Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Essentially that's what my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> model does. It addresses those beliefs, not just within an individual survivor, but for all of us, in how we help abusers with our language, beliefs, preferences, in who we choose to defend, in our moral systems, in our laws and biases.</p><p>I've taken what I've learned from my own abuse recovery and therapy of many years, my studies on psychology and trauma, but most importantly, from learning about cults, high-demand groups, coercive persuasion, and religious trauma recovery, and merged those into a unified theory.</p><p>There really isn't much difference between domestic abuse and cult membership.</p><p>And cult recovery involves deconstructing those beliefs, making yourself aware of them so that you can consciously choose which to keep and which to throw away.</p><p>I've been out of Mormonism for 24 years, and I still find beliefs I have not been aware of this whole time. I've been away from my worst abuser for almost a decade, and still find beliefs he instilled in me that I have not yet examined.</p><p>The undue influence techniques used by cults are almost identical to those used by abusers and manipulators. These techniques are used at the societal and political levels as well, and can also demonstrate how racism, sexism, etc all work.</p><p>I can't tell you specifically which beliefs you have in you, but I can show you the purposes they serve... there will be beliefs about who you can and cannot trust, what you should be afraid of, what punishments await you for misbehaving, and a couple dozen others. Knowing that framework can guide you through discovering your own induced phobias, milieu control, and thought-terminating clichés.</p><p>(Brief plug for my book, Recovering Agency, which outlines 31 manipulation techniques in context of Mormonism, but that can be applied elsewhere.)</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abuse</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cults</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindControl</span></a></p>
Mx. Luna Corbden<p>There's an aspect of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> I don't see much discussed or even studied, but you can bet that whoever is causing the CPTSD thinks of it this way, either with conscious awareness or not:</p><p>Behavior modification.</p><p>That's what really separates PTSD, say from a random act of violence, from complex PTSD that affects almost every area of one's life.</p><p>CPTSD is a result of a behavior modification program. An abuser or abusive system conditioned you to believe and behave a certain way, often many sets of behaviors across most areas of your life. That's what makes something a cult or a high-demand group. That's what makes for a domestic abuse situation – it's in the things they force you to do.</p><p>The recovery focus tends to be on the trauma itself -- ok we're in sympathetic nervous state, let's unpack triggers, get coping skills, EMDR, meditation, calm you down. Fine.</p><p>But rarely (outside of cult exit counseling) have I seen much focus on the BELIEFS an abuser or system has instilled in us. Beliefs that modify behavior. That sense that if I touch a hot stove I'll be burned, but it's not a stove, it's normal everyday things that I can't avoid and I'm wandering an inescapable maze of pain-points.</p><p>Address the beliefs themselves.</p><p>It's a major gap in how PTSD is treated in our culture. EVEN the helping professional community is so bogged down in these abuse culture assumptions (that trauma is "in the past," that the abusers are no longer present, that it's just a nervous system thing, just process the trauma events) that they often ignore the set of interlocking ever-present beliefs, and they ignore the very aspects of society we're just supposed to tolerate (bad workplaces, chronic stress, toxic religious beliefs).</p><p>What did my abuser make me *believe* about myself? What did my toxic religion make me believe about the world? How do I view reality through an abuser-provided lens?</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abuse</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a></p>

Editor<p><strong>Pioneering study examines cold water therapy’s potential to treat PTSD</strong></p><p>According to PTSD UK, one in 10 people in the UK is expected to experience PTSD at some point in their lives. Yet despite its prevalence, there has been limited research undertaken into the condition in the UK, and to date, no scientific study has been conducted anywhere in the world that explicitly examines the impact of CWI on PTSD symptoms.</p><p>The Swansea University study involves 16 members of the Veterans RV Swansea Community group who have PTSD and take part in cold-water dipping and swimming sessions at Caswell Bay in Gower.</p><strong><em>Veterans in the sea at Caswell Bay<br></em></strong><em>(Image: Swansea University)</em><p><strong>Lead researcher Dr Denise Hill, Associate Professor of Applied Sport Psychology&nbsp;at Swansea University, said:</strong> “With at least eight per cent of UK veterans diagnosed with PTSD annually, the condition presents significant economic, personal, and social challenges. While other studies have highlighted the benefits of cold water therapy, ours seeks to establish whether regular cold-water immersion can reduce PTSD symptoms specifically, and serve as an accessible and acceptable supplement to traditional mental health treatments.”</p><p>Before the observation period, study participants began self-administering saliva samples four times a day over two days to measure cortisol levels – an indicator of stress.