Centering the Needs of Survivors (Part 2)

How do I get involved?

Esteban Kelly’s analysis really brings to mind Susan Silk & Barry Goldman’s grief concept - “Ring Theory.”

I really want to understand how TJ and survivor-centeredness would behave with child abuse, or with s*xual abuse of children. How does TJ work in a scenario in which harm is to such a degree that recovery for victims is almost impossible or when survivors don't pose much of a threat to perpetrators or can't express needs eloquently, that challenges our notion of what humanity can be at its most extreme. Does therapy play a part, and do TJ organisations work to help survivors access these tools or does it leave them on their own in this regard in order to focus more so on perpetrators of harm?

unfortunately it from what ive seen there seems to be a focus on reuniting kids with their parent that sexually abused them

[@chiqtheequeen]

Families and communities are always holding space for and offering love to harm doers. Literally all the time. And it actually doesn't shift their harm doing. It maintains generational patterns of harmful behavior. So I'm not clear why it makes sense to devote so much resource to people who hurt other people. And please do not draw moral equivalence between a person who yells at their friend and someone who committed CSA against a 5 yr old. Not even in the same universe.
