Hi, I’m Pneuma, welcome to pneumalogue.
I’m a Japanese American child incest abuse survivor and child sexual abuse awareness activist, currently working on my memoir while trying to unlearn unhealthy habits by treating my complex PTSD symptoms and figuring out ways to be happy with myself through various types of trauma therapy.
I’ll always have a sweet spot for psychedelics-assisted therapies, but I have been relying more on talk therapy and occasional Gestalt therapy in recent years.
This shift is partly because I’m alarmed by so many stories of patients getting sexually exploited by therapists during psychedelic treatments, which is something I’ve experienced personally as well.
We first need to learn to respect each other’s physical and emotional boundaries through comprehensive sexual education that teaches us to say no to abuse even if is done by a parent or someone we thought could be trusted. If this basic step is skipped, no wonder drug is going to help, in fact, it may further harm us beyond imagination.
By prerequisites, I mean respecting personal boundaries and being humble enough to take no for an answer.
It’s basic comprehensive sexual education; something humanity needs crucially.
It takes adults to listen to children’s feelings instead of forcing their self-righteousness on them.
I understand how hard this is because I am also human and was brought up by humans.
But I’m hopeful because I’ve seen some people do it: respecting boundaries and lending an ear to children and our child within.
