WELCOME FRIEND
This
Rape Victims Support
study was shared
by a Christianity oasis Ministry member and this
Rape Victims Support program is intended for those souls whose hearts are lost in a sea
of confusion and pain and are seeking HOPE. Those whose
minds and hearts are full of despair, shame, pain and even
guilt
over the loss of touch with their inner child, due to
rape.
It is also for family
and friends of rape victims and rape survivors who need
Rape Victims Support and
who are
trying to cope with their loved one during the difficult
times and seek to share
Rape Victims Support.
It is also for those
who seek to reach and teach those they encounter who are
rape victims and rape survivors.
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT PROGRAM WITH RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT GROUP
AND RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT
STUDY
RAPE
...
Even the
word itself sounds defiling.
The definition of rape
is ...
|
To
force another to have sexual intercourse, to seize, take, or carry
off by force. Rape, also referred to as sexual assault, is
an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with or
without sexual penetration of another person
without that person's consent.
|
The statistics on rape
in America alone are staggering as much as they are
frightening.
Here's the
math ...
According to
the U.S. Department of
Justice's National Crime
Victimization Survey ... The
country's largest and most
reliable crime study, there
were
248,300 sexual assaults in
2007
(the most recent data
available).
There are 525,600 minutes in
a non-leap year. That makes
31,536,000 seconds/year. So,
31,536,000 divided by
248,300 comes out to 1
sexual assault every 127
seconds, or about 1 sexual
assault every 2 minutes.
(Rape, Abuse and Incest
national network)
1 out of
every 6 American women has been the
victim of an attempted or completed rape in her
lifetime and about
3% of American men
or 1 in 33
have experienced an attempted or completed rape in
their lifetime
(Rape, Abuse and Incest national network)
77% of rapes are
committed by someone known to the person raped.
(Bureau of Justice Statistics 1997)
According to the
National Victim center, 683,000 women are raped each
year. (1992)
|
The
circumstances of each sexual assault may vary, but
the seeds of despair planted within the mind and heart of
the victims, remains eerily similar.
Most choose to bury
what happened deep within their minds and share it with few
to none. They feel alone and live in fear most of their
lives, in particular when they are alone. Almost anything
they see or hear triggers the horrible thoughts of their
past, bringing forth many various types of negative
emotions.
The emotional ups and downs we are experiencing are
hindering our relationships.
You go through your day feeling fine, then something reminds
you of the past and the emotional roller
coaster begins.
If someone approaches you when you are in this state of mind
and heart, that person can become your verbal punching bag. Leaving them wondering what they did
to deserve that type of behavior. After being snapped at a few times they
start putting distance between you and them and soon ... The
friendship or relationship is in jeopardy.
This state of mind and
heart usually evolves into addictions (such as alcohol
abuse, drug abuse, cutting and other self harm techniques)
which resulted from their many attempts to find an "escape"
from the bombardment of thoughts and whispers.
As time passes, it
becomes a vicious cycle of confusion and pain which become
so overwhelming that most cannot bear it.
Most
just feel ... BROKEN

"Broken"
By
Scott Stapp
Why are we overcome with fear?
What if I told you that fear isn't real.
Why are we overcome with death?
What if I told you my friends your doubt
You could live without!
There is a question I want to understand
Why can't everyone tell the truth and learn to love again
Do you know ... What it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know
One more question ... I know time is dear
Is what the world speaks of love really real?
The answers not of this world but very clear
Look above to find love and you found eternal life
Street corner preachers you've heard before
Friendly advice just gets thrown out the door
There is a question that I want to understand
Why can't everyone tell the truth ... And learn to love again
Do you know ... What it feels like to be broken and used?
Scared and confused
Yes I know ... What it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know
I'm Broken!

RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT TRUTH WITH
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT COUNSELING AND
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT HEALING
Those
who are caught up in this web, have two choices ... Fight or Flight.
Most
choose Flight.
The
result ... The victim being encaged in a Spiritual prison,
as tho they were the guilty party instead of the victim.
The inner child within the adult body is so very horrified
at what occurred that they choose to hide within.
They build a castle
within themselves with very high walls. They dig a moat
around their castle and fill it with things man dares not
look upon much less ever try and touch again.
They
fear communicating with just about everyone in their lives
and this can also include their friends and family members.
So, they hide within their castle and peek out from the
highest window and grant audience to strangers from a safe
distance.
TRUST
... Is not easily established, if at all and in most cases
even tho they appear outwardly to trust ... They always fear
losing the friend or potential friend cuz the friend might
see the UGLY that they themselves BELIEVE they see when they
gaze into their own Spiritual mirror.
Sooooooo
... Most of these rape victims and rape survivors wear
spiritual masks.
These masks are used
to protect them from anyone ever seeing thru them and
knowing what happened to them.
The one wearing these
masks can even become a second (or more) entity or character
as they begin to wear this mask more and more often, even
forgetting themselves what lies they have told as to conceal
their shame and belief that they are somehow guilty.
GUILTY
???
Yes,
many believe themselves to be guilty ...
Most
feel anger and pain, but many feel shame and even guilt.
They
feel that they somehow could have done this or that. Maybe
if they would have not done this or that. Maybe they lured
on the predator somehow.
--------------------------------------------
SO, WHAT IS YOUR
STORY?
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT TESTIMONIES BRING FORTH
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT SURVIVORS AND
RAPE VICTIMS SUPPORT GROUPS
It could have been a matter of date rape, violent rape,
statutory rape, incest rape, gang rape, rape due to influence of
drugs or alcohol, raped when things escalated too fast with
someone and things had gone too
far, though you asked them to stop, they continued,
despite your pleas and now you live with that horrible
thought of what you now see as YOU allowing it to happen to you.
Maybe you were in a
place that you shouldn't have been and it just happened. Maybe you were suppose
to be with friends, but they got separated from you? Maybe
the friends encouraged you to go further with someone and
you did, but changed your mind but the predator did not.
Maybe you were taken
advantage of because of a medical condition? Trusted a
person and later found out they were not trustworthy when
they forced themselves on you? Taken off by force? Placed in
an unsafe place because of unfortunate circumstances (eg.
Prison)?
Maybe it was work
related?
A supervisor took advantage of his/her authority and touched
you in ways that made you feel uncomfortable. Unable to get away
from the way you were being treated because you NEEDED the job
to pay the bills.
If you were in, or are in, one of those situations or a similar
situation, this
program is for you.
I would like to ask you to join me in a relaxing and
ultimately healing
Rape Victims Support journey.
This Rape Victims
Support program is divided
into 3 Steps.
Whether you wish
to study one Rape
Victims Support Step each
day, or all 3 Steps at
a time is up to you.
As part of this Rape
Victims Support program,
I would also like for you to
start a Personal
Journal. Just jot down
your thoughts, your
trials and tribulations,
your questions, maybe
write a psalm, or your
goals, once a day. Keep
it private ... Just
between you and God.
When you find answers to
your questions, write
them down too.
That is
very important. It's a
great way to look back
and see your progress
and it also shows the
Lord your determination
to be healed.
Below is a list of
studies that you can
choose from which may
relate to you or a
condition or addiction
that you have
accumulated because of
what occurred. Consider
reading one or more per
day as you take these
steps including today.
When you are ready to proceed to Step One, just click on the link below.
*Be sure to save this page* to your favorites so you can return when you're ready to take the next Step, and may God's Grace and blessings be with you, every day of your life.
