Healing
While I was at walking yesterday, I found it very healing and allowing me to process my trauma.
It Occurred to me that instead of suggesting going to university Childline should have suggested processing and healing of the trauma. Going to university means moving to an an Inner city area which is far from nature. That means taking on a course, engaging in a busy social life. These aren’t conducive to healing from the trauma. For three years, you are cold and hungry and afraid. There’s a lot of threats and hazards as you walk home late at night from the library as a young woman alone on the street. You can’t afford buses or taxis and you can’t afford to live in halls. Male students chat you up and try and pick you up which is exactly the opposite of what you need to heal. It was just not the right place for Childline to suggest a person should go to heal from trauma. Let it alone in the route to getting there; Five years of sleeping with a paedophile in order to have accommodation so that you can stay at school so that you can go to university.