</p><p>After each weekly cold water immersion session, participants complete three post-dip questionnaires assessing their levels of wellbeing, depression, and PTSD symptoms.</p><p>Throughout the study, participants periodically repeat the saliva sampling process to track changes in cortisol levels and overall symptomology.</p><p>Initial findings from the study show that cold water immersion is positively impacting a number of the PTSD symptoms across the participant group.</p><p><strong>Phil Jones, a former Royal Marines Commando who is taking part in the study, said:</strong> “For years, I’ve practiced cold-water immersion to support my mental health and overall wellbeing, so I was excited to take part in this study alongside the veterans’ group I support.</p><p>“My ultimate goal has always been to help more veterans struggling with PTSD, and it’s been incredible to witness firsthand the physical and mental benefits this practice has had on those new to it. Now, more than ever, I’m eager to see the study’s final results, and I truly hope this research paves the way for new, effective ways to support thousands of veterans worldwide.”</p><p>Dr Hill added: “This study represents an important first step in understanding whether CWI can serve as a complementary therapy for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. If successful, the findings should pave the way for further research, and if cold water immersion is deemed to be effective, the development of new, accessible treatment pathways for those with the condition.</p><p>“Given the accessibility and appeal of cold water immersion among veterans, we hope our research will provide valuable insights into its potential as a therapeutic option.”</p><p><strong><em>(Lead image: Swansea University)</em></strong></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/caswell-bay/" target="_blank">#CaswellBay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/cold-water-swimming/" target="_blank">#coldWaterSwimming</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/gower/" target="_blank">#Gower</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/ptsd/" target="_blank">#PTSD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/research/" target="_blank">#research</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/swansea/" target="_blank">#Swansea</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/swansea-university/" target="_blank">#SwanseaUniversity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/swimming/" target="_blank">#swimming</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/veterans/" target="_blank">#Veterans</a></p>

Sophia 🌸<p>Hi.<br> Just call me Sophia.</p> <p>I'm 18 and I go by she/her pronouns.</p> <p>I decided to join the Fediverse as an attempt to stabilize my mental health. I decided to start with Wafrn because I am already familiar with the Tumblr<br> I want to post about positivity, coping with trauma and maybe make friends that are not out there to abuse me. I like vocaloids and Kirby a lot. Also I am queer and want to partake in furry fandom but now it is too triggering of a topic to me…</p> <p>My story is complicated and quite traumatizing, but important to understand why am I like that.</p> <p>I have been trapped in a cycle of sexual (and other) abuse since I was 9. <br> My parents didn't give me much attention, so I was one of the kids with unrestricted internet access, even though later on my phone was monitored.<br> I have been groomed online by the most visceral people you could imagine.</p> <p>At first it was fine because they gave me attention unlike my family, and treated me with what I thought was warmth. I had a blog on Tumblr literally targeted towards predators and abusers at 13 to get more attention and nothing boosts your confidence like adults being into you.<br> However, I was trapped in this for years as well, I have been sent incredible amounts of CSAM material, old perverts confessing to abusing their child relatives or even strangers, people admitting to sexually abusing their animals, receiving videos of animals being sexually abused in ways you couldn't even think of. <br> I was still a child.</p> <p>At some point, also at 13, I was constantly raped by various adults (well technically i "consented" but now I know even if a child says "yes" it is not consent.) who also forced me to perform acts on animals on some occassions.</p> <p>My parents later became physically and mentally abusive against me, became more controlling and found out about the things I did online. They called me a whore and wanted to lock me in their house so I would never show outside.</p> <p>Long story, but I fled this house soon after turning 18. I now live with a trusted childhood friend and I'm trying to have control of my life again and start getting therapy to heal from the consequences of what happened to me.</p> <p>Here's a few boundaries from me:</p> <ul> <li>Please do not interact with me at all if you mainly post NSFW stuff, even if CW'd. Please. Especially if it's ageplay, ABDL, furry stuff and things like that. I do not want to kinkshame but I am unable to prevent a meltdown when presented with content that reminds me of my own trauma.</li> <li>This also means do not get sexual with me even as a joke. I react badly.</li> <li>Do not ask for my personal information, even if it's just a country location. I am aware people will find out sooner or later via my IP address but please just let me be anonymous.</li> </ul> <p>I am open to questions both about my hobbies or my past trauma but again, no personal information.
