

DO NOT COPY THE CONTEXTUAL STATEMENTS IN REAL LIFE.

I have seen it happen in multiple times where people just throw around certain terms of therapy and just stuff it in the faces of others, especially to survivors of abuse.

It is good to understand the procedures and terms of psychotherapy but that is not enough to be a therapist.

In other words, the experiences of applying bandages would not make a person expert in surgery.

Professional therapist go through whole lot of ordeals before they start treating others. And in many cases a patient's acceptance of therapists also varies even though they are all equally qualified.

So here this is just a story. The therapist is in my head, so is Ace. The statements that are said here will only help Ace because the therapist knows Ace... again, only because they are both in my head.

Please do not go around throwing terms and pretend to know what is best for a person with trauma because your heart is in good place.

Person with trauma do not need medical expertise from the people who don't have it. They need compassion, understanding and above all just a listening ear from such people.

If you shove your ideas and bits of knowledge you received from social media and books down to the throat of a troubled person to fit your idea of perfect human behaviour, you are just a bully.

No, being a survivor of abuse yourself, will not make you a spokesperson of all the abused peoples' mind.

Different people have different perception of life and different experiences. Only a trained and skilled professional will know to help them clinically.

Otherwise, just be there for them and honestly sometimes that is all a survivor needs.

The following chapter could be really triggering.

Mentions of drug administrations, paedophilia, talks about rape are in the next chapter.

Please forward with caution.

If any of you need a gist, comment it here and I will write, but since this is the official ending, I suggest you read it.

But if it is too much, just tell me.

I am sorry for the long rant, Lovelies.

It is just, in social platforms like Instagram I have seen people just telling a abused person how to live. It might be logical and the right things they are saying but that does not mean it is the right and correct way to do it.

Be compassionate, that is the only way we can help other people.

Pheww...

So...

Brace yourself.
